Peace and Quiet

Well, my beloved children sucessfully started their academic year yesterday. They were ready to go about 15 minutes ahead of when we actually left and they made their own lunches, of course with a reminder from me that they needed to pack a fruit as well, brownies don't count as a fruit (I too wish they did). They had their bags packed weeks in advance, which probably weighed close to what they weigh.
I am now enjoying the silent hum of my dishwasher and eating real food for lunch, KD will notice a dramatic drop in sales from our household. I can also hear my dog snoring who is the only one following me around the house now. It's eerily quiet but I have to admit, I like it! Probably because I know it will at change at 3:30.
