peaceful

Everyone is sleeping.. the boys, the mister, the dogs & cats.. other than the sound machine coming from upstairs it is silent.. yet I am up.
I do not remember when the last time I had silent was. Yes I have a sleeping baby laying in my arms but what is more peaceful than that..
How often does a mother get this silence? Not too often.. I am lucky enough to get it when I go running (which I have been trying to do AT LEAST 3x a week) but other than that I just don't.
I think I sometimes forget that I am anything but a mother... I forget that I am a WOMAN... Tonight as I was laying on the floor trying to get my 100 sit ups in and watch Big Brother while the boys were around me I actually got frustrated that someone kept jumping on me.. ahhh... as I sit here in my silence I am thankful for those boys... I am so lucky to have them.. It is literally a miracle. There is nothing sweeter than sitting here staring at my own little boy as he lays dreaming in my arms.. THAT is heaven.
