It's 8:39a. I've just finished reading the last few pages of Julia Child's 'My Life in France' (amazing book, by the way... just amazing). The house is quiet, so quiet I can hear the hum of the frig and the computer working. I'm not used to this quiet yet and still reveling in it. Kailey and Maggie started school last week, though this is first full week of school, Corinne is sleeping in and I am enjoying these mornings.
I haven't had this much peace since Kailey was an infant and I used to get up for her 6a feeding, than put her back down and stay up until she was up again until 9a. I can remember thinking how peaceful 6:30 in the morning really was outside on my deck, with my hot tea and my latest book. I'm that person again, only I sent the kids off to school with my hubby and the baby still sleep on, but my hot tea is in hand... latest book just finished and 8:30 in the morning looks just as peaceful.
The girls are adjusting just fine to school. Kailey is happy to be back and loves her new teacher. Maggie loves her teacher as well, and is slowly meeting new friends, I know she'll be ok. I'm good too, I'm enjoying the time away from two older girls after all constant time together this summer. I'm excited to see them after school. Corinne and I putter our days away, it hasn't seemed hard to fill the time, but it's nice to see 'me' again too.
