The Sound of Silence

After weeks of noise – so much noise – the house was quiet this morning. Middle Boy has joined Eldest Boy at secondary school and Youngest Girl has started her last year at primary school. Post-school run I got home and did what I’ve been dying to do for weeks: have a cup of coffee without being interrupted/distracted. And the funny thing? It was a little too quiet. Until they got home, of course. Chaos restored.
