All around me

Filed Under travel |

It’s Friday night and it’s not often on a Friday night that I can sit on the lounge and blog to my heart’s content while the rest of the family is at home.

Friday night in this house is "boys’ night" which means DH has a few friends over to play cards or darts or to just have a few beers and a chat. They usually sit in the dining room (where the dart board is currently hanging) so I usually shut the door between the dining room and living room so firstly, they don’t sound so loud (!) and secondly, I try to keep the kids from running in and out of the dining room because I’d rather them not hear the "colourful language" that sometimes can spill out of the boys’ mouths!

So, usually I’m folding laundry or finding something else that needs to be done or tending to the baby or refereeing the feral teenagers while they try to kill each other!

But tonight? The boys are quiet (hmm, not sure if that’s good or not!), the baby is toddling around, playing with her toys next to me, one of the teenagers is sleeping at a friends’ house and the rest of the kidlets are in their bedrooms, either playing on the PS2 or on the computer.

And here I was thinking that I was going to have to contact some laughlin hotels (I think that’s far enough away to have peace!) so I can book some quiet! I wonder how much quiet costs these days.
