You hear that?
It is is the sound of silence.
I mean, I can hear the keys on the keyboard clicking, but that it the only sound around here.
Do you want to know why?
IT IS THE FIRST DAY OF PRESCHOOL!!!
Can I get a hallelujah?
I love my children. I really do, but it is so nice to be in a quiet house, even if I will only be here for about 45 minutes.
Preschool rules. I dropped the kids off, I went grocery shopping, I went to the drug store, I came home and put away all of the groceries and now I have time to post in peace.
Oh yeah, and someone is educating my children and getting them nice and socialized.
And did I mention that the Bucs won yesterday? And UCF had a very honorable showing on Saturday. They lost to Texas, but only by three points. Texas was ranked #6 people.
I’m having a really good week.*
For now, I shall enjoy the silence.
Shhh.
*Even though Matthew destroyed me at fantasy football.

Hunter is in school. Maddy has a year before preschool starts. Do you know what I’ll do when she’s at school? Freaking sleep. I am telling you, i’m behind about 7 years worth, and it’s time for me to start making it up. When she naps now, I have too much to get done. But when she’s gone for a few hours, I will fully take advantage of those hours. I will sleep. I will NOT feel guilty about it either.

Oh happy happy joy joy school’s back in. Isn’t it the most wonderful time of the year? Forget Christmas Hanukkah whathaveyou.
Oh my my my. Lost to Texas. One of us is thinking too bad here and it’s NOT ME BABY! LOL
Come by my blog tomorrow-ish wherein I describe how I want to adopt Amobi Okaye (do not quote my spelling) and adore Ephraim Salaam from afar (or closer, not picky here).
Yes, husband knows and wants to be his BFF, as well as season tickets. 
He does not care why I like football as long as I do.

In this one quiet moment while 3B is sleeping and Mama is out walking Barky, I can just barely hear the tiny sound of my heart breaking at being crushed again–again!–in fantasy football. I’m telling you, that league is rigged.
Oh, and congratulations on that whole school thing. Can we send a 14-month old to school?

You don’t miss them? Not even a little bit? Heh. I’m just messing with you. I know how great it is to have time away from the kids!
