It’s been a fairly quiet day for me without the kids being home.  I actually slept for about 13 hours and I can’t begin explain how much different life seems after being able to just sleep.

I sorta feel more alive than normal and I can see many more positive things in my life as a result of getting a good night’s sleep.  I haven’t really heard from the boy’s Mom and none of the kids have called with problems they want me to help them with. 

It’s truly been a break. 

Aside from writing a what I think is a really good Autism Awareness month piece, I used my free time to visit the grocery store and more carefully shop for groceries, without having to wrangle the boys or feel like I’m being rushed. 

Now I’m relaxing a bit and looking out upon my messy house.  Yes, it does stress me out because I’m a neat freak by nature but I’m not feeling so overwhelmed by it.  ☺
