The house is quiet, which is weird because my men spent the summer sleeping in until early afternoon. They wouldn’t normally be up at this early hour, so how is it so quiet?
Do they possess abnormally LOUD energy?
When people say boys = noise, are they referring to energy?
While I’m not sure on those questions I am sure about this, our house stays SO much cleaner with the two tornadoes away and hubs snoring after a night shift.

Yesterday, I watched the 10B Ranger team try to move the football forward on downs. If they threw the ball or had the QB run it they would progress forward, however, if they ran an option to a running back they would loose yards Every. Single. Time. Three steps forward, two steps back. When there are 10 yards to get in 4 downs you really can’t afford to loose footage let alone loosing footage every other play.
It’s a lot like cleaning your house with kids at home. While they are sleeping, three steps ahead, when they wake back two steps.
But the truth is, I miss them. Their energy is part of the vibe here and the quietness isn’t how I like things.
In other news…
My new sixth grader, showed some pretty big concerns leading up to the move to the upper school. Yesterday I messaged him quite a few times with words of encouragement and also asked how his day was going. He didn’t respond ONCE!
When he came home he said it wasn’t as bad as he thought and he’s got this.
Today, while they were brushing their teeth and putting socks on I took my dog for our daily to the lake walk. When I arrived home I got a message from my little one…
I’m not ready for their energy to not fill the house and them to not need me as much.
Time, please be kind to me and move slower!
