Peace

You may not know this about me, but but I have a favorite word...it is peace.  Simply peace.  Its 8:09 a.m. and my husband is at work, my oldest daughter is off to school and my 3 year old is still sleeping.  I can smell my coffee brewing (it can't get done soon enough) and I have a little computer time! I never thought I'd value peace, quiet and alone time as much as I do now! Don't get me wrong...family time is great and I wouldn't trade it....but boy, when the only sound I hear is the coffee maker bubbling away in the kitchen it makes for one happy ME! Its almost October, right? Not too soon to break out my favorite Halloween mug....the kids have, afterall, dragged out a huge box of Halloween stuff that is going to clutter my house until nearly Thanksgiving because they love them so much stuff, so here's my contribution....
