Quiet house

Scott was off to columbia this weekend for an mu game and i worked so he had to take the boys back home to sedalia to my parents house. They left friday night. Put pj's on both kids and then loaded them up in the car at 8:30pm. Yes I wanted to cry as they left, but i didn't. Instead, I was still in mommy mode and I mopped kitchen floor and swept the carpet. I finally got smart and just crawled into bed and watched some tv. Work was crazy this weekend. Let's not even go there......but it was nice coming home saturday night to a quiet house and being able to read a magazine before heading to bed. Now, my reward is doing all of their laundry and unpacking all the bags. Why does this not seem fair????? Mom's never get a vacation.....EVER!
