Freedom

Well i did it finally, I got a babysitter and went out with my husband sans kids.  It has been probably a year since I last did that.  We went to see the movie Hunger Games.  It was great, and so nice to be able to just watch the show instead of trying to watch four kids to make sure they are watching the show.  I love my kids, but I so needed a real break from them for a bit.  It is better for them if I do that and I intend to ensure doing it a bit more in the future I think.  I woke up this morning with the kids already awake and for once in a great while I did not feel like trying to imagine them back to sleep for a few hours just to get a bit of peace.  They are playing nicely in their room, I can hear them and looked a moment a go to ensure they were all there, so I am taking a moment to write this.  I have learned several times if I can't hear them, WORRY!  I am tired as we went to a show that did not get us home til one in the morning, but so worth it.  Now off to start a weekend of fun and cleaning.
