tomorrow

I am craving quiet. the sound of silence. patter of little feet permitted. no tv. conversation. questions. confrontation.

I've been surrounded. engulfed. besieged. people talking to me. not so much with me. at me. last night after a meeting. that followed a meeting. that followed a meeting. was a breaking point. and I came home crabby. (and I despise being crabby.) the hubs took it gracefully. he is the kindest man I know. but I felt awful because he was the last one standing. covered in my apologies.

todays been more of the same. yap. yap. yap. blah. blah. blah. another meeting. blah.

but tomorrow. I am home alone. with a book. and Omar. a cup(s) of tea. comfy clothes. the occasional nap. I sigh. thinking about tomorrow.

'somewhere along the way the answer to the chaos became a quiet holy mantra.
be still. be still. be still. be still.'
