Contentment

I know that I don't need at lot right now to be happy.  The thing that seems to be missing the most is "me" time and "our" time.  With three young kids "our" time with just hubby and myself does not happen very often.  As we bed-share with the baby all the time and more than half the time with Banana we don't even get that quiet time late at night when everyone else is asleep.

I don't need much; a hot cup of tea, a chance to have some quiet time to read or knit.  Sometimes its a chance to just get out of the house for a while.  i was very lucky when Banana was small as I was able to get out and walk a lot.  To the library, to the store etc.  I even was able to have a standing commitment of my knit night.  But it worked with our schedule then.  The ones now don't usually.  They start at an earlier time and just being that bit further out a lot of times it just doesn't work. 

And like all quiet time in my house it doesn't last very long as the baby has decided not to sleep very long.
