As a result of an infraction, both of my girls were sent just before two o'clock to their bedroom to stay there until dinnertime. Maddie is sleeping and Hope is quietly reading to herself. The house is eerily silent downstairs. An hour has passed and I almost don't know what to do with myself. A busy morning has left me tired, but now that I actually have the opportunity to relax...I'm finding it difficult.

I've been having similar experiences lately. I've had a few moments with both kids occupied (John mostly due to time outs while Kara's napping) and it is a eery feeling. It often happens when you're not expecting it, so it's hard to know how to spend the time, but it is nice to enjoy the quiet.
