All is Quiet

So it's not even nine o'clock this morning, and B isn't even home from work yet, but I have noticed that despite the two hour delay for all three kiddos, it has been quiet here this morning. Exceptionally quiet. No yelling, no throwing or banging around...just the quiet hum of cartoons from the living room and the click of computer keys from the kids desktop in the hallway. It has not yet occurred to R to yank Z's chair out from underneath him, or to slap him in the back of the head on the way down the hall to the bathroom, and Z hasn't noticed that the cartoons aren't his favorite either. There is relative peace here for the moment. I am almost afraid....but keeping my fingers crossed that it lasts until the final school bus pulls away.
