Saturday Solitude


As much as I love and adore my children, one of the tricky things is that one or more of them is ALWAYS THERE and I sometimes crave a bit of blessed silence and space to get my head together, or into a book, or onto a pillow. Mercifully, I have a fearless husband who is willing to take them all away from me from time to time, like on this rainy Saturday...

...and look, he's even smiling, bless him. They're off to the awful mall which the boys love because it has a kind of time zoney place with lots of awful games and they're allowed to play the non-shooting ones.
