Sunday Mornings..no in fact it's every morning that I crave this quiet solitude. The only time when the world doesn't seem to exist!
Oh I forgot to mention that it's because no one in their right mind would give up the comfort of their beds at an unearthly hour just to sit and enjoy a cup of coffee.
So what do I do during these precious moments? I don't plan my day! I just enjoy the peace, the quiet, the 'doing nothing'.
You see..the world wakes up when my two kids wake up. The quiet household then feels like a mini nursery with them screaming at each other and shouting out 'Mummy!' a million times. All this while getting ready for school.
The non stop talking lasts till I drop them off to school and rush off to work in a crowded train. The minute I step into school (I work as a teacher) It's the exchange of morning greetings and my day continues with handling my students. Then, it's no longer "Mummy!" but "Teacher!!! He did this and he did that!"
You would think that once back home I have my quiet time again, but its no longer quiet in my head as the daily chores need to get done, I reflect on the day's events and what is to be done the next day! Before you know it the kids are back and it's back to the morning chaos, this time with homework and noise from the computer and television!
I don't get my quiet time at bed too since my son only stops talking when he sleeps and by then I am too exhausted to enjoy anything...
And so..I look forward to the next morning when I get to have my precious quiet time while the world sleeps - just to smell my coffee and listen to nothing!
