I really do get more accomplished when it is completely quiet in my house...nobody running around, dog not barking, kids ASLEEP, no radio, no TV, DH asleep and the only 2 people awake or myself and my oldest DD (19 almost 20)...that is the one time I actually get to talk with her and we talk about all kinds of odd stuff from food, to her BF having a big nose to what she wants to do in life LOL! I also get my best downstairs cleaning done with this happens as well.....so oddly during the week, my favorite time (it ain't even close to an hour) is when I get in bed and get to snuggle with my "ugly" kitty who is amazingly awesome!!! He really is the calm at the end of everyday!
