The Occasional Friday Night

On most Friday nights, there’s a lot of commotion caused by little boys.  Hooting.  Hollering.  Screaming.  Crying.  Stomping.  Laughing.  All kinds of noises, all mixed up.  They are the sounds of my family, and they are good.  However, a the end of some weeks, on some Friday nights, I’d prefer a little more…tranquility.  Just a break, you know?  Mommy and Daddy deserve a break.

On the occasional Friday night, we get that break.  All the commotion is elsewhere.  I love those boys, but…for Pete’s sake…the silence is good.

Oh, I’ll miss them by tomorrow afternoon, I’m sure, but, for now, I’ll enjoy the silence of the occasional Friday night.
