Peace & Quiet

Apparently I must ask for this a lot.
A conversation a few weeks ago:
Me: What do you want for lunch?
Will: Nothing.
Abbie: Bologna.
Me: I want....
Abbie interrupting me: I know what you want mommy. You want peace and quiet!
Well, yeah, actually I do!

Yesterday:
Will: I want to go to Nono's and Nona's.
Me: You are going tonight.
Abbie: Yay, we get to spend the night.
Me: No. You can play there while mommy goes to dinner with friends.
Abbie: Will, mommy's going to go to a restaurant. We get to go to Nono and Nona's for awhile. Then it will be peace and quiet.
Me: Peace and quiet for who?
Abbie: For me and Will.
I guess the feeling is mutual! We all need a "peace and quiet" break from each other every once in awhile.
