Sound of Silence

Have you ever walked into a room and it was completely (well almost) completely quiet? I had one of those experiences today as I arrived home from a long day at work. Today was a very eventful day, as we had our first assembly, in which I had to stand at the front of the stage and sign with most of the school there. This assembly was an interactive one, where the speaker used magic to bring books to life. There was a lot of yelling and a lot of laughter. It was a great assembly and the teachers and kids enjoyed it alike. When school was finished I had a faculty meeting, a new teacher meetings, and a mandatory PTA meeting to go to. Needless to say as I walked through the door of my apartment, dropped my bag at the base of my futon, I stopped and listened....SILENCE. Now those of you who know me, know that I am not one for complete silence in a room. I like to have the TV or radio on in the background, but to tonight....only silence. The muffled sounds of the kids playing outside is the only background noise on tonight, and I'm enjoying it. Who would've thought. Now I think I know why my brother sometimes just likes when it's quiet. I may just snuggle down with a book!
