Noise or Silence

When I have the house all to myself and it is quiet I savor it-- it is calming, always stays clean and I control the TV. I am always ready to have my family back but boy is it loud...really what would we do without the noise.Voices of arguments, laughing, gripping, music, tv, pans rattling, dishwasher, dog barking, video games, cell phones clicking, requests of needs, complaints, information. I am sitting in my office just listening...........and thinking of my earlier post....contentment. They may get on my nerves but it is a good get on my nerves kinda thing.
