All's Quiet on the Western Frontroom

Having two kids(now it has turned into three) means a house full of noise and activity! Someone is always wrapped around your leg or running past screaming in the background as you're trying to talk on the phone. Those are the times when you know what is going on, and have a sense of where everyone is at...98% of the time. It's the 2% when you can actually concentrate,..form coherent thoughts that the ice cold sweat begins to trickle down your back. What's that strange NOISE....it's quiet, a little too quiet!
It's during these times when you rush around trying to locate everyone that you find your daughter in the bathroom with mounds of toilet paper strewn about or like the other night, when everyone is supposed to be in bed, the sounds of gurgling noises coming from the bathroom because she wanted to "fix the potty" with the plunger, and you spent the night mopping up the small sea that has become the floor.
The thing about my kids is that they are totally different. If it's quiet the boy has found some game or toy to occupy his time...the girl, well she'll be the one with half a bottle of lotion on her body because she "needed" it. So even if I want peace and quiet I have to wonder what will I be getting myself into(or what my is daughter getting into)?
