Day 27: Shelter

I can hear the wind banging into our little wooden house.  The windows have been shaking and the electricity has been flickering. 

Today I am thankful for shelter.

I'm turning into a total homebody, which my eighteen-year-old self would have never believed. 

Being a homebody as a parent is of course different.  I read status updates of people with plans of curling up on the couch and reading a good book.  Could someone with three kids under six please tell me how they make this happen?
Do they listen to you when you tell them to go play by themselves?
Do they stop asking you questions every 10 minutes?
Do you hide?
Is there duct tape involved?

Just curious.

Surely these people reading a good book do not have 3 children under 6. Or 3 children under 10 for that matter. Or let's face it...3 children.
