I came home from work the other night, and my wife had taken to her mother's.  I wasn't in trouble or anything, but the house felt very empty.
My wife took the kids over to her mother's one evening before I got home from work.  I thought it'd be pretty nice to have a quiet house for once.

I have a son, it's definitely nice to have some peace and quiet.

It was for a while, but it was too quiet for me!  I've gotten used to the noise.

You must have been very happy when they returned home.
