They are awesome. And I am very blessed to have a great relationship with them. We talk alot, about everything, everyday. This is great. Hopefully, one day when they are teenagers they will still want to talk to me and Mr. G. Having said that, there are days, hours, moments, when I would really love to have a mute button. Just to have some time to hear my own thoughts, rather than someone else's for a little bit.
Let me give you an example:
Mom, you know what happened at school today? Emmanuel had to move his clip. At recess, Mark and I played chase with Reece and Morgan. I didn't eat all my soup at lunch. I spilled some in my lunchbox. Do you think I could get a pet bird? Bri and Fabian have a bird. I want a bird. It could live outside. No, wait, never mind. I forgot that I want a rabbit. When can I get a rabbit? Should I get a boy or a girl rabbit? What should I name my rabbit?
Mom, what's for dinner? Where are we going now? Are we going home? When are we going home? What are we going to have for dinner? You know that mega armor Bakugan I want? Did you remember to put it on my Christmas list? It is so cool because you can take it apart and attach it to other Bakugan's. And I want that new Pokemon game. What do you think I should be for Halloween next year? You know what I want to do this summer? I want to come down here and see a movie and go to the museum. Well maybe not the museum, we'll have to see what they are showing.
At about this point in the conversation the voices start sounding a little like the grown ups in a Charlie Brown cartoon and I am starting to wonder if it is possible to be talked to death. Or maybe just go insane because of the voices. When I get really tired i ask them to please be quiet for a little bit so that I can think. This lasts for about 2 minutes, then the voices begin again. I really need that mute button...

I completely understand. I have 10 year old boy and 7 year old girl and sometimes they talk nonstop. However, I think I've developed a built-in mute button as I tend to tune out most of the noise. I'm a new follower.

You hit the nail on the head! I love my kids dearly, but a mute button now and then (particularly in the morning) would be just the thing.
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up with the TALU!
Oh I FEEL THIS PAIN my friend. If you figure it out let me know. I try to get up before everyone else does because that is the only time of the whole day I have to myself and it is quiet.
ReplyDeleteI can totally relate! I guess we could just get earplugs... I wonder what they would say if you just got up one morning and wore earplugs all day, lol. The quiet would be FANTASTIC!
