Today seems to be one of those days where each of my children cannot hear anything - and I can hear every.single.little.stinking.scratch.or.movement - otherwise why would they all be talking at once after my repeated admonitions? I may just go out of my mind! At least school is done now and I can leave this room and the basement. I think I may also ban them from coming upstairs at all. Well, at least until dinner. Even though we are done with school, they are still making the most noise possible, and they are all talking at once!
I'm sure that this has nothing to do with the weather and the fact that I haven't been able to let them be outside, or the fact that I've been around all of them for what seems like constant days on end (since that first weekend in October when I was able to spend 24 consecutive hours alone in my own home).
Do you ever get to the point where even the tiniest noise just makes your skin crawl and makes you want to scream?? I'm there right now. I think I'll go find some chocolate or at least have a Chai tea.
Oh, Suzie, I yearn for that quiet too!! Today the "touchiness" was bugging me, it seems they always have to be touching me all. the. time. Sometimes that personal space, well, it needs to be personal. That's when I say a prayer to Mary asking for a loving heart like hers and somehow it's ok then. (the touchiness)
