What To Do About Noise

It's very loud inside my house at the moment. I am cooking, so I can hear the sound of the vent-hood whirring all the way in the bedroom.

Kian is crying, again. He isn't happy because he cannot possibly have dinner AND still fit all of the parts of his train set that he has been playing with on his little dinner tray.

I can also hear the babies movie, "Speed Racer" all the way from the living room and it's mingling with the sound coming from the baby monitor that consists of their lullaby music and DVD that is playing upstairs in their room.

Lately, it just seems soo noisy around here. Even my doggie is barking at the moment. I know, I know, it seems almost silly.

But you have to understand, that it seems that someone is always crying for some reason or another around here.

They also have learned the art of fake-crying, too, which really makes things trying at times.

They cry if someone takes a barrette out of Vivie's hair because the boys don't understand why they don't have the in their hair, too.

Never mind that Kai doesn't really even have enough hair to brush, much less try and put a barrette into!

It reminds me of that old Betty Boop carton called, "Noise Noise Noise" where she goes as far as to go to the country before realizing that she misses the noise from home.

I know that I would be frightened to death if it were dead quiet in here at the moment.

That usually means that my kids are up to something, and that something can never be a good thing!

So, at the moment, my nerves are frazzled, and I am trying to maintain some sense of sanity.

I suppose it's at least something to be able to admit that I have a problem, who knows!
