ear plugs
Moms - or parents for that matter - should be given ear plugs at the hospital when the baby is born... not because babies or children are ALWAYS obnoxious...kids are great. I LOVE kids. I love being with other people's kids too. I love playing with them, encouraging them, and cuddling them...and the list goes on, and I think most people that know me, know those statements to be true, but to be completely honest... THE NOISE NEVER STOPS! At least not in this house. Good noises, bad noises, sad, happy, angry noises...there is just a lot of it! And sometimes I am just DONE...D-O-N-E. done. Confession: I am a naptime NAZI. I might be a little anxious about when the naptime phase is over for everyone, because I just need a moment from the noise. I can remember when I was teaching and had no children of my own but came home and just needed silence...at least for awhile. I find myself completely overwhelmed by the sounds that they make. ...
