Sonic Toothbrushes...

I heard a noise... I stopped what I was doing... I sat straight up... my eyes grew wider... I tilted my ear towards the deck... no, it's not coming from there...

oh where can that noise come from??

*twirl...buzz...buzz...gaguggle...buzz*

Nathan was playing a game on the computer - check.
Ellie was playing with her Breyer Horses - check.

WHERE'S ELIJAH??

A panic surges through me - as I walk down the hallway...

THE NOISE GROWS LOUDER!

*twirl...buzz...buzz...gaguggle...buzz*

I instantly looked into the bathroom...

there was my baby... brushing his hair with my Colgate battery operated toothbrush. *sigh*

I stared at him - and he turned around and jumped as if he saw a ghost...

"Ah! I soarry" he threw my toothbrush in the sink and ran away.



I didn't know what to do... should I laugh? should I be disgusted? should I be relieved that I can finally hear my son in mischief? Thank God I heard him before he actually put toothpaste on it!

Ugh!! That tooth pasting hairdo... not a good thing.

3 KIDS!

Whoever said that being a mom is like having 2 full time jobs... I wonder what they thought about having 3 kids! Is that 6 full time jobs?

*yawn*

It's about 11:30 P.M. and I'm finally having some time alone doing nothing after folding laundry. I should make myself another cup of "Almond Sunset" tea - I love it! The kids and I have started a new bedtime routine... a cuppa tea before bed. They seem to really enjoy being able to have some "adult" beverages... *makes mental note - get sleepy time tea!* It's nice to sit around the octagonal table and talk about our day.

I am going to try to share what it's like to be a hard of hearing mom through out my blogs. Some people have asked me what it's like.

"Is it easy?" Heck no.
"How much do you hear?" I don't know - go ask my audiologist.
