   I feel your pain. My children don’t talk anymore…they YELL. Everything is always SHOUTED back and forth. My husband and I are quiet people. I have no idea where this behavior came from. And, in our 1100 square foot house, I really don’t have a place to escape to!

   Hang in there! They should all (hopefully) be back to school/work tomorrow.

   Can I have some cookies?

   Husband made popcorn, but Splig dumped a bunch out.
   Husband made chocolate chip cookies, YUM!

   But I could sure use one of those turkey club sandwiches!

   My kids talk so loud too. It makes me crazy! I love having them home, but I think I should have bought some ear plugs!

   Seriously. What is it with men and children??? Get them all miracle ear, then they won’t have to shout. :0)

   Sounds like a yummy day. Mmmm … pancakes.

   I’m blaming the ice too! I have made junk I never would have made otherwise, like the butterscotch sugar rolls I’m sitting her scarfing down as I sit like a lump at the computer.

   I need someone here to yell at me – to stop eating all this CRAP! But – cookies sound really good!

   Wow, remind me to get stranded at your house the next time a storm comes through!

   I did the same thing, except it was my level of cooking. Jello, etc. The boys have to YELL AT ALL TIMES. But when I yell? They look at me like I am so overreacting. Huh.

   What about those little spongy earplugs you can get at the hardward store? We wear them to concerts to filter out the eardrum-melting noise, but you can still hear everything else. It might save your sanity.

   I’m sorry, but that made me giggle.
   And I think all hubbies are hard of hearing to some degree. Dh’ll turn on a movie, at a normal-to-him volume. I.e. you can’t hear the garbage truck or construction trucks mere feet away from our living room. Drives me nuts, especially if the kiddos are napping.

    Sounds like my kids. The yelling, dear God the yelling. I am constantly reminding them that they are right next to each other and do not need to shout.

    A long time ago we banished the XBox to one of the kids rooms, so I can shut the door and not feel like they’re yelling in my face.

    You gotta love togetherness. And I thought the males in my family were the loudest. Is it part of the male genes?
