Do you hear that?

(I thought I posted this earlier. For some reason, blogger isn't my friend today.)

Right now it's 10:10am in the Meyer house. All I hear are my fingers hitting the keys as I type and Caillou playing on the TV. Jack is taking his morning nap, Justin is washing the van and Claire is watching TV.

So, do you hear that?

It's 10:11am at the Meyer house and I don't hear "Mom, _____ just hit me."

It's 10:12am at the Meyer house and I don't hear "Mom, ______ won't give me what ______'s having."


It's 10:12am at the Meyer house and I don't hear "Mom, ______ has my toy."

It's 10:13am at the Meyer house and I don't hear "Mom, can we have McDonald's for lunch?"

It's 10:13am at the Meyer house and I don't hear "Waaaaaaaaaah" from ANYONE.


It's 10:14am at the Meyer house and the person making the most noise is me.


Right now I kind of miss it, but in the long run I think it's going to be ok. Acutally I think it will be just fine.

"hey nic, will you run outside and tell mom when andrew wakes up from nap so that i can mow?"

"hey nic, will you let andrew color with you while i make lunch?"

"hey nic, my hands are totally full and andrew wants to be carried...can you help me out?"
