Surrounded




Things that surround me:

Bars of freshly made lavender soap

boys playing with their daddy's lego cars

black beans simmering

stainless steal water bottle I got from christmas (thanks sis!)

mug of hot tea




My voice got lost somewhere in the van yesterday, at least that is what Warren said. I must have found it sometime last night because I'm back to my same decible level today. Warren exclaimed, "You found your voice Mommy!" Having lost my voice I actually realized two things...1) the boys can hear the tiniest whisper if they want to, 2)how often I tend to raise my voice to try to get their attention. Since, I couldn't raise my voice I didn't and things went much more smoothly than my loud voice could have imagined. So even though my voice has returned to it's rightful place I am striving to keep a quiet tone. We'll see how long it lasts....

Maybe I should pretend to lose my voice, just to keep things calm around here. :)
