Listen - do you smell that?
All day long there are people talking, phones ringing, keyboard typing, printer noises, ahhh!!!
Ok, my office is quiet compared to most offices. I admit that most people would love to work in my department. But, for me, being the lunatic that I am, even the sounds in there can get to be too much. On one hand, it is quiet enough that I can hear people typing above all other sounds but on the other hand, I can hear everyone typing. At 5:00 though, I get to leave. I get in my car and have about 10 minutes from work to Larzipan's school. It is my time. It is quiet and glorious.
Today, this YOT Day 46, I am thankful for quiet time. Any quiet time I get.
Then I go get the boy and man, there is no quiet time after that. He is three. Do I really need to go into detail? Nope.
We get home. Dinner should get made and sometimes does. Dog pee usually needs to get cleaned up.and it is a ton of, "Mommy, come play with me!", "Mommy, I need juice feese.", "Mommy, look at my train I made!". Thomas & Friends is playing in the background on the TV so I hear music and train whistles and the horrible voices one cannot escape.
9:00 comes. Normally, this goes down smoothly but now and then there is the 20 minute fight. Then it happens again...I get some quiet time. You would think Chris and I would cuddle and spend time together...haha! YOU think that, reality has other thoughts. We sit on our laptops and do our own thing. It works.
I don't know about other people but I get overstimulated SO easy. Things just get to me. Crowds bother m. Too many lights bother me. Noises bother me. I try, I try really hard to not let it get to me but I can't help it. It just bothers me. Sorry.
You know what does not bother me? Quiet. I like quiet.
