Where Have All the Ears Gone?

I KNOW I'm not the only parent with this problem, but I will lament anyway.

What is UP with kid's ears? They work when they're born, but right about the time they start gaining mobility, they have a sudden loss of hearing. It starts out as a faint glimmer, then progresses until they are seemingly completely deaf by the time they are old enough to have to start being helpful.

And when their hearing sporadically returns long enough to hear you speak, they immediately have a meltdown. As though you asking them to put their own clean clothes away is going to cause them to shrivel and die. Or having to help unload the dishwasher is the latest form of torture, not too far from water boarding.

Then, of course, they wonder why they don't get to do fun things. Thank goodness most of them have a miraculous hearing restoration about the time they graduate high school. (MOST. You do have the 35 year old 'children' that wonder why their life sucks. But that is a whole other story!)

So, parents of the world, we are not alone and, one day, our children will be healed! :)

Busy-ness

Yes, it's been ages since I've blogged. I have a good reason, though!!

Although my kiddos were gone for an entire month (TOO long), and you would thing that I would have somuch time on my hands, that was not the case.

I am a "real" college student now! I transferred into UNT in July, and between work and school and, now that they're back, kids, I seem to have not a whole lot of time. So, I promise to TRY and blog more! I know my life is incredibly interesting and you are always sitting at the edge of your seat waiting for me to post!

Happy reading!
