I don't do well with loud either--we are a quiet people--so I sympathize with you! Hang in there. I'll keep you in my prayers.<br /><br />xofrancesLeft-Handed Housewifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15014518128739580267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5222945587640777221.post-89616504816207331342011-07-11T07:25:58.618-04:002011-07-11T07:25:58.618-04:00P.S. - I just noticed you have a Barbara Johnson b...P.S. - I just noticed you have a Barbara Johnson book listed on your currently reading list. It's been many years since I've read any of her books, but she absolutely cracks me up. Her book title "He's Gonna Toot And I'm Gonna Scoot" never fails to bring a smile to my face. I can just picture her outside practicing jumping up for the Rapture.

I noticed it had been many days since you had blogged. I have toyed with the idea of getting myself one of the new (inexpensive) iPods, but wonder if I could stand the ear buds in my ears all the time. I know it definitely works for drowning out other household noise as my oldest practically keeps his ear buds in every waking moment and cannot hear anyone when he's spoken to or called. (Or maybe he's just scamming me on that one.) Big (((HUGS))) to you - sounds like you're doing a wonderful job.flmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12781812205765728149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5222945587640777221.post-26378898263207345432011-07-09T22:26:03.304-04:002011-07-09T22:26:03.304-04:00i.love.you.i.love.you.*https://www.blogger.com/profile/17838478373220529853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5222945587640777221.post-60717532109641669232011-07-09T22:07:51.545-04:002011-07-09T22:07:51.545-04:00I've been really frustrated and on edge with m...I've been really frustrated and on edge with my two little guys recently too, because they have been in this ongoing stage of LOUD too and constant whining and screaming at each other and fighting. I just want to scream at them and I get so so worn out from it!! I can't imagine even more little ones making lots of noise. I'm thinking of you and praying!!

Just this morning I read in John 6:63, Jesus said..."The words I speak to you are spirit and they are life." How this might apply to you now? His Word is true and He is there for you to provide everything you need. Call out to Him continually.<br /><br />I pray for youCathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09710910366858293660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5222945587640777221.post-40763372790619914102011-07-08T11:53:12.957-04:002011-07-08T11:53:12.957-04:00And Deborah,
