yes, I am so very thankful that she talks. I know there are mothers out there praying relentlessly for their children to talk. I am aware that I am blessed.

but seriously...I have a right to be tired from time to time, right?? I mean..she is wearing me out. a single, solitary moment of silence would be GREAT. I feel bad because half the time, I don't even hear that she is talking to me because I have quite frankly...learned to tune her out for the most part. but there are days like I have had lately where I just can't. I really just wish she would keep a couple of her thoughts to herself!!

i'm sorry...I sound horrible, I know. and I have mentioned this here before

so I say I am a jerk because of this....

a few minutes ago, I asked her if it were possible for her to keep some of her thoughts to herself for a few minutes...just to give mommy some quiet time at 7am when I would love to be sleeping. She said "what do you mean???" I said.. "well, you talk a lot...I love you dearly...but you really don't ever seem to stop talking...I just want you to think quietly for a few minutes instead of talking...can you do that???"

she said "well, mom, I'm sorry, but this is just how God made me. I can't help it."

well...I guess she knows how to make me feel bad, now doesn't she???
That is great, as one day, the two of you may have a fantastic relationship because of that..
I know the lady I was helping out with her son would give her eye tooth if her boy could talk. He was a drowning victim at 2, he's now 19 and can't talk or walk..
