Hearing Voices

Hello all!
I have been away from this lil hobby of mine for quite some time. We have had a busy summer! I hope you all have had a good one and are ready to get back into a regular routine. I know we are!

My two oldest have been bickering on and off now for several weeks. They are SO ready for school! Mom is too...

This morning, my daughters beloved iPod was by the sink, yes the sink that holds dirty dishes and water. It was sure to be ruined. I asked her to come and get it, take it to her room. So...she came and got it, but the prized possession only made it to the kitchen counter, approximately 2 feet away.

Little brother, being well, the little brother, came and snatched it away as she walked away. He sat behind the counter listening to it for a couple songs...all this going on while I am trying to revive myself with a second cup of coffee, we have a busy day!
So he decided to test his limits once she didn't come looking for it or him and came waltzing into the living room ear buds in full view, just taunting her. As you can imagine, the battle ensued.

I had to intervene and collected the iPod. It went to the top of the fridge, which I like to refer to as "the place where toys go to die." But that could be a whole post on it's own.

Shortly after, we were out the door to take care of last few errands before school started. We had to be home before nap so we were hurrying out the door.

After we got home, I got everyone down for their naps. It was quiet. I was thinking maybe a nap myself...then I heard it. The voices.

I walked to each of the kids rooms to listen in, nothing. Went into my room to listen for Derek. Nothing. Checked the TVs, nothing. Opened the windows, NOTHING! I thought for a split second maybe I WAS really going crazy!

Then it dawned on me. Reached to the top of the fridge, and yep...the iPod. It was singing to me, very loudly.

Whew, I am not going crazy....YET!

Have a good week yall!
