I dedicate this blog to Keri Jo. She knows I love her. n_n I write this completely in jest.
HAVING SAID THAT...
I seriously do envy her sometimes. I had just put some dishes into the dishwasher and "Mommy's Little Helper" decided he wanted to pull a couple of dirty spoons out to play with. I told him "No" and put them back. He reached back in there and grabbed at them. I put the lid up, careful to pull his arm out, and told him no. He fought to get the arm BACK in the machine inwhich I grabbed it back out, smacked his hand and told him "No!" With this, he shrieked and screamed. When he quit, he reached his arms out to me for me to hold him. I did and he was fine.
I remember all the times Luke has cried and screamed and shrieked and wailed. Almost everytime, I wished I had a Cochlier Implant. It is a divice that is surgically implanted into a deaf person's Cochlia, the itty bitty shell lookin' thing that has lil' hairs inside that vibrate, then send the message to the brain that you are hearing things (i.e. baby screams). A magnet is placed under the skin above your ear inwhich you attatch a "node" (think the earbud to an ipod). The node is connected to a box about the size of a 90's model walkman tapeplayer.

TOP 6 REASONS WHY IT'S AWESOME TO BE A DEAF MOM!!

can also mean it!
5. You can have a quiet moment any time you choose.
4. When your children are being brats, you can ignore them
completely!
3. Trips through the toystore or even driving by them are lots
easier.
2. The "Why?" Game? What's that?
1. Screaming midget? Take off your hearing aid. Problem
solved.
