Talked to your newly Canadian cousin and then best friend (while loosing your voice) so long that come bed time you physically could not read a story to your children (and it was a really good story too... I read it after they went to bed...It's The Princess & the Pea by the same woman who writes the Charile & Lola books...I love those books)because you became so lightheaded you feared you may pass out forcing your 6 year old to dial 911 because the only other phone number she knows is her own, which leads you to think you may need to make her a photograph phone book with pictures of relatives that live close by so she can call them in case of an emergency instead of summoning the EMT, then realizing if the phone were to ring at that moment you couldn't even answer it so you set your answering machine to two rings and whisper an out going message that says, "Hi. You've reached FarmBoy and FarmWife. I've lost my voice so I'm not answering the phone right now. Leave a message," and settled in to watch the latest episode of the Hills and What Not to Wear?
Yeah, I knew I was the only one.
BTW, does anyone have a whistle I can borrow to blow at my children to get their attention until I get my voice back? Or a big box of bean bags I can throw at them while I'm nursing so I can get their attention and not rouse the drowsy (finally!!) baby? Maybe a Nurf gun...just brain storming here.
