Who would have thought that being silent could be so hard? I started losing my voice Saturday and by Sunday it was gone. My voice would come out as a squeal or a little squeak, which Tom found funny at first, but then I kept getting in trouble for attempting to talk. Trying to manage your family with no voice is not easy. Tom said my voice needed rest so that I could get it back, but it seems so impossible. How do you not talk when I have three very busy children that love to talk and ask questions and need some punishing every once in a while? When I did have to talk, because someone has asked me a question, it was so hard to get my voice out that it became exhausting and I would wear myself out. I tried to take Tom's advice and ignore the kids the best hat I could and stuck my nose in a book over the weekend. I read The Host, by Stephenie Meyer, which was a great book and I recommend you get this book if you are looking for some good reading. I have really enjoyed reading all of her books. Here it is Monday and I am still squeaking, so maybe I need to pick up a new book and wait it out. Hopefully this gets better soon.

Hope you get feeling better soon. That is no fun loosing your voice but I would take any good excuse to pick up a good book. I was wondering about The Host and if it was any good. I'll have to pick it up.Get feeling better soon.
I read that on Sunday and I loved it too!! I am so liking her books, and can't wait for more.
I hope your voice has come back. You poor thing that is just horrible. Hope the kids are behaving. We Love and miss you guys!
