The quiet is there.
Oh yes I said it and if your like me, you know where this is heading.
When your a mom, your day is hectic you are running around... Let me rephrase that. When you are a Stay At home mom...
Your literally the kids's snack bitch. You have to put aside the free time you used to enjoy to wait on babies hand and foot.
If you have three kids, quiet time is nonexistent, quiet time means that the children have corrupted one another into breaking things. Drawing on walls, carving holes. They become crafty little magicians and you are left a slave in a home with kids that are hell on wheels.
So when its quiet either they have fallen asleep for a few blissful minutes but to have all three asleep at once is a laugh. it never happens and so the quiet comes at night in the 3 hour stretch that mom closes her eyes finally.
I said no mom blogs and this isn't that, above was a clear example that the phrase "Silence is deadly" has some truth behind it and not in the way that you think. The world is noisy and stays noisy day and night there is no such thing as true silence because even when the hum of machinery or every day appliances cease to make noise. Nature is there to creep its head and the crickets chirp or the wind blows. We have been trained to enjoy the serene sounds of nature because the quiet is not truly quiet just replaced by noises that we are conditioned to ignore.
It's actually quite funny the more you sit and think of the little things all around us, our brains tell our eyes what to look for and what we should be listening for.
I've known people who entertain the notion that, you can not train your brain to respond only to certain things, example Trauma, out of intrigue we connect to traumatic experiences. If someone gets hurt around us we are curious our minds wander. Maybe that's the thing that we can not control. We have an underlying ability to tune out the world and sit in our own man made silence. blankly staring at the wall, not a thought in our minds. Yeah some of you know exactly what I'm talking about cause we do this constantly. Like our own personal bubbles that we chose to lose ourselves in.
The way that our minds work is intriguing so many gears that grind, thoughts that we think. I believe that I am rambling at this point but who cares. Late night thoughts might be the best topic starters.
Not having the time that I do nowadays, three kids leaves you on the brink of falling asleep standing up, so my mind doesn't have time to race or even think about anything besides "What do the kids need", or halfway though the day thinking "You haven't pulled anything out for dinner, you have a three year old to feed" I know I've said it before that the world may often too many times be fast paced even in our sleep, we bust out dreams like they are papers in a copy machine. We often forget that taking a minute to listen to the "silence" can actually benefit our health. Once we stop, sit and breath, the world becomes quiet to us and the calm begins, that moment of peace that we all search for can be found if we gave it a chance to find us in that minute.
Thanks
