the sad sound of silence

I spent the better part of the morning annoyed with my siblings for being so loud. I only wanted silence I tried to find a quiet place in our house to do school, I settled for the bathroom where I sat on the floor reading.

I spent the later part of the afternoon realizes that silence is a sad sound. Apart from dad I was the only one home, and I wish my siblings were here making noise after all.

I am glad I have siblings

AWwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww! Maria, what a sweet post. I agree wholeheartedly; without noise, life would be silent. I mean...without siblings, life would be sad. Or something like that. :) I'm glad you're my sister. Last night was so much fun. Who knew letter-sorting could cause such an explosion! (and so much laughter. I am so surprised Mom and Dad didn't wake up) I love you! Thank you for teaching me guitar!!!

oh yes.
i totally know what you mean...(down to sitting on the bathroom floor doing school to get away :P...i remember when i couldn't wait till Em and Luke were gone at college so I wouldn't be hearing the guitar 24/7 and i wouldn't be waking up in the morning to Em getting ready for school or at night when she got off work. then with ethan, i would get annoyed with his constant questions and getting in the wayness that he had a knack for...then, Em and Luke were out of the house and it was just Ethan and i and i realized how much i love my siblings and how i wouldn't trade them for anything. life would be very sad with brothers and sisters. DEARIE!!! WE OFFICIALLY TALKED ON THE PHONE!!!! we should celebrate this momentous occasion....(did that make any sense? it sounded right, but who knows with the state that my brain's in at the moment...) okay, this is forever long. good night. :)

I agree, silence can be such a sad sound.

I'm glad you are able to appreciate the noises of your family! :)

Hope you're doing well!

I miss you terribly. I wish you could visit any weekend you wanted. I can't wait to be back in Australia...but it is such a blessing to be here. I love you!

And I miss the sound of my siblings...
