Ever Notice You Make the Most Noise When …

Ever notice that you make the most noise WHEN you're trying to be quiet. This morning I woke up and saw my husband sleeping soundly. I knew he had had a rough night and didn't get much sleep. Since he had finally settled down I was going to play the part of the good wife and do my best not to wake him. But there was some stuff in the room though that needed clearing up. It was a simple task. Just pick the items and put them in their proper place. So I picked them up and of course I tried to pick up too much stuff at one time and dropped what I had in my hands making a really loud noise!! I cringed. Then I looked over at my husband and … Papa Bear was still sleeping soundly. Whew! (Our kids like to call us mama bear and papa bear.)

maybe your husband is still tired so he sleeps well, you are a very understanding wife in my opinion

I try to be. He is not in good health. So these days, I bend over backwards.

This is unfortunately true, it's also true that the minimum noise sounds as a loud noise in the silence.

My husband gets up later on Wednesday mornings since he doesn't go to work-out. I'm usually up early anyhow. As I was tiptoeing around the kitchen putting things away, I managed to cause an avalanche of plastic tubs to fall out of a top cabinet. Something like that always seems to happen when I'm particularly trying to be quiet.

If I don't want to wake my husband I do stuff well out of his hearing range but now that he is so deaf I don't have to go far at all.

I have the same problem. The more quiet I try to be the louder I am. Irony is a daily part of my life.
