A new start

I have decided to make a new start at this non talking thing. I decided I have to give up control and let others do it. Okay, my kids aren't making it very easy. They love to ask questions that require more than a yes or no answer. And they love to argue!!!! Today I am taking charge!! I downloaded an app to speak for me. Con and I have tried it out today. Works pretty well but not real loud. They can read it if they need to.

I talk all day at school with frequent breaks but it is not enough. I am putting myself on complete voice rest at night! I saw a friend at karate tonight and used my app - went great. People are understanding and supportive. How lucky i am we have this technology. Here's to using my gadgets to help my health. (hold up imaginary beverage) I knew these gadgets would come in handy.

I also realized at the neighborhood Easter egg hunt that I will no longer be the one to call out events. It is sad to pass on that torch but it must be done.

No more pity parties. I am embracing my new normal at least for a couple of months!!!!
