Welcome to Honor Your Truth The “Is It True?” Series Episode Seventy-Four “Silence is Golden” I have those little orange foam earplugs that come with their own handy carrying case. My parents keep their TV on all day, everyday and I can’t think. It’s usually news and I need a brain check. My sister can work like this, but she has 3 kids, and a husband. She claims this as a probable reason. I wouldn’t know, but it seems to make sense. My mom has clocks all over the house that make some kind of noise…..cuckoo clocks, grandfather clocks, clocks that make a different sound on the hour…the bird clock, the holiday clock, the golf clock, the football clock, the choo-choo train and the frog clock to name a few. She puts a towel over the loudest, the cuckoo clock, when we come home. I think it has more to do with all of the kids that can’t seem to keep there hands off the chime chains, rather than the sleep we lose after 3 am. We are “night owls”, up all hours, but we also like to sleep…..in the day. We sleep until we don’t want to, no matter how noisy, no matter the conditions. I must admit I do appreciate the dishtowel system immensely whether it is meant for me or not. I often end up sleeping on the couch in the living room, in close proximity to the cuckoo. When everyone is in town, there are people sleeping everywhere. I have slept underneath the kitchen table in a pinch. I didn’t necessarily plan on it. It just worked out that way. You gotta claim your turf early or you end up on the pull-out or the fold-up. I’m not complaining, but both have a bar or something that jabs you in the rib cage…I actually prefer one of the couches, but you gotta deal with the cuckoo….unless it’s under the dish towel… and then your good. Regardless, grab your pillow and blanket combo ASAP. There are some cozy, normal ones, but most are strange…not quite big enoug...
