Woman Snowed in with Noisy Man


Someone help me. Please.

I am home from work early due to snow. I think, “Excellent! I will have the entire afternoon to write, blog and catch up on emails. Thank you Jesus!”

And then.

Because my DH works from home, he is also here. And since I mostly write on Saturdays and evenings while he’s gone, I had forgotten how much noise he makes. The heavy stomping down the hall every few seconds. The talking to himself. The jolts of irritating Southern Gospel music sneaking through the walls to choke my creativity.


I think this man could find a way to make noise while folding a towel.




What I’d planned as an afternoon of peaceful writing has devolved into a prayer meeting of one. Me. Asking God to keep me from whapping my DH upside the head, or give me patience to write anyway.


Do you need silence to create? Or do you thrive with a little background noise?
