Words are Biting my Ass

Do I like cranking the tunes while alone in the car?  Oh yes.  However I usually don't do it for long.  I never have.  At concerts I was the dork with the ear plugs.  While attending a Sheryl Crow concert she told the audience we could move into the space between the front row and the stage which was great as that meant we were behind the speakers and could hear one another afterwards.  My ears may have been oversensitive then, I know they are now.  The reason I gave for not exposing my ears to loud music for long periods of time was wanting to be able to hear my future children.  Do I love listening to their giggles, first words, and learning how to read?  Very much so.  With all the wonderfulness comes some crap.  Screeching and yelling are killing my ears.   While the noise is horrible and hurts the ears I'm also dealing with some other things that make the noise pretty much unbearable.  With the kiddos having to be dairy free my calcium level has decreased.  I have to take a crap-ton (my fancy medical term for about 3 times the RDA) of calcium every day.  When my calcium level is low most noise, but especially loud noise, is absolutely intolerable.  My youngest is a screecher.  Love the little guy but maybe a big tub of ear plugs would be a good idea while we work through this stage (and for the sibling fights, and for the loud music of the teenage years).
