Why is it that upon awakening in the morning, the volume of my darling children's voices has increased 20 times from the previous evening? Could it be a physical condition on my children's part, or on my own?
I feel as if my children are yelling at the top of their lungs for a good 15 minutes every morning until my constant nagging and shushing helps their brain to return to a more normal volume.
Or could it be that I have not acquired enough caffeine consumption early enough in the morning in order for my brain to process the constant chatter, singing, arguing, and what-not from my little darlings?
Until this quandary is solved, I really feel as if their needs to be morning muffs for mommies. Daddies can wear these as well - although our daddy is already long gone before the children arise. These muffs would be soft, easy-to-wear, and almost completely block out the noises of my children until either their brains tune in that they are speaking in abnormally loud tones, or I have consumed enough coffee to handle all of their chittering-and-chattering. That would be sometime close to noon.

Dear Wendy,
Upon reading your post, I just think to myself that by wearing said morning muffs for mommies that your little darlings would only increase their volume to be heard through them. That's what I would do if I were them. Might end up backfiring is what I'm trying to say.
It's not that the kids are trying to make noise to get my attention all of the time. They are just making noise for the hell of it - I think. They are usually talking, singing, and arguing with each other while watching cartoons and/or eating breakfast. But it is just constant noise - and loud too!
They've recharged overnight and have more power to go on in the mornings. You should attach giant hamster wheels to their beds that the have to run on for 20 minutes before their feet can hit the floor.
