See, he is a little over 4 and one half feet tall. Large goat, big baby. He has got to the habit of literally stepping over the fence.<BR/><BR/>As long as I see him and give a stern call, he comes back without trying.<BR/><BR/>Wish the girls (and the wife) at times would do the same :)birdzillahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06457723862958219121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18688033.post-23507198159924419462008-03-24T13:29:00.000-05:002008-03-24T13:29:00.000-05:00I seem to be better this afternoon.

Not quite as much cracking and I can speak above a whisper, but I still sound like a man. :(<BR/><BR/>I love how most of us maintain control around our house with our voices. Guess there are a lot of things about motherhood (and even wifehood) that are universal. But the hubby would agree with Sassy's family. He's sorry he missed most of the days of me not talking. :)<BR/><BR/>AngelAngelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17010424240956906870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18688033.post-12622106367612996962008-03-24T10:23:00.000-05:002008-03-24T10:23:00.000-05:00You better believe it.

If I couldn't yell at him, he'd really misbehave. And since he's a one-cat wrecking ball, a lot of stuff would get broken.<BR/><BR/>And then there's the hubby. He lives here with me, but I swear he doesn't know where anything is (or how it works). It'd be a pain to have to show him everything. :)Lynn Raye Harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05823590040842807378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18688033.post-3241926295673656052008-03-24T08:03:00.000-05:002008-03-24T08:03:00.000-05:00Well, seeing as how I'm famous for being bossy in ...Well, seeing as how I'm famous for being bossy in my quarter of the universe, I'd miss bossing. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18688033.post-36340398763631107552008-03-24T07:52:00.000-05:002008-03-24T07:52:00.000-05:00If I lost my voice for a week, I'd have to stay in...If I lost my voice for a week, I'd have to stay in the house.

I had to wear a sign around my neck at work (Hallmark) that said "Welcome to Hallmark, my name is Andrea and I have largentitis. How can I help you?" Then of course, my super conservative government teacher used that opportunity to goad me about women's place in the home and all that to watch me blow my top and start yelling with no sound coming out. I got back at him by signing him up for a men on men love catalog list. Only fair. :)<BR/><BR/>What would I miss saying...? Hmm... I'd probably miss talking to my animals. DB can figure out what I'm saying, but they'd just run around crazy and not go outside like I would normally tell them to.Andrea Laurence AKA Smarty Pantshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13518751514879244662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18688033.post-58583188553167025362008-03-24T07:36:00.000-05:002008-03-24T07:36:00.000-05:00I think the thing I would miss the most saying it ...I think the thing I would miss the most saying it "I love you" to my husband and family.Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16622568563103625283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18688033.post-8264932689306823942008-03-24T01:37:00.000-05:002008-03-24T01:37:00.000-05:00I lost my voice this week too.

The hubby had to tell the ride operator how many we were and the kids had to order food. They were all laughing that I couldn't yell at them.
