Remember how I told you I’d be checking from the conference here to give you reports on all the great things I’m learning?
Yes, well, I lied.
I am so busy with the talking and the learning and the note-taking and the etcetera that I have no room left in my head for a coherent thought.
But I promise, I’ll fill you in first thing next week with some good details.
In the meantime, my I share this utterly heartwarming sound file that my sons e-mailed me to last night? As I sat here in my hotel room, missing my brood and thinking fond thoughts of them, this sweet message gently landed in my in-box and touched my soul:
Rocks In My Dryer 
Ah, the sounds of boys. It is so obvious that they are pining away for you. ; ) Thanks for sharing that heartwarming tribute.
May I just say that your blog is such an encouraging tool in the lives of mothers? It’s so wonderful to have feelings validated and to have wise encouragment from someone who has been there too!
I should’ve been prepared becaues you said your BOYS sent it.
So glad I didn’t have a mouthful of Diet Coke when I clicked!
Ha! 🙂
Too funny!
Love it!
FUNNY!!!!!
You. Are. Blessed.
A sound only a mother would miss.
Can’t wait to glean, next week.
That was funny! My dog, halfway across the room, stopped chewing her bone and cocked her head to the side, as if saying, “What the heck is that?” I played it for her again and she still looked confused! 🙂
Too funny! I’m so glad I have girls… 🙂
After spending the last week with 13 3rd graders and 3 of them boys (seemed like it was 30 boys) I totally ‘get’ this little sound byte! My dd thought it was hilarious!
Long time lurker,
First time commenter….
Love your blog!
Aw, they love you mom! How sweet. Nothing like a whoopie cushion is there?
Reminds me of the burp tape my brother and I made when we were young. One burp, right after another. Good times, and wasn’t that a great display of our maturity?
Hahahahaha!!!! That is hilarious!!!
That’s great! Looking forward to what you have to share from your time in my state-NC. God bless.
Oh my goodness!! How funny they are.. . how blessed are you girl!!!! They sound wonderful and full of life!!
Hysterical. Glad I have girls. Except the slumber party at my house (my daughter and 3 friends) is making similar sounds right now.
…kids.
oh, the sound of love coming from boys!!!
I think I could even recognize their little voices!
Nothing to describe the innermost feelings of boys better than this sound byte! 🙂
Can I just say that you are even SWEETER in person than I imagined? You’re cute as a button with the most darling voice. Sigh.
Thanks for sharing this weekend! Bless you!!
Wish I had been able to go. Can’t wait to read what you’ve gleaned. Aren’t boys just so…delightful? =)
I love the little giggles inbetween the other sounds.
It reminds me that my Bal burped the alphabet for me today. He’s only seven, so I was impressed.
Can’t wait to read your words about this weekend.
Oh my. I can totally imagine that same exact message playing from my inbox. The joys of boys, that is 🙂
I knew…I KNEW…before I even clicked it, that it would be tooty noises.
Silly boys.
Awww… that was darn cute! Silly boys!
I have a couple of clips like this on my ipod that always help me if I’m away for a few days.
It never fails to make me laugh!

That was really cute!
thanks for a GREAT LAUGH!
Do you really miss them?? That is so my house.
I have two nasty boys and I still totally didn’t see that coming. Hysterical!
*sniff*…That was heartwarming…

Hilarious!
Gee, these folks that think only boys make noises like that…my older daughter was quite talented at playing the musical armpit when she was a youngster, and her daughter to this day excels at burping, far better than her brother. Aren’t children fun?
boys will be boys right?!! Nonetheless treasured moments…hilarious!
That’s hilarious! Actually, it’s an endearing sound 🙂 – it’s the best way to make a family smile 🙂

So great to meet you at SheSpeaks! You all three did a wonderful presentation which made for fun and interesting listening. Hope your travels home went well and the flipflops are still holding up. They looked super comfy. Great for heel-weary feet. Take care.
Too funny! It scared my 5 year old when I played it. After realizing it wasn’t me she thought it was pretty funny.
That recording is so sweet! Just the kind of thing a mom loves to hear when she’s away!
So, just saw a pic of you from this weekend (can’t remember which blog it was on, but oh well). I just have to say you look SO cute in it! I love your outfit!!!
That is HILARIOUS!!
