Communication breakdown

I have been coming across topic of communication in many areas of my life as of late.

Presently, my wife is traveling outside the country. She is 15 hours ahead of where I am at. She is without a cell phone, and on top of that her access to the Internet for e-mail is sporadic and when she can access it it’s as fast as maple syrup in January. This is the longest period of time I have been out of communication with my wife since we first started dating some 15 years ago. Just the simple fact that we are not in communication as often as we usually are has caused me to reflect upon how well I communicate with her. I certainly know she has an opinion on this topic, ha ha, but we’ll leave that out of here for now.

With my wife being out of the country it leaves me in charge of our three boys. Communicating with three little boys who are all headed off in their own direction is not only a challenge, it’s plain crazy making. I’m thinking of sending my oldest boy to the doctor to have them inspect the amount of wax buildup there is in his ears. I find myself repeating something five to six times and only then upon raising my voice do I get any sort of acknowledgment from him. Now this could be the parental gods handing me a little payback for my years of ignoring my own parents, but I’m not quite sure. I could not have been that deaf towards my parents. Then again, maybe I was and I just am not aware of it.

I’ll have more to say about communication again soon. Still thinking about some things.
