My husband has a crazy schedule. I have a crazy schedule. If only we could coordinate our crazy…
Many nights after the kids are asleep, one of us is ready to watch a 2 hour + movie, while the other is having a hard time keeping his/her eyes open past 9:30PM. When his eyes are closed and mine are wide open, I like to crawl into bed and tune in to the show I missed earlier in the week, a movie that I’ve seen before but love, or the Daily Show – Jon Stewart is my news source. But how to enjoy the quiet dialog without waking Sleeping Beauty, also know as my DH, or the children when the cars explode or the asteroid is dangerously close to earth (yes, I love Armageddon and will watch it every time it is on)? Wireless headphones to the rescue.
I know this is not exactly late-breaking news that wireless headphones exist. I just don’t know how I lived without them. We have a pair with cushions that don’t hurt my ears and an adjustable volume control. That way I can truly drown out Sleeping Beauty’s snores and still hear Frank tell Denise that he wants her to move back in with him (Army Wives) or Don tell Peggy “it will shock you” how easily she will forget having a baby out of wedlock and ending up in the mental hospital (Mad Men). Sweet dreams.
