The begins of mindless muttering

It starts with reading a friends blog and thinking that I can do this too!  It's not like I don't have all the time in the world.  I only work full time at one job, resource at another job, homeschool 2 highschool boys and somewhere in there I'm supposed to clean the house!   So why is it mindless muttering?  I've always been accused of muttering and now I have a son who does the same thing....I say it's actually a speech impediment...what do my non-existant readers think?  I realize no one is reading this and I may never write another lick...but I am enjoying procrastinating in cleaning!  I really think today that I have a new appreciation for muttering....because people can't understand what you're saying about them when you make a smart remark!  My son, on the other hand, has really overcome his muttering quite well.  Perhaps it is a side effect of having Aspergers and talking outloud to himself....maybe I should do that more often!  For years I have made him repeat clearly what he was saying.....something I need to do myself.   Funny thing about talking to himself outloud though.  I sent the boys outside today to throw in a 1/2 cord of wood into the basement.  My son was outside talking very loudly....I thought he was arguing or yelling at the other son so I yanked open the slider and yelled "quit fighting!".   My younger said says very calmly, "we're not arguing, he's just talking to himself.".  "Oh!" I replied, "Sorry!".  and quietly shut the slider.......how was I supposed to know?  I guess that means I need to back off and let them deal with their own issues....they are old enough now!  And now that I have finished my mindless muttering to myself...the only reader....I will go back to "cleaning"! (and perhaps I can somehow talk to myself loud enough that I can her myself over the electric guitar in the living room....Nope, it's not the teenagers, it's my husband!
