Hi BlueMoon , I found your piece on the random review page and thought I'd give it a look because your title intrigued me. I hope you'll find some of my suggestions useful!

What I liked:
I totally related to Carolyn. Sometimes it's so hard to work when it's noisy!

General things I noticed/specific suggestions:
I think you could italicize the thoughts Carolyn has, to distinguish between those and the narration.
I think the piece could use some more dialogue- even just Carolyn muttering to herself, so it's not just all narration telling you what's going on.
Why is the mom referring to herself in third person?

Spelling/Grammar:
Capitalize "mom" since it's a proper noun.
You're missing a word in "she lay on her rocking out"

Overall, this was a fun piece to read and I enjoyed it. Make sure to check for small typos like missing spaces and words that should be capitalized but aren't. Otherwise, good job and keep writing!

My review has been submitted for consideration in "Good Deeds Get CASH!" .
