Anger. Rising.

Why? Why does everything noisy happen during nap time? I know there is no way to fix it and not everyone plans their day around nap time, but it's so dang frustrating!

I say this because we live in a condo and there are sometimes noisy things going on that I can't control. Usually it is really quiet and we love living here but today i want to go rip someone's leaf blower off of their back! There is a new dog somewhere in the neighborhood that LOVES to bark at all hours .Grrr. The garbage truck woke Felicity up this morning at 6:40 thank you very much-now the lawn guys woke her up in the middle of nap time. Luckily after 10 minutes of letting her cry, she went back to sleep. But I swear they are just making circles around our building with their mowers and blowers and edger thingies. Why can't she be a heavy sleeper like her daddy? Oh wait, then when she grows up she won't hear her own baby cry in the middle of the night. . .

Mark and Kurt must be related. He is such a heavy sleeper too and he also doesn't hear his children in the middle of the night!

I know the feeling. There is nothing worse than interupted nap time! Don't people know about naptime, they should be more quiet!

I hear ya, Kel! My neighbors just got a barking dog this week! And to top off the greatness of this same neighbor- he set of a really loud firework at 9 at night- waking up the baby, too! Firework in CA on July 22nd? Don't know why!! We also have yard people that come with leaf blowers every Thursday right during the afternoon nap block. Gets us every time. Sigh......
