Were the kids a little too loud??
Hmmm...I think my kids might be annoying my neighbor. It's been warm lately and the kids have been happily making a rukus in the back yard on the trampoline. I love that thing! DQ and flapjack spend hours on it bouncing, laughing, shrieking...ya know...being kids. (And, ya know, being OUT OF MY HAIR) Okay, I did let them swim last night...at 8:30 pm (remember I'm a cool mom) and they might have been a little excited and a little loud. I only let them swim for 15 minutes. Then this morning it was nice and cool and it's SATURDAY so I let them go outside to jump on the trampoline about 8:00 am. Hey, it could've been earlier...they were up at 6:00 am.
So this afternoon when we get back from the volleyball game here's what my very sad kids see...a hole burned through the trampoline...and the cigarette butt that burned the hole...that had been flicked over the fence by the neighbors next door. I was all for going over there and giving them a piece of my mind. DQ was all for calling 911...in her mind this was an emergency!! The dad intervened. He just said from now on...we'd be taking pictures of all the illegal crap that goes on next door and giving copies to his cop friend that he shares an office with.
So neighbors...you are on notice...we put up with your assortment of strange pets...including the giant tortoise that lived next to the fence and scared the crap out of me. We've said nothing about the numerous late night, very short visits to your home (drug deal anyone?). We've been polite when your yard looked like crap and your dogs barked all night. But you are now messing with my kids and MY QUIET TIME. This is war people.

About Me
I'm a wife, a mom, an educator and a normal (okay, relative term here) person who makes frequent mistakes. I have a lot to say, hence the blog. My kids were adopted as babies (one through an agency and one through the foster care system). I love to talk about adoption. My daughter has sensory issues as well as ADHD. I like to vent about parenting. I am occasionally rosy, usually blunt and sometimes I am simply downright rude. Don't read if it offends you. I may sometimes write about my school experiences so let me cover my bases. I don't live in your town, I don't work at your school, I am not talking about your child, you don't know me. If you think you've figured out who I am...ask me, I will lie and say you don't know me. email me at chocolatecoffeesleep@hotmail.com
