Bat ears and garage bands

I know it's 9:30 on a Sat night, but I went to bed at 1am last night, woke up at 3am and had a little feud with DH, worked from 9am to 3pm, and then sang for Easter Vigil from 5pm to 7:15pm. Also, I feel like a bubble of air waiting to pop. So, the only thing I want to do right now is sleep. All my windows are closed, but I can STILL hear the guy on the next street over playing his stupid drums!!!

Doesn't he know I'm pregnant, vexed, and exhausted?! But really, this has been going on for months. Aren't there mothers in the neighborhood who have babies to get in bed? Why hasn't someone complained? I would go do it if I knew who's darn house it was!

Please tell me someone else has been having neighbor grief. I guess the only solution are ear plugs...

  • I've had bat ears lately too. Cept it isn't a band playing, it's my DH on his computer all night. He woke me up at 3 am because he was crying with laughter over something he was reading. I couldn't go back to sleep for over 2 hours. I think I'll let him s

  • I feel your pain. I live in Brooklyn. Williamsburg Brooklyn. Which is the hipster capital of the world. Everyone has a freaking band and it doesn't matter what day of the week it is they will jam all hours of the night. In my old age (31 hehe) I have lear
  • Thanks, guys. : I needed a commiseration party. I feel better about it today, but last night the hormonal rage was hitting in spades. After the baby is born, it'll be another matter, I'm sure.

  • We used to have to call the cops on our neighbor. They would throw parties all the time and they would get out of control. After talking with a few of our other neighbors we found out most of them had called too. We all celebrated with they moved away. <b
