I hate to be so negative, but there it is.  This weekend we had EIGHT parties come through our condo.  On Saturday we had three private showings, and on Sunday we had our second Open House.  Needless to say, I do quite a bit of cleaning to have the house ready for our showings.  This task has been complicated by H’s messy eating habits as he drops about a third of his food on the floor at any given meal.  In addition to the relentless cleaning, H is back to hardcore teething and is not sleeping well at all.  Because of the crying, our neighbors are retaliating by slamming doors and absolutely BLASTING music through the walls.  It’s to the point where you can hear it outside in the parking lot with all of the windows closed.  You can hear it in every room of our condo.  And if you videotape H, the music can be heard on the video as if it were actually being played in our unit.  I’ve been stewing pretty much all day today about this, and it’s taking a good deal of self-control to not a) go downstairs and verbally bitch slap them, b) call the cops, and/or 3) call her parents and tell them they’ve raised a spoiled, insolent brat.  

Let’s see if I can end this post positively.  I started back to work this week.  I felt very welcomed back to work and I am excited to have some other things to concentrate on.  I have a lot of enthusiasm for the projects I will be working on and I am eager for them to really get under way.  At the moment I don’t have an office at work, so my reading and writing has to be done from home, which has been challenging given reasons cited in the previous paragraph, in addition to the fact that I don’t have a dedicated work space and have to work on the couch.  

OK…..Holden still can’t sleep b/c of the noise.  And I am about to lose my shit.  So I think I need to contact this girl’s folks….enough is enough….
