The Angry Neighbor Lady

You know, the one who grunched at you when you were young and partying into all hours of the night...the one you hated...

Well, I became her on Saturday night. As you have just read, we had a very long day, and climbed into bed at around 10 pm. The neighbors had a few friends over and were quite loud while outside smoking. I was so exhausted, you would think I would have slept right through them, but at 2:10 am, they were so loud, they woke me up. Our walls are thin and our bedroom, although on the 2nd floor, is by their back patio. Well, a few of them were outside smoking, talking, and laughing VERY loudly. I laid there for about 30 minutes, steaming mad because I was exhausted and couldn't sleep because of them. Finally, I had enough. I raised the window and loudly (because I had to get their attention) said, "Hey! Can y'all be a little quieter; I'm trying to sleep." The obnoxiously loud girl replied, "Oh, we're sorry." I said, "It's okay. {Which it wasn't -because if it was, I wouldn't have said anything.} Thank you." I closed the window and got back into bed. They actually got quieter and I was able to fall back asleep.

Nathan couldn't believe I did it; I couldn't believe they were so loud I had to do it. LOL - I guess I couldn't believe I did it either. At least I gave Nathan some chuckles all day Sunday!
