A New Family-Oh No

I got home last night and was too tired to do much of anything.

While I was out of town a new family moved into the front duplex. Logistically speaking, my computer/office is in the back bedroom and the only thing between me and the the patio of the house in front is a brick wall. So I literally hear every footstep in their backyard. And it sounds like the new family has a lot of kids who have spent the entire day screaming in the backyard. I sure hope some of them are school age because I'm not going to be able to work with all that noise.

Last night they were hammering on the wall opposite my bedroom until late in the night...like maybe 2 AM. Why are people so inconsiderate?

The last family had chihuahuas that barked around the clock. I was hoping to get a nice quiet elderly couple with fish.

A Big Surprise to go with the Big Five-O

Even if I wasn't in enough of a tailspin over turning fifty on Jan 3, I just found out I'm going to be a Grandmother! How about that? I'm just over the moon. And just recently my boyfriend's mom gave me a whole bunch of unfinished crocheted baby projects. I was just going to use the yarn for something else but now I may actually finish some of them for the new baby. Both of my daughters were hoping to get pregnant this year. We'll see if the older one catches up now.
