Jukebox Friday - My daily soundtrack
Apparently, while we were gone on vacation, an entire village relocated to our apartment complex and they all moved into the apartments that share a common area right below our balcony. Some of them have nice quiet kids, but, in all honesty, there are about 4 little boy childrens that are HORRIBLE. This is a CONSTANT occurrence...I did the above video this morning while I was eating breakfast. While I type this, the kids are screaming again. By the time I post this blog, they will have about a dozen more instances of screamage. I have cover letters and resumes to send out, but I can't seem to FOCUS on these very important tasks with the shrieking. It's not just screaming and shrieking either...OH NO. One of their little bikes has a clown horn on it. One of the little horrid boys says "ommma. momma. momma. om. omma. MOMMA. MOMMA. MOMMAAA. MAmAAAAAAAAA" over and over and over and over (until he starts screaming). Then there is the crying. The one kid below us cries an abnormal percentage of the day and it makes me want to call child protection services just to ask some questions. I've babysat kids since I was 12 years old and I have NEVER witnessed children outright SCREAMING as much as these kids.
It is a constant battle to keep my sanity.....and we actually cannot wait for winter.

Wow, I feel for you. MAybe you should give a roll of duct tape to the Mom. She can taope their mouths shut...ha ha..you can tell I don't have kids.
sounds like kids.... In time you can learn to tune it out. If not, there is always the library?? or some other quiet place to do your work?
I have raised 4 little ones, and have 2 little grandchildren, and, after staying at Sfoofie's place, I can attest to the fact that nowhere have I ever heard such shreiking. It is not just kids being kids.
Sad.
If you hurl a few rock down there, maybe get a couple of 'em in the noggin, the rest should scatter.
I like your technique Iwanski. "pelt and scatter" method, right? hee hee
You should totally call Nanny 911 for those people!! :)
