Frustrations!

Ok, I know I usually use this blog to keep you all updated on my family, but tonight, I think I will use it to help put my mind at ease and hopefully I can go to sleep.

Toady about 3:30pm my neighbor on the north side of my apartment came and asked me if I was the mother of twins.  I said yes, and she said that the kids kept ponding on the wall and she had ponded back trying to get them to stop as she was trying to sleep.  Now realize that because of my hearing disability I don't hear everything going on in their room.  I have heard a little pounding in the past but I just thought someone was hanging something up.

This neighbor told me that she has complained to the apartment manager about the kids pounding on the wall and the apartment manager told her I had little kids running around.  I kind of get the feeling that the manager feels that since it isn't after the 10pm noise curfew that kids will be kids.  The neighbor was very rude and left before I could say anything back to her.

So I went back and checked on the twins who I feel haven't been sleeping very well today and they were both wide awake, so Dan and I moved their cribs around in their room, which I don't like the new set up since the perfect place for their beds is along the wall that shares's with this neighbor.  Now remember this is the only bedroom wall that shares with a neighbor as we are on an end unit.  Now I have a crib on the opposite wall and one in front of the window, which I can just see Ruth breaking the blinds.  The other set up was a lot better for the use of space, but hopefully with the change she doesn't complain about the kids banging on the wall.  All afternoon and evening I have been trying to figure out what they could have been banging to make the noise and I realized tonight that they have been hitting the wall with their bottles after they were done with it as they try to slide the bottles down the back of the crib to make it hard for mom to get their bottles.

These apartments are actually  very insulted as I don't hear my neighbors very often.  I think we are seriously going to think about trying to buy a house with in the next year as the kids are getting older and need to be able to go outside and play more then I have the ability to let them do right now.

On a brighter note, I was fixing dinner yesterday and Ruth walked from the couch in the living room all the way into the kitchen.  That was the furthest she has ever walked.  She will be walking everywhere soon I can tell.  Irene still likes to walk on her knees or crawl, but I don't think she will be far behind her sister.

Well thanks for listening to me rant!  Now maybe my mind will settle down and go to sleep.
until next time.
