and she has to be up early and work in the morning. You think I can keep it quiet around here?!?


My dog was barking at something out the living room window, that I cannot see, of course, because it is dark (really dark in the country)!

My daughter has her "bouncy" friend over and keeping it to a dull roar with those two is a challenge, especially after fast food and sugary snacks!

Those darn baby kittens are only a little over a week old and they already have large lungs and mew loudly!

The bedroom door squeaks when opened or closed. You think there is any WD-40 to be found?!?

Uncle is fast asleep on the couch (not yet snoring like he is right next to me, but give it time) and the tv is up loud, of course, as he usually has it.

To add to the fray, whenever the noise level does rise, Aunt's dog in the bedroom with her starts to bark!


Geez, it is so HARD to keep the peace!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And there go the kittens again...ugh.
