okies....this all starts when we moved to this apartment. there is an apartment above us, one blow us and one sharing a wall beside us. even when there was someone living above us we never had a probelm with them. our neighbors beside us smoke and we can smell it in the hall, but it's not something to be upset about. but those below us....they like to play loud rap/hip hop. not so bad as long as it isn't waking erilyn during her nap.

monday the male of the couple installed a new system in their bedroom. he kept turning it up! so i went and knocked on their door and told them "my daughter is sick and napping, could you turn it down?" her response "well he is setting up a new system" so i asked again for it to be turned down "my daughter is sick and napping please ask him to turn it down i can feel it through all of my floors"

5 minutes later it was no better so i called our apt office. i went by their rules and attempted to solve the problem on a personal level, so now it is there turn. she said she would let them know to turn it down. about 15 min later it got quiet for an hour. remember when i said lyn was sick? she was still sleeping when he started it again! my thoughts "does this man not work?"

so i suffered cause i wasn't able to feel it in my living room anymore, just most of my hall and bedroom. since lyn was still sleeping i let it drop, it wasn't waking her.

along came today! lyn got up at 630 am! very early for her. she went to sleep again before 830. i got to lay down maybe at 930 or so. at 1030 my windows are rattling from their music again. i know my office will tell me to approach them myself. i am tired of being the only person in all the world to tell them to turn it down. so i yell out my window to turn it down, some ppl are trying to sleep. it stopped rattling my windows. but it had already woke erilyn, even before i slammed my window and injured my hand.

so i yelled again a thanks for their curtesy at waking my child.

called nathan at work to complain. he told me to call the office right away anyway as it is obvious they don't care about us or our requests. i called the office and was told to knock on the ppls door and ask for it to be turned down.

i thought better of it. why is there a sub on nathan's comp if we never play loud music? or actually play music loudly? hmmm...at first i thought nofx would do well for this situation, but then i saw one of my bosstones cds. lovely bass in those....guess what for one blissful song i felt my music through my floor! then i turned it down....i can't feel theirs anymore at all. i guess i got my point across!

sorry for it to be so long a post, i just really needed to vent. waking up children is the meanest thing to do to a pregnant woman, and the fact that i have never woken up their child makes it really horrible. so i won, erilyn is watching blues clues without her teeth rattling and i got to hear bosstones at a volume close to that of seeing them in concert, which had been an awsome experience for me, nice to relive!
