Thaw before reheating.
{ 2008 03 11 }
It’s after midnight. On a Tuesday night. And I can hear the microphone feedback from across the house. Paul has decided to sleep with Will on the other side of the house. Now I can hear Kate stirring.
I am so, so, so, so, so tired of this bullshit.

Regular dishes on life in New Orleans, historic home renovation, raising kids, completing a PhD, travel near and far, global concerns, and health issues.
You know the story, right? International health... work all over the place... drag my kids around in sacks through villages in Central America... yadda yadda. I decided to go for another degree, so in 2004 we moved to New Orleans with no intention of staying. Then Katrina. And then *blink*blink* New Orleans is a completely different place and we just can't leave. Suddenly I'm on TV talking about immigrants and health and Paul is starting a company. Or two. His side is high-tech, mine is community health and our lives are yearly evacuation, regular celebrations, and nonstop work here, there, and everywhere. Our door is always open. I only ask that if you decide to go ahead and make yourself that mint julep, you make one for me, too.
We strive to make our life our argument.

That is ridiculous! Maybe it’s time for Paul to start working on the addition, preferably with the buzz saw and hammer, around 4 am!

I second Kak…except the wrench in THAT works is that the kids have still gotta sleep.
Perhaps you can isolate the kids’ rooms from the outside sound using tires stuffed with old clothes and embedding those in their walls…

Yes, but if he’s up “making music” for half the night, you need to find out when HE sleeps and hammer away! It’s probably in the a.m., after the kids are up.

I still say you call the police each and every time it happens. You will get tired of calling. They will get tired of responding. But when the police get tired of responding to bullshit, sometimes they take, uh, additional measures to solve the problem. You feel me?
