Today is the first weekday I haven't had to get up at or before 6am almost all school-year, I'm not a teacher, that's just when we as a family get up
(actually, *today* is the last day of school...
but the school isn't taking attendance
AND the kids who do go will all be herded together in the cafeteria because the principal gave teachers who attended graduation on Sunday today's day off in exchange *so*
almost NO teachers will be in the building *and*
the administration will be trying to corral the entire student body in one room that is too small so
DD said she didn't want to go today
because the last time there was an all-school academic pep rally,
everyone was in the gym -a place bigger than the cafeteria plus all the teachers were present -
the school security officer, a policeman, was attacked by one student while arresting another student
but being the rule-following dolts we are we actually filled-out a pre-arranged absence form before we knew about the no-taking attendance...)
*Anyway*, that's another rant
. My neighbors next-door are now, today, *finally* having shingles put on their (new $30,000+, field-stone dressed columns) porch (that has taken several weeks to build).
Oh joy. Hammers at 6:30. Yay.
DH went over and told them they had to stop until 7(noise ordinance).
So they stopped.
And then (as is their right - yeah, I know), started up again at 7, hammering away.
No jury of my peers would convict me.
agnes!

with his leaf blower. He blows off his driveway almost every day, and some days twice a day. Let me tell you...I don't want to hear that droning sound at ANY time of day. But a few Saturdays ago, he did it at 6:30 a.m. Last week, he was doing it at 9pm. If we call the cops, I am sure he will be done before they arrive. We are new to the neighborhood, so we really don't want to complain to him. Are we the only neighbor that hears this?
