Because of a lack of sleep that we've had recently. I'm not sure if people are trying to prepare us for when the baby arrives, but this is what happened last week:
Wednesday night (actually Thursday morning - 2am) - we're awoken to an engine racing and a loud screeching sound outside of our bedroom window. Our next door neighbors (who are away and left their 19 year old son home alone) have 20 kids standing around watching a motorcycle spinning his rear tire IN MY DRIVEWAY!!! By the time I pull on a robe and go out there, they've all taken off and my neighbor is standing there with a hangdog look on his face. My other next door neighbor comes over in support and we look at the 3 foot burn mark on my concrete. Needless to say, there was strong language (from me) and abject apologies (from him) and I didn't get back to sleep until 4am.
Thursday evening - we go to bed around 9:30. At 10:30, there's another engine roaring, followed by a loud metallic bang - Lisa and I jump out of bed and grab the video camera (thinking the same thing was happening again.) Turns out it was a neighbour from a couple doors down racing into the next door's driveway, then getting out and shouting at him for the previous night! I got it on video - it's kind of funny, in a scary psycho sort of way. He was swearing at them at a soprano pitch and threatening violence if that sort of thing happens again. While I felt bad for my neighbor, I also kind of supported the screaming idiot.
Friday evening (actually, Saturday morning) - the next door neighbors friends leave quietly, except for the idiot that didn't realize that his trailer hitch on his truck would hit the road when he backed out of their driveway. So another loud metallic bang that woke me up - but at least I got back to sleep fairly quickly.
Sunday morning - due to the time change, the school a block away has its alarm going off every hour. It's JUST loud enough to wake us up and keep us up.
Needless to say, I'm kind of glad that the work-week has begun. I'm scheduling some naps onto my calendar!
Some pics to follow when I feel like downloading them....

Big hug, higgy...
But it is good practice ...(trying to think of an upside to a horrible story)
I could have sworn I had posted a comment earlier today. Where did it go?!?!
I started to re-post it...but looked at it again and it was dumb.
Oh well. Just as well.
