is anyone else bugged by kids? I raised 2 and I KNOW kids squeal and scream and love to talk loud when outside, and make a mess...I KNOW this! it doesnt seem to help me when we take my peaceful quiet winter neighbor hood and dump a bunch of kids into it. Several new families have moved in on the other block, and they have been using the right of way behind my house to get to THIS street to play! The road is level, well paved, fancy houses, dirt off the side of the road and a few old left over buildings to climb thru since the old campground that used to be here shut down. so, several have set up the old dining hall as their club house, others are using the old pump house.

To get here they are using bikes, trikes, scooters, skateboards, and are SCREAMING at each other. Sometimes its screaming like "HEY JIMMY! WE ARE OVER HERE! GO TO THE END OF THE DIRT ROAD (my back yard) AND GO RIGHT! THEN LISTEN FOR THE SOUNDS OF OUR VOICES!" Other times its "IM TELLING MOM WAAAAAHHH!!!! YOU WAIT TILL I GET HOME DADDY IS GONNA BUST YOUR BUTT (insert bad word). Then you hear screaming all the way back to her home.

Next we have the drunken campground folks. We have some teenager from the campground that have decided that this street is AWESOME! level, straight, and clean. Dead end cul-de-sac means a great turn around! SWEET! So, they are using it as a rampway for bikes, boards, skates, and so on.

Im not even bringing up the druken adults that wander thru here arguing with each other about what a horrible trip its been this year, and each Fing year you manage to screw it up! LOUDLY! drunks have no volume control. The camp ground is about 3 miles thru the woods. Sometimes they steal one of the golf carts that are not allowed off the dirt path and run up and down the nice paved road with it.

The children next door 3 are hers 3 are his and she has 2 that come on weekends and he has 2 that come on weekends along with the cousins are making me want to pluck my ears off! That little girl SQUEEEEALL! OMG its ear peircing! She screams for happy things, sad things, scary things, silly things, just squeals from 7am till 11pm.

They are just kids. I know what its like to get out and have fun, and be happy and playful but OMG I am ready to get outside with a fire house and start knocking um down like bowling pins. I want to keep my windows open on my peaceful beautiful street. its wonderful on this street. its so pretty and I cant enjoy it. Between the dog walkers that let their dogs OFF leash and pooping everywhere, and the mcdonalds bags. (its 30 minutes away! you wait till NOW to dump your garbage?) and the loud talking walkers at 5am and waking up to see the late talking campground folks have stolen rose bushes while I slept. I NEED OUT OF THIS PLACE! HOw can a place so peaceful, calm and serene be so LOUD!

I am hyper sensitive to noise, and sights lately and I swear I think I am getting a tic. Im as nervous as a long tailed cat in a room full of rockers. I gotta get out of here! I dont want to baby sit your children when you throw them out for the day. I dont want to pick up after your dog or your teenager. I dont care if you and hubby had a fight. SHUT UP! I just want to stick my head out the window and keep screaming SHUT UP! JUST SHUT UP! GO HOME AND DO THIS STUFF. LEAVE US IN PEACE!
