Baby, I've Been Losing Sleep

I absolutely cannot wait to move into a bigger house! Summer simply cannot come fast enough these days. Besides the obvious desperate need for additional bathrooms (see How to Pee Alone) I am also looking forward to the possibility of a second floor bedroom where I might find a few moments of silence. I really don't care how much James likes the idea of a ranch style... This mom is dying for a little separation courtesy of some stairs and a whole floor between myself and the "common" areas.

In our little rental house the walls are basically paper thin. There is no such thing as privacy or peace and quiet here because you can hear everything anyone says in any room you're in. Sometimes it's handy, but most times it's a pain in the ass. When James and I head to bed, that's our special connection time (hey now, clean out those filthy minds!). We usually lay there cuddling and sharing the details of our very separate days. Sounds a little romantic right? Haha, not when the kid yells through the wall "Hey, I'm trying to sleep you know!" Excuse me for wanting to talk and laugh with my partner. Sheesh!

At the moment, I'm laying in our room. I was trying to read and get caught up today's posts. But as I hear this song for literally the 10th time today, I can't help but get distracted.

Lena acquired this gem a couple days ago and she's been playing it on repeat ever since. It's a shame. I liked the song. Now, I really wish I could drill out my ear drums.

Oh and that's not all either! James is in the living room watching TV. I may or may not have gotten him hooked on The Originials and I may or may not have watched it without him last night since he went to bed earlier than normal. Oops!

Well, since there doesn't seem to be any beating them (or available ear plugs) in tunnel of endless sound, I guess I'll just join them instead.
