Worst night in a long time....

It's a good thing I have this little man to wake up to and make me happy...

Last night was the first night in a long time that Nathan slept through the WHOLE night without needing mommy! Unfortunately that didn't mean a good night of sleep for me:(
I went to bed around 10:45pm after trying to create a starting line up for next weeks game. I was tired so I crashed pretty hard...at 11:30pm I wake up to some rumbling, like an old pick up truck driving around upstairs. Not a pick up truck though, it was my upstairs neighbor doing laundry! I WAS PISSED! This is not the first time she has done this and I'm losing my patience. Not only did she do laundry, but she vacuumed as well. Seriously, for as much rent as we pay, we should not hear so much through the walls. So annoying.
So I finally fall back to sleep around midnight. 2:30am I wake up to a mans voice outside. Talking on a cell phone? Seriously, so I lay there for a few minutes and then hear him walk up the stairs to the upstairs neighbors (not the laundry lady). For TWELVE MINUTES he knocks on the door. Starting out softly but gradually getting louder. Who is this guy? Is he a stalker? Should I be concerned and call the cops? Then it literally sounds like he busts down the door! Holy crap...I jump out of bed, look out the window, our door peep hole, and listen. Cass gets up and I tell him how long I've been listening. I don't hear much noise for a few minutes and then the guy comes back down the stairs...so we get up to see who this man is. It's a cop! What the heck? He's standing in the middle of our parking lot shining his flash light around looking important. I'm thinking the worst of the worst is happening (of course, I'm paranoid). I make Cass check and make sure all our doors are locked. A few more minutes pass and then an ambulance pulls up. Ok, someone is sick or hurt...I'm feeling better because there appears to be no crime scene:) The bright amublance lights shine right into our bedroom windows and about eight men go piling up the stairs...right next to Nathans bedroom, so how he doesn't wake up is beside me?! Pretty quickly after they go up, they all come down. The upstairs lady WALKS down with them, climbs herself into the back of the ambulance and they take her away. NICE! It is now 3:30am and I am wide awake. I think about my volleyball lineup and finally fall back to sleep.
6:20am...garbage man pulls up and bangs the big old dumpster into his big old truck. I'M TIRED! I can't fall back to sleep and Nathan wakes up at 7:15am.

Needless to say, this is why coffee is my drug of choice!
