this is your life

They "I don't really know who "they are) are re-paving our road.    The pavement was not new when we moved in about 5 and a half years ago and has only gotten worse.   We leave near an industrial park (are you jealous?) and we have 18 wheelers and other trucks up and down the street 6 days a week.   The road was barely paved anymore.   We were overjoyed to see that our road was being torn up.

Until this morning. 

At 6:00.  IN THE MORNING.

The trucks are quiet on Saturday and Sunday mornings,  and there is no traffic from the offices within the industrial parks.  I guess I can understand why they felt it was a good time to pave,  but holy god.   There are three different condo complexes on our street.    From my best estimate I would say there are probably 450 units on this street.   Let's just assume there is an average of 2 people per unit (one of the complexes is comprised of townhouses and there are a lot of families in them),  which brings us to 900 people trying to sleep on a Saturday morning.

At SIX AM!

My girl is now glued to our window staring - they have finished grinding up the road and flattening it down.  It's the beginning stages of pouring the new pavement, and there are 4 18 wheeler dump trucks parked outside our window doing god knows what.   It's a toddler's dream,  but not Mama's.   Mama wanted to sleep.
