Six-word Saturday

Children's birthday party. Oh, my head! ;)

 

My kids were invited to a birthday party today, so I'll be spending the afternoon with them at a play center filled with nothing but bounce houses. I know the kids will have a lot of fun running around and making noise. I'll have fun, too—as long as I remember to bring the Tylenol!

 

 

Wishing you all a fun-filled Saturday!

Dissonance

Today's 100 words:

 

Outside my window, birds chirp and traffic roars, and I still find it strange that the two aren't mutually exclusive, as they were when I lived out of town, away from the noises of the city--the sirens, the pulsing beat of rock music blaring from car stereos, the sudden cacophony of car horns, the screech of brakes--all of those sounds that make up a life lived close to others: neighbors only feet away, listening through their open windows to the sounds that come through my open windows, always knowing everything although they may never say a word.
