New Neighbors ~ Good or Bad you decide!

About a week ago I came home from my Trip to Arizona to find I had new neighbors who moved in up stairs. It seems that there is NO insulation between the 2 floors bad news. One would think that you would hear some walking but definitely not what I am about to say....I now have heard the man upstairs PEE ~ yes you heard me right and blow his nose twice the other morning. So I went to work telling this story and someone said at least it's only a man and not a small child. Well, I came home Friday and sat down on my couch to hear small foot steps RUNNING across the floor not once but back and forth. I could not take it and went upstairs to see a lady and a small child in the living room since they have not put up blinds yet. I knock on the door and tell them that I live downstairs and that there is NO insulation between the floors and I can hear everything. I also asked if they could turn on the fan in the bathrooms when they are in there as I can hear everything thinking if I tell them this it will be a big enough hint and that I can even hear him blow his nose. The lady stated that her and the little girl are only there on the weekends and the man is only there a couple of nights a week as they live in Spokane, Washington but he works at CWC.
OK ~ to be honest the first thing that came to my mind when she said they were only there on the weekends was great I am home all day on the weekends and like to relax with very little noise and this can not be good! Was I right?
Apparently, they can not sell their house but I would think it would be cheaper if he drove home each night or went home on the weekends!!!! If he went home on the weekends I would be happy and not want to shoot myself!
Apparently, my visit was not a big enough hint as to the noise level! Saturday it was cold outside and like each morning for the last week I was woken up at 6am. Ok it's Saturday and I think I might be able to go back to sleep but NO! Little feet running back and forth for hours or dropping of the toys and then running!! I can deal with the adult feet since the steps are wider and sometimes not as loud and Adults will finally sit down but little feet do not! So today comes which is Sunday and again up at 6am and little feet back and forth. Remember it's Sunday and not even 10:30am and they decide to vacuum on the hardwood and I would of thought she was in my house vacuuming! At that point I have lost it and gone outside on my porch in 50 degree weather trying to get a glimpse of piece and quite! Finally, around 10:30am they go to the park as I was outside and heard them leave! Yes I am venting because I have not had a good nights sleep in days! I have to get all of my sleep or I am a bear or what others would say a Bitch! The one thing that sticks out in my mind is when I knocked on the door the woman said of we are going to be really good tenants. Well, I don't think we are on a good roll! The property management company will be hearing from me tomorrow! I will end on the kicker ~ As I stated above the man works at CWC. He works with the wife of someone who works in the same department as I do. I am trying to be nice but when all your hear every 15 minutes for hours is BANG, BANG, BANG of footsteps, dropped toys, and ect.

Oh did I leave out when the girls next door had someone live above them one of the girls heard a small child cry over her room and then in the other room she heard the parents and I will leave the rest to your imagination.
