An air purifier?....or the mosquito zapper from hell?

I spent the last (CRACK) 5 days at my little (SNAP) sisters house. (CLACK) We were staying (SNAP) with her (CLICK CLACK) while Dave looked for a job (CRACK) and we looked for our new house.

Let me tell (CLACK) you a little about her (SNAP) house. It's approximately 900 (CRACK) square feet. It has 2 bedrooms and (CRACK SNAP) 1 bathroom. For three of those (CLACK) days there were 8 people in this little house. My sister and her husband, my (SNAP) mom, my husband, our three kids and me.

My sister (CLACK) and her husband don't have kids yet, so there was nothing (SNAP) for my kids to play with but things like shoes (SNAP), pillows, blankets, my cell phone, and toilet paper. So really, (CRACK) they were adequately entertained. I, on the other hand, was not.

If you've ever (SNAP) been cooped up with 2 rambunctious toddlers and an infant in (CLACK) 900 square feet with NO toys and (CRACK) no where to escape to, then you might have an idea of the insanity that I was dealing with. Not to mention (CRACK) my sister has hard wood floors all through (SNAP) her house. My kids were rounding corners at top (SNAP) speeds and crashing into (CRACK) everything and giving me (CLACK) all sorts of heart attacks!

And then there (CRACK CRACK) was this mysterious noise that happened randomly (but often) all day and all night. You know those poppers that kids (SNAP) throw on the ground on the Fourth (CLACK) of July? That's what it sounded like. It would pop (CRACK) and everyone would look at the vent it was coming from. It was (SNAP) capable of stopping conversations (CRACK) in their tracks. It was, (CLACK) in a word, annoying.

Supposedly (CRACK) it's an air purifier. My sisters swears she doesn't hear it any more...but I have my (SNAP) doubts. You think this (CLACK) entry is bad? Try listening to it for 5 (CRACK) days straight!

But in brighter news. Dave got a second interview! I keep waiting for something to mess everything up. It's too all been too easy!
