Chaos

This weekend I figured out why it is important that I don't come home more often. I can't get any work done. Trying to get homework done right now is physically impossible. I don’t know how people that live at home and go school do it. My house is to loud to even think straight. You would think a 87 year old grandpa is watching TV, that is how loud it is. I can hear the TV blaring through my closed bedroom door. My mom is yelling from upstairs in the laundry room to my brother who is downstairs to go to bed. You can't even hear her over the sound of the dryer going and the slamming of the washing machine it closes, never mind with the TV on. My little brother Jack, who's 10, is on the couch yelling back to my mom that he can stay up because everyone else is up. They aren't even on the same level of the house, yet they are having a full blown conversation. 

My little sister Sunny is so needy. Literally every sentence that comes out of her mouth starts with, "I need..." She just took out the ironing board, in the middle of the upstairs hallway, and decided to iron her shirt for tomorrow. She must of forgot that 1. I am in my room trying to study, and 2. the ironing board squeaks every time someone moves it. Like my mom and brother, she is yelling downstairs to my sisters boyfriend about her project that he is helping her with. Billy, who has been dating my sister for over a year, is running through my downstairs playing with Teddy, our dog. You would think there is a 4 year old child running downstairs, but no, it's just Billy. 

In addition to that noise, my brother Alex, who wrestles, is wrestling my sister Tori to the ground. He took her down with a slide-bye, his signature move. Tori is on the ground with Alex on top of her. I know this is not normal, but for a "wrestling family" like mine this is an everyday occurrence  My dad is at a meeting, but if he was home he would be yelling at Tori telling her how to escape. 

Through this chaos I'm trying to study for my religion vocab quiz. I told my mom to, "shut everyone up," but she just laughed at me. My mom knows that there is nothing she can do about the noise and she knows that someway or another I will find a way to be prepared for my test. I can’t imagine what it would be like if I had to deal with this everyday, I don't know how I made it through high school with such good grades. Having lived on my own for three months, I forgot how annoying it was to live in such chaos. Don't get me wrong, when I don't have stuff to get done, I'd be right with my family being loud and obnoxious, but being that I am a tad bit stressed out, I can't deal with this. I love my family, but this is one thing I don’t miss right now. I need to be back at school, in an environment that is made for studying. My house is way to fun to get any work done.
