[QUOTE="dreamer, post: 172151, member: 1697"] whew! YAY! Last nite did not go on anywhere near like the nite before. LOL- I myself do not mind so much. I LOVE fireworks. I domind haveing to clean it up- becuz my energy is limited etc.... What makes it such a huge problem is that my husband has combat PPTSD and the sights and sounds of the fireworks triggers him to disassociate and become psychotic, transforms him back to active combat in Nam. His physical health creates problems with many medications.....we tuck him in our basement and turn all our house lights on inside and keep all the TVs on very loud to try to block the fireworks from affecting him. And easy child is brand new preg...and was in ER last week for severe dehydration becuz she is haveing severe 24-7 morning sickness and cannot keep anything down, even with zofran on board, and has a hard time sleeping becuz she wakes to throw up, too......and she had finally fallen asleep- but, the fireworks woke her and she could not go back to sleep. My issue with home fireworks is just I worry about the danger, such as burns etc.....and the possible property damage...(only scorch marks on my patio and cars thankfully) but I was quite upset how long it went with me worrying over husband and easy child and haveing to use my energy to do such long involved clean up. Could not pinpoint whose I had to clean up cuz it was just all around everywhere all nite long on Fri-Sat. I am very very grateful last nite was nowhere near like the nite before. And next year? LOL- hopefully my only concern will once again be tucking husband into his coccoon in basement, which is not a problem at all, LOL. I wont even mind if it wakes baby, cuz thats not all so awful.....just easy child is very ill right now. and I am nervous about her health and the baby. [/QUOTE]
