November 2007 - there is a lot of music in our home. Xander is upstairs in his room, composing Drum & Base riffs. Schuyler is in his room, running his fingers through is mohawk whilst he blasts punk rock out of two tiny computer speakers. Lila is playing piano downstairs, Tula and Sweety are barking at the door, and Manny is cursing in the kitchen because someone forgot to put the milk back in the fridge. Mama is taking a 5 minute breather in between piano lessons, only to be interrupted by calls on the home phone and her cell.

 And this is all going on at the same time! Can you say "cacophany" ?
