My kids were out last summer one day in the backyard and the woman was out in hers, mowing the lawn of course. Owen was at the fence saying "Hi, Hi Lady, Hi". Do you know this bitch outright ignored him? IGNORED HIM. She was at the fence pulling weeds RIGHT NEXT to where he was standing and she IGNORED him. What a bitch...seriously. How could you NOT acknowledge my tow headed little boy with the steel blue eyes? That did it for me. They're on my list...you no wanna be on my list, it's a baaaaaaaaad list to be on.
Speaking about lawns.....I hate mowing the lawn. H-A-T-E it. It all started years ago when I was used as slave labor to cut our lawn when I was younger. We had a BIG lawn for a 12 year old to cut. The slave driver also required me to cut it in a different pattern every week. No mulching, no sirree, have to mow two strips and then fight with that damn bag which weighed 25lbs. to dump it in the garbage can all by myself. That's alot of work for a 12 year old. Every week. I swore that I'd NEVER....NEVER cut another lawn as long as I lived when I grew up. So...enter my adulthood and 1st home. I told DH(dear husband) that I do NOT cut lawns so if that was something that he couldn't live with, we'd need to hire a lawn service. He vetoed that idea because he liked cutting the grass and working outside. OK then, it's your baby..forever. This is why it's so hard to get the lawn cut regularly, DH works 6 days on then 3 days off and of those 3 days off, I work all of them. I'd kill for a kid who cuts lawns in this neighborhood to make extra money. Parents need to stop handing out $20's to their kids and make 'em work for their money but alas, that's a gripe for another day.
