Happier things...

Last year I posted about my yard transformation and the stages. Mike (loudboy), bless his heart, re-vamped my front yard and this year I am loving it! It's so fun to have something that looks good- it's much easier to be motivated to take care of it. No more front yard grass sprouting wheat! I had to show some pictures and tell Mike once again, THANK YOU! It has been so much fun. By the way, this is how nice Mike is... my neighbor/friend whom I bragged to about Mikes help last year, called him this year and now he is helping her re-do her front yard. Is that the coolest or what?

Bullies Stink.

Sorry in advance for all who read this. I am going to VENT. We have a family in our lives that are serious manipulative bullies. It effects my whole family because they have a daughter Jessie's age and son in between Teylor and Kobe's age. It effects Jessie the most, so that's why it is so hard for me to handle. They live right around the corner and our lives are so intertwined that it is impossible to get away from them. I have definitely been the instigator in the relationship. I got too close to the mom/wife as a friend, thinking it would be a rewarding friendship and it has become a nightmare.

There are SO many details, that I couldn't possibly share them all, but I'm losing my mind. I think the only way to get away from the problem is to have a knock-down, drag-out fight where I will get CREAMED. Or, just learn how to deal. So anyone out there reading this pathetic call for help, please give me any and all advice you can muster.

How's your day going?
