Another Grab BAG

So I have a number of things to rant about:


First of all: You all remember the "big wheels" that Ash rode furiously to the porta potty??? Yea, well absent minded professor left it at the soccer fields 2 Sat. ago. We didn't even notice that it was missing until on Sunday I went to empty out the back of the van to make room for groceries and was like "did you guys leave the Big Wheel"????? "uuHHHH, I guess we did." Well you can imagine just how irate I was esp. after arguing with MR. Professor that we did NOT need to take it because we already have too many things to remember!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


So I contacted the league field manager and he said he didn't see it when he swept the fields! GREAT. So then I have had them email every single parent in the league for any information on it. My guess is that someone was like "they shouldn't have left it"


I will keep you updated on my son's broken heart!!



SECOND: We live in a middle class neighborhood with a home association created eons ago!! Well the Prez's wife called me and said "someone has complained about your yard." I knew what it was about before I even answered. My husband is not a man who is obsessive about his yard. This is what he told me to tell anyone who complained. "You just let them know that I am supporting the local honey farms, just look at all those BEES!!!!"
Here is a picture to get an idea of where our house sits on the street. We are at a junction and we are the first turn when you come in the "hood. Every person in the neighborhood has to see our pitiful yard!! Notice my neighbor's yards. They're perfect!!








Now notice the view they get!! LOVELY!!







So,I checked on the city code for weeds. This is what it says. Basically, in a nut shell, they can't stop you from having weeds, (hello, they can't make you have perfect landscaping) As long as the weeds do not exceed 12 inches!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Are you kidding? 12 inches!! And if you do then they will come out and mow them down and send you the work fee and then if you don't pay that they will add it to your taxes!!

I'm really scared!!

I did break down and spray my yard with weed killer. (plus the H. A. told me to) It still looks like crap!!

THIRD:
My son is in the habit of NOT wanting to go to school. I honestly do not think that it is challenging enough for him. He is bored. It is basically an all girl class with him and one other boy, who hardly talks. But him and him are buds!! He only has like days left! I know he has fun. It is an extremly positive environment, probably better than home!

IF I can trick him to getting in the car and in the building......It is a huge fit when he gets there.

Lately he has had major "anger" issues. Here's a pick of him letting me know that he hated me and wanted to kill me! (o Yea, we had a serious conversation about that!!)

He looks possessed by something! He was probably in a serious need of a NAP!

Well that is all I can rant about now!
