One thing I will not miss so much about our house is all the mowing. It was fine during school because I could mow while Will was in school, but during the summer it was hard to find time. I didn't like to spend time on Saturday mowing while Jerry was home from PA, but I also didn't like making Will entertain himself for that long while I mowed during the week. I guess if Jerry had been home during the week it would have been easier.
I really had had enough of being at home all week by myself with Will, the house, and the yard to take care of after I got the mower stuck in a hole one day. I knew I shouldn't have tried to mow that close to the spring in our front yard, but I guess I was in a hurry. It was about to rain and we had a house showing that evening so I was distracted and ended up getting the front tire stuck in swampy grass. I thought I could just pull it out but I ended up peeling a big layer of skin off my hand and getting a big dent in my shin. : ( I ended up having to use the Explorer to pull it out - after my hand and leg were injured. And then I still had to get the house cleaned up to show. : ( I was so mad that day!
Later though I saw that witty slogan about fighting the lawn and was glad to have an excuse to make a lame joke. : )

| This was my hand after several days of healing. After the first day it didn't hurt so bad, but when it started healing the itching drove me crazy!! It would even wake me up at night! It's October now - my hand is fine but my leg still has a scar. :( |
