Tonight we were standing in the back yard, visiting across the fence and James offered to mow our lawn the ENTIRE time Tom is gone for National Guard officer training. I've been more than a little stressed about this whole deal and just today was thinking it was time to move myself out of denial and into the "figure out how to deal with it" stage. And then my dear neighbors blessed me beyond words! Taking care of the lawn and getting out the door on work days have been my 2 biggest stressors in all of this....and now I can check one of those off the list. Thank you James & Amber! The other has been mitigated a little by the fact that my parents will be back in town before Tom leaves, so if all else fails I can pack up kids, makeup, hairdryer etc and run to my parents in the morning! I hope I can manage well enough that we don't have to resort to that (at least not too many times), but it is nice to know we'll have that option. :)

A.M.A.Z.I.N.G.
My neighbors are seriously AMAZING and they're making me think twice about this grand plan of selling our house! They're great friends, their daughters are great babysitters and they tolerate the fact that we let the lawn (and weeds) grow way to tall. They don't seem to mind the children occasionally screaming their heads off in the back yard, if they've heard me screaming my head off at my wild crazy beasts children they certainly don't admit it and they even welcome Miss Makenzie when she invites herself over to their house (every time she sees them outside). We seriously couldn't ask for better neighbors!
