Daily gripes

No new leaf blower for Mother's Day.
Not yet anyway...  forever optimistic!

Yard still looks like shit.  Probably does not help that I let our family pet add to that mess....

Today's bitch from yours truely:

Fariweathered friends.

Some people collect thimbles or dolls.  I seem to have a knack for collecting fairweather friends.  Despite this imperfection of mine I have decided that I will sever ties with the users who simply call when they need my help with something.
I refuse to be taken advantage of anymore.  I am making a pact to myself that I will strictly surround myself with those who encourage and inspire me!
To accomplish this feat I am well aware that I will be incredibly lonely at times and that I will also lose part of my husband's entertainment throughout the week.  He loves nothing more than to come home after a stressful day of work to listen to my fairweathered friend gossip and laugh at what I have gotten myself into... (read: Who took advantage of me that day).
...
Sorry - was interrupted by a phone call.  A good one.  A fellow neurotic housemom who I adore because she never calls me for favors.  We just talk to amuse each other.  It works.

Anyway -
Four emails just came in that need my attention and I need to get some of this mundane work done.
