Issues?
September 19, 2007 | Jojo,Those Pesky Kids
My dreams as of late have been quite…um, what’s the word, angry? Yes. I believe some unresolved issues remain regarding my displeasure at the behavior of my next door neighbor’s kids. Just last week, I awoke and immediately guiltily thought “oh shit, did I really yank back on the 8 year old boy’s shirt and hiss ‘if you touch my son again, I will kill you?’”
Whew, no. Just a dream.
And yesterday? His six year old sister made an appearance during the night. She also received a face-to-face verbal threat, passionately punctuated through clenched teeth.
Are they mean to Jojo? No. If they do irritate or hurt him, it’s completely unintentional, by accident & I know they do like him. My annoyance mainly stems from their behavior towards other kids in the neighborhood and their parents and their general disrespect for property lines (mainly, the line separating my yard from theirs…and my Japanese maple…GET OFF MY JAPANESE MAPLE). Ahem. Excuse me.
I think maybe this topic should be addressed at my next therapy appointment.

Remember how I went all temper tantrum over my Entertainment Weekly Fall TV Preview edition? Well, I’m still really bitter, but thought I could make due with a TV Guide. The TV Guide, my high school summer vacation bff. Oh no, idiot me bought the “Returning Favorites” edition which speaks NOTHING of new shoes. NOTHING. IDIOT!
Why do I even need a guide when I could just hop on over to TV Goddess and check out her picks? Good idea. And oh, while you’re over there, wish DeAnn a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Random Jojo pictures…because I care:
What happens when the road crew works in front of our house.
What happens in Walnut Grove stays in Walnut Grove.

What we did this morning– went for a hayride, picked apples & ate cider donuts…Jojo ate the entire apple, core & all. But he’s ok. I promise.

I love seeing the shirt in action. It’s perfect.
(What does Mr. Squirrel think of it? Does he hate it?!)
I love the toys all lined up.
Also, you need to start having the dirty pregnancy dreams I always heard of but never had.

He ate the core? Yikes. He’s hardcore. (pun intended)
Sounds like a fun day.

My husband ever so sweetly told our neighbor girl tonite the following: “You can’t come in our yard any more and play with Laramie (our dog). You let him get too rough and he doesn’t understand when to stop. Why don’t you go home now?”
She turned and walked back to her house. Then looked back at me and smiled and waved “Byeeeee Stephanie” not even phased.
I may have to get a shockn collar for her to keep her our of our yard.

I love the lineup of the trucks on the window ledge. I find things like that at my house sometimes, and it’s so stinking cute.

Jojo and his trucks are just too cute for words.
