I am really upset
I have to say that I hate not having "neighbors". I live around a lot of people and I actually "know" quite a few of them. Nobody talks, I mean, really talks to each other. We make peace offerings of tomatos and smiles, polite waves and an elusive hello every once and again. But we do not have neighbors. So, what brought all this on is someone complained about our van, the one we need to get rid of, being parked on the road for too long. My daughter came in and said that there was a "parking ticket" on it. I went out and read that it said we had to move the vehicle or it would be impounded. I eventually got hold of the police and there is an ordanance that if a vehicle isn't moved every 24 hours it is considered abandoned. So, somebody complained that my car sitting on my street where I have lived for 4 years bothered them. I think that stinks. I talked real loud to the kids while I was doing some car rearranging to get it off the street. I sure hope they heard me and saw how rediculous we both were acting over a damn car. You know, I would, just once, like for a neighbor to come over and tell me what they want. Well, that has happened twice, and that was nice. I am a very nice person, and unless they are asking me to kill one of my kids, I think I can accomodate their request. Modern day living just sucks.

Here is my blog. It is the thoughts and feelings of an "aging," homeschooling housewife who serves at a local restaurant. I am an average everyday normal kind of person, although my "normalness" becomes less so in today's society. Read on and enjoy or just realize you may not be the only one.
