So…..

April 14th, 2009 / posted by Lindsey

Well, first of all it’s 1210 am and I am currently waiting on the fridge to get cold enough so I can go to the grocery store! Yes…you are not crazy it is a little weird!
So, you got the end of the story. Now I will share the story it’s entirety for a few reasons….as i said i have to wait, I am really bored and YES Jake’s posts are usually witty, funny and make you giggle out loud to yourself, yet this last one was just lacking flavor. So since he is dead asleep I thought I should attempt to humor you.
Well, back to the real reason I am here NOW. It all started yesterday, a great day at church, but church ended at 12 and then we drove home to see the side gate opened. My first thought…weird, I don’t remember leaving the gate open. Second thought…who is that man coming out of our back yard, we don’t have a pool, so it’s not the pool man…humm I am still thinking, who is it. Oh it did take a few seconds for me to process my thoughts, but it was the neighbor. For those of you sitting back thinking to yourself whats the big deal about the neighbor in your yard here is a little background we have lived on this small court of three homes for about six months and there just happens to be yes a crazy old man and his wife that live right outside of the court. Their backyard just happens to end in our front yard. And when I say crazy, I mean “postal” so yes crazy! Well, we have not had many or any actual encounters with this man nor his wife or that we know of…..hummm. We have heard all of the legendary stories from the kid next door. They are for lack of better words creepers, they like to spend quality time in all the neighbors backyards doing who knows what at what hours of the day…or night! Well, now that you are totally off in space wondering where I am going with all of this. I should get to the point. So now that we are in our driveway in the car and we figure out who this guy is coming out of our back yard with our pink cup. Jake gets out of the car and asks him what he is doing on our property. He calmly explained our cat is hungry he was just giving him food and water….okay that was so nice of him to notice that I have two kids and a husband that I take care of, he thought oh I guess I should go help out Lindsey today and feed her cats for her….well, being that he is a total whack job i don’t think this was the case! Jake was fuming by now because he was refusing to leave. I then decided hey, I have my cell phone in my hand I guess I could call 911. He continued to tell us that our cat was hungry so that gave him the right to hang out in our back yard while we were at church. Then he started to go off on jake that he could do what he wanted we are only renters…hahahah(for those of you that don’t know, we live in one of Jake’s parents rental homes) Jake was yelling so loud at him to leave that the neighbors brought out their lawn chairs and Easter eggs to take part in the festivities! Oh just in case you are wondering i do feed my cat he is just always so hungry….could it be all the pot the crazy couple smoke in their backyard gives him the munchies? Well, while all of this nonsense is taking place Tyler decided that he was thirsty and by the time he got the chair to the fridge he must have forgotten why he was there and started to play with the buttons that control the temperature. I noticed that he was playing with it but I wasn’t going to attempt to fix it myself. I asked Jake to take a look at it to make sure that he didn’t mess it up or anything and….what brings this story all together is that it didn’t get fixed and now we have spoiled milk that the kids drank before bed. They have upset tummy’s. So I am waiting……
