Who said mowing the lawn is boring!!

Friday 25th March 2011

Well it's the end of another week which means our usual open house Saturday (aaarrrrggghhh!!)  I really wish we were in a lower price bracket to make it sell quicker because it's driving me insane!

Anyway my brain explosion for the morning was that I will mow the lawns.  There was good reasons behind this insane decision.  My hubby had a hernia at the moment and the open house is so early in the morning that I didn't want to wait till the last minute, and with the height of the grass at the moment you probably wouldn't have seen the house through it!!

I now have learnt that I should not mow the lawn without first locking up our furry ball of stupidity called Swiper Cinderella!! 

I mowed the front lawns without any dramas or incidents and then I had to go inside the gate!  Straight away she was ready to pounce!!  It doesn't help that I'm super short and she's quite tall which makes the nose up bottom more achievable for her (and unfortunately since she has the attention span of a 1 year old she forgets that she's done it so she repeats it over and over and over again!!).

Anyway after that was over I cleaned the grass of all her crap so I could mow and straight away she laid a path in front of the mower for me to pick it up again.  Then to top off the whole morning I had to run out of petrol and while I was getting more she decided to make a run for it and, in true Swiper fashion, visit every house on the block only to settle at the neighbour's (who also happens to be a police officer) house to visit with George the old golden lab who likes to poo on our front lawn.  Unfortunately she wasn't bright enough to return the favour on their lawn (the only time in her furry life where she's decided to act like a lady!!).

Finally after 20 minutes of drool, running and me swearing I cornered her in the neighbour's front yard and had to carry her home (all 42kgs of her!!).  And of course once she was in the yard I then couldn't get the stupid bloody mower to work!!  Lucky for her I did or otherwise there would've been hell to pay!!  Of course once that was over a bit of retail therapy was in order!  But I have to admit it was definitely an awesome workout with a difference.

All I have to say after today is that if anyone is looking for was a big furry ball of stupidity let me know ;-)
