I'm Really Not

I'm really not as snobby and bitchy as I sound in my last two posts..... ok maybe a little.

The whole kids screaming thing.... I get it they are just having fun but there is a fine line between screaming while having fun and screaming just to scream...... and those two kids crossed that line a long time ago. They both hit this pitch that I swear will break glass! And it just not for a few minutes, they scream the entire time they are outside and their parents just let them do it. Um, I'm all for letting kids be kids but could they at least have them not scream all the time?

The ball thing... I know it was an accident. Not like the kid did it on purpose. But they saw me sitting in the sunroom, one of them could of at least said they were sorry and offered to get the ball down for me. If they didn't have a ladder they could of used ours. Oldest Son M said he would get it down today after school. And being the nice person I am I will give the ball back..... I'm not one of those cranky neighbors that keeps all the balls, etc. that land in their yard.

Now the grill thing..... I am a snob about that one. I've seen and eaten way to much grilled food that was ruined because it was cooked all wrong. Even Sexy Stud knows who to call when he has a grilled food question. Just last week he was grilling pork chops and called me up to ask how long he should cook them. Maybe my neighbors like overcooked food and who am I to judge them on that, but I'm still going to enjoy the comic relief I get from watching them grill.

Dry As A Bone

My biggest comic relief in the summer time has always been watching my neighbors grill. I thought my laughing days were over with, when the old neighbors moved out and new ones moved in, but I thought wrong.

First I present to you "Burger Smasher Man"

He places 3 burgers on his grill that were about as thin as White Castle burgers. Comes back about 6 minutes later, and proceeds to smash the heck out of them with the back of his spatula. Goes back inside and comes back about 6 minutes later , flips them over and smashes the heck out of them again. Back inside...... 6 minutes later flips them over again ...... smashes them again. He does this pattern of flipping and smashing 2 more times, for a total cooking time of roughly 30 minutes. Even if those thin as White Castle burgers were frozen when he put them on the grill, it would only take roughly 6 minutes to cook them. And for the love of all things juicy don't smash the heck out of them! Your smashing out what little juice they may of had in them in the first place.

Now I present " Dry As A Bone Man"

He places boneless, skinless chicken breasts & hotdogs on his grill. I know this because I heard the kids screaming about what was for dinner. He sits down , gets up about 2 minutes later and flips the chicken. Sits back down, back up, flips chicken, rolls hotdogs. He does this pattern of flipping chicken /roll hotdogs every two minutes for the next 40 minutes. First off buddy... hotdogs are already cooked, all your doing is warming them up on the grill, so they don't need to "cook" for 40 minutes. Next the reason why your chicken kept sticking to the grill is because you kept turning it to soon. Test it first and if it's sticking leave it alone...... it will release when it's ready to be turned. Learn this so I don't have to hear you bitching about it next time. Lastly..... for the love of all things juicy...... they were boneless, skinless chicken breasts...... they should of cook for 10 minutes tops.

And they say men are the "Kings of the Grill"....... lol

Going To Be A Long Summer!

I can already tell that it's going to be a REALLY long summer!

Our new neighbors ( remember the wife that flashed me the why are you talking to my husband look?) are younger then me. Ok I'm not old but I am pushing 40 ( 39 this year) and I'm guessing they are at the most 30. They have two small kids...... the girl is 4 and I think the boy is 2.

When the kids are outside they are ALWAYS screaming. Now I do have five kids so I know what little ones act like when they are outside, but I tried to at least keep the noise down to a dull roar for the neighbors sake.

If the screaming wasn't bad enough, today they had someone over and the teenage boy was playing ball with the kids. Which is fine until he hit the f-ing ball onto the roof of the sunroom. The very sunroom I was trying to relax in. Scared the crap out of me! As the ball rolls down the roof it lands into the gutter and there it stays. The kids tell the Dad and does he do anything about it? Does he even come over here to tell me he will get it? Hell no!

Now I'm stuck with a f-ing ball in my gutter until Sexy Stud gets home, because this woman isn't tall enough to reach the gutter even with a ladder.

That kids is soooooo lucky that he didn't hit and break a window because his ass would be mine right now!

This & That

Sexy Stud went back to the Dr. yesterday..... still has a major infection in both ears. Dr. lanced , drained, and put tubes in both his ears. I'll spare you the details on how that went....... gross doesn't even begin to describe it. But his hearing is much, much better now, which is a really good thing because I got tired of screaming at him.......lol

I've also got great news..... SEXY STUD will be home tomorrow ! He has to rent a car to get home, since the van is still in the shop, but he will be home tomorrow afternoon. Which means I will be MIA for a few days.

In other news I met the new neighbors wife yesterday. I had met him for a few minutes this past weekend. Can someone please explain to me why some women have this need to check out other women like they are some sort of threat to them? Do they lack that much confidence in their relationship that they view every new woman they met as a threat? Or did their man do something to them that makes them judge all women as a threat? Either way Mrs. New Neighbor.... I'm not a threat so back off on the nasty looks.
