Part 1- By Anne

Since the weekend of 9/11, the E.A.R.L. has been a major pain in the ass around here.
It started when they came to paint the side of our house that Friday. (Even though they painted the ENTIRE exterior a year ago).
They were here for the whole day.
Hanging out on the side on our house painting and whatnot while we had our garage sale.
For the most part, they were kind.
Minus the bitching about the helicopters and grass in the rock bed.

They came back the following Tuesday and painted the other end of the house.
This did not affect us at all since we hid out inside ALL DAY!

Then they called so they could paint around the garage and the overhang.
They had planned to do it that Friday.
We planned our garage sale again.
Instead, they came and laid sod on the side of the house since the grass was gone.

Fast forward to Tuesday of this week.

Then my WONDERFUL (sarcasm intended) wife sent me out to get the mail while they were still here.  This is when the bitching began.

“You need to sweep out this garage, the leaves are from last fall and there shouldn’t be any cobwebs in here”  First off Anne had been sweeping for the past couple of weeks for the garage sale and secondly…ITS A GARAGE!!!!!  Leaves and spiders get in!!!!!

“I cleaned the blinds in the garage (these are for the window in the garage that we totally forgot existed) and they were filthy, you should clean them more often”  Again we forgot the window was there. We haven’t touched the blinds in the garage once since we moved in two years ago so she can shove that up her ass!

“Let me show you something, these seeds and grass in the rock bed here needs to be removed, your kids should come out here and pick it all out by hand”  My children have a VERY busy schedule, greatly reducing the amount of time for them to do it, by the time they would have finished, a little here a little there, the leaves would have been falling.

“When your son is mowing the lawn you should be out here watching him.  He is too young to be doing it alone and you could get in trouble because he is under the age of 12″  My son does a mighty fine job of mowing the lawn.  There is no law against having a ten year old mow the lawn.  I wish she would just stop sticking her ass sniffing nose in our f***ing personal business.

Then she goes on and on and on and on about how much time and effort goes into maintaining a house.  Yes it does when you are the EVIL ANAL RETENTIVE LANDLORD WHO DOESN’T KNOW WHEN TO SHUT UP AND DOESN’T REALIZE THAT PAINTING WOOD SIDING EVERY YEAR DOESN’T HELP UNLESS YOU EVENTUALLY STRIP IT AND REPAINT IT.  THE PAINT KEEPS COMING OFF FOR A REASON!!!!!!!!!

So that was the 20 minutes of my life that I will never get back all because Anne had to have the mail right away!!!
