Rain finally

Humberto has left us rain in Northern GA. Lord knows we need it. I'm not complaining at all. This was what I was expecting when we moved out here. The rain, in every season. I'm not planning on spending my day sunbathing, not in the Georgia sun, it's closer to the equator. It's great to have lovely lawn, and the ability to play lawn sports with the family.
I do have an issue with the rain. It doesn't affect me as much as I find it an eyesore. Baby mama has a trailer filled with items. It has been there for over a week now. The rains have come, and continue to come for a few more days, this stuff is just getting wet and ugly. Things that were hidden in her backyard are sitting curbside. What are they waiting for? If they are donating it to some charity, then they forgot to call them to pick it up. At this point since they are not coming put it in the trailer and take it away. They have both vehicles in the driveway. I noticed when I went to get the paper the other day and their garage was open, some table was there blocking the opening. At this point I am not sure what to do. Call the city, and check the ordinaces? Have them come out and write a citation? Obviously they will know it's me. Another option is to go over there, and ring the doorbell wait 5-10 mins, while knocking and ringing so the annoyance will make her open the door, and ask her to remove the eyesore. Then the last option is to sit here and do nothing. I am a home owner, I have a vested stake in keeping the area neat and clean, it's my property value at stake. What would you do?

The other day after I had talked to Scarlett, I got a call from Droopy. It seems that Whinis had an unpleasant experience after school with Barney, Fred's younger brother. It seems the two brothers have issues that deed to be dealt with. Another failure of Enabler's that shows her style of parenting. What is a mother to do when an eight year old boy decides to expose his genitalia to your child? Droopy was furious. She called the school up and let them have it. I let her know that the outcome would be similar to what I received with Fred; the boys would be talked to, and the parent/guardian notified. A warning would be given, and that would be it. After that it's up to Barney to correct his behavior. I do believe that since Barney is younger, he would be able to adapted and learn quicker than Fred. Fred has chosen his path.

This morning Stinky had to be at school early. He was to take a science test to qualify for the Science Olympiad. I wish him well. As we were leaving the subdivision, we saw Big Red and his sister Kittykat. Of course we were heading in the same direction, and who wants to take the bus when traveling in a smaller vehicle that will reach it's destination quicker. As the kids were getting settled in the back, I noticed that Fred popped up from some bushes. I'm sure Fred will try to harass Stinky sometime soon because of this.
