As bad as my neighbors are about taking advantage of us with M, their neighbor on the other side are even worse.  They are two of the trashiest, miost classless and tasteless people I have ever met.  It's bad enough that they try to blind the neighborhood with so much tacky crap on their front.  Seriously, I am all for decorating, but instead of planting flowers like normal people do, they plant plastic flowers.  For Easter, they make a 5 foot shaker cross and put it on their front lawn.  Not my taste, but I could over look that except that the wind always knocks it down, so their shaker 5 foot cross spends most of the spring on the ground.  I am not Christian and that even offends me, the token town Jew.  At Chrsitmas I swear, there were more Christmas decoroations out than in all of Walmart, there were still some fall sunflowers out, there were 4th of July wind chimes and then some.

These people have fought back and forth with M's family since they moved in.  Luckily I have stayed out the of the rador and am merely a spectator.  They have even called the police on each other.


So yesterday M's mom calls me to tell me that this wacko neighbor called.  She was inviting M's mom to her wedding shower!  Oh, I never did tell you that tthe really classless neigborts been together for years and have a 7 year old daugher.  The man started taking up with the chick while he was still married and she was 16 and in high school.  Then she got preggo.  So the fact that wacko lady invited M'm mom to her shower is really funny, not to mention having a shower after all this time... what can she possibley need??!!

After chatting with M's mom for awhile, she asked if something happened between M and Sam.  Nothing did, so I told her that.  She said that M thought that maybe Sam was mad cause we haven't been letting her in as much especially when she comes around at 7 in the morning.  WHAT DO YOU SAY TO THAT?????


Diplomat I am, not wanting to cause waves cause we have to live next door to these people, I answered, "Sometimes I just can't get to the door cause I am busy with the kids and sometimes we just do not hear."


But what I wanted to say was, "Are you so thick that you haven't figured out that it is completley inappropriate to be sending your kid to my house 7 days a freaking week!!"  I find it appalling that instead of explaining boundries to their kid, they let her feel badly.


And lately we have not been letting M in as much.  She is a VERY high maintainance kid (to quote a friend...) and she gets my household a little nutty sometimes.  I may be a nut, but the overall tone of our house is calm and mellow.  And sometimes, I just want time with my kids - me and them.

To boot, M had strep throat this week, so I wasn't letting her in until she had been on the antiboitics for at  least 48 hours.  It just baffles me!  And because she said something, I can no longer lie to myself that the mom just wasn't unaware of how much time M spends here.  HOW FREAKING RUDE!!!!!!!!!!

I feel like I can't even open my window curtains cause then they will know I am home and I get invaded.  Isn't that just crap?

Thank Heavens the rest of my neighbors are REALLY nice, are private and understand about personal space.  Yes, I may sound like a bitch, but I'm not... well ok, I am but I'm a cool bitch not a STUPID BITCH (To quote another friend O'mine!)
