now i understand why my husband does not like living in apartments...we're lucky he settled on a nice duplex, were lucky however and our landlords very nice, full time working son lives next door...so we occasionally hear the bass of his surround sound at bedtime...but other than that...he mows the lawn.

our other neighbors however, they have two children that are out, all day, and make a significant amount of trash mess...they're nice, non english speaking children, and play well with my daughters...but they're a mess...as mia muttered out the other day coming home that "their mom is a lazy ass, that doesn't clean their house"...(i wonder where eight year olds pick this up from) she was in their house and apparantly it doesn't smell to good, and then preceded to ask me why their house stinks.

yeah, mia has been getting into trouble at school for using words like ass and telling kids their going to hell...*shrugs* we don't use those words.
