Good Neighbors!

I was so upset in the blog entry, Some Neighbors, that I forgot to tell you all about my Great Neighbors.  My next door neighbor is AWESOME!!!  Is there a word better than AWESOME?  Then he would be it!  I can not think of a better word right now.  If I need anything like an egg or help, he is always there for me & the kids.  You never know with us when Shawn is at work if I need help especially with 2 boys with asthma.  This neighbor has a riding lawn mover & he mows our lawn-Front & Back.  I wish I could bring him along when we move & put him into the house next door.  =)

For the past 2 years, Noah was going to Ash's Elementary school, which was not in our town.  It was about 20-25 minutes away.  Since Ash's program was moved, Noah is now in our Elementary school.  I have started meeting some of the neighbors that walk their kids down the road to the bus stop.  We have been here for 12 years, but in the last 3 years, I have not meet any of the new ones that moved in.

I have met a few mothers at the bus stops & I learned a few things from these mothers.
1. We will look after all of the kids.
2. Don't mess with our kids.
3. They will not back you up.

I still have a good friend on our road.  She is 4 up on the opposite side of us.  I am really going to miss my 1 friend down the road.  I can walk to her house right now to visit her.  It has been like this for years.  I am going to miss this a lot.  I told Noah he can come with me to visit his friends when I visit my friend & I will also be dropping off Ethan's clothes that he has grown off to our Awesome next door neighbor for his grandson.  I love how I can give his clothes he grew out of to someone I know.  I am planning to have a birthday party for Noah & invite his friends from here.  I also want to do a movie night for his friends when we are unpacked.  Well, not all unpacked.  

I know as moms we do our best.  We do everything we can.  There are times I can not do everything due to my back, but I still do it.  I am barely able to pack boxes most days.  Today I did too much & look where I am---> I am on the couch & on my laptop, which Shawn brought me for my birthday.  He got me this one: Click here.  I got the blue one.  I love my laptop.  There are times where I can not sit at the desktop for very long.  I take breaks then I can do some things.  It is a routine for me.

Until next time,
Melissa
