Oh, I think I could write a novel about this week, but I'll stick with the most recent annoying thing. Today, I purchased a Gamecube memory card so that I can play Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for the first time in years. After the kiddo and I got back from Aiken, I had the memory card in my hand as I climbed out of the truck and...I have no idea what happened to the card after that. I have retraced my steps outside several times, searched through the turck twice, emptied my purse twice, and overall have nearly driven myself crazy searching for it. What's worse is that I had to travel to two different stores to find one, and it was the last one they had.
Also, the neighbor's kids left their scooter in my yard. I have no idea why it's there, so I moved it out of my yard to the neutral spot between both our yards and I'm hoping they'll come and get it. It's kind of frustrating because I'm rather protective of my yard and don't like people coming near my house without me knowing about it. (Doesn't help that I have a mild phobia about home invasion/strangers lurking outside.) That and I don't want to have to look to see if kids are out if I let my dogs out to use the bathroom. Sasha is still a bit too rambunctious with her play, and I don't want her to accidentally hurt someone in my yard. Penny is incredibly nervous around strangers, and loud noises scare her, so kids shouting around her will send her running and make her anxious, which in turn makes me feel so bad for her and guilty. It'll be better once I get an estimate on a fence and get one built, but I still don't want people I don't know in my yard. Yes, even young kids. Look, I love my kid, but that doesn't mean I have to be fond of everyone else's kids. :p
