Well, today I mowed the lawn for the 2nd time in my life, but all of it by myself for the 1st time. We haven't had a mower since we bought this house (been borrowing mowers, paying ppl, etc) & my mom said she would buy us one & we could pay her back when we got our taxes next year... Well my grandpa found out she was going to put it on her credit card that she uses for my dad's medication, so he went & bought us a mower! That was so nice. They said not to pay them back, but I am going to. Anyways I mowed the lawn by myself because it was awful. The grass was up to my shins! I have been so embarrassed I had the kids go out Monday and pick up the tall weeds while I did the dishes!
I've been bugging Mark to get/borrow a mower or something, but it hasn't worked out... and I can't afford to keep paying ppl cuz they charge $50 and I could skip mowing for 3 months and be able to buy my own....
Anyhoos I'm just happy we finally got our own mower, now if I can keep Mark from breaking it... (no offence, honey)

Be sure Mark reads the instructions before you let him mow and then you might save problems in the long run!

Congrats on getting a new mower. I know most people probably don't think getting a new mower is such a big deal. But, I'm the opposite. This past mother's day I told Rob that all I wanted was a new push lawn mower. So he got me one!!!! I LOVE it!!!! It's a Troybilt and boy does that baby have POWER!!!!! Andrea

I am glad that you got a mower...My dad finds ones that people throw out and fixes them.....then we use those until they can't be fixed anymore....well he loves fixing stuff.....I just wish that he would invest in getting a new one for a change.....lol

I bet you had a time of it mowing grass that was that high! That was a nice thing your grandpa did and I don't blame you for wanting to pay him back.
