Yesterday

So yesterday I forgot to post. 

Part of that was exhaustion brought on a very thorough house cleaning. 

And the rest was putting a third mower in a week. And then mowing the back yard. 

I was out getting some cleaning supplies and found an electric mower for even less than the mower I bought and returned in less than 15 hours. Score! 

The picture above is a pic I found online. It's not exact but it is close. Mine is yellow but I wasn't going back out to snap a photo. 

I even gave the gas I had just bought to the next door neighbor. A mitzvah! 

I did the back yard first to get my feet wet. It is so awesome having no pull cord! 

Beyond Frustrated

If I could afford a thousand dollar lawn mower I guess I wouldn't have these problems. But I cannot. But just because I buy a lower end model... it should work at least ONCE out of the damn box.

But as you can see, the pull cord is hanging all the way out.

Because it will pull but it won't start and it won't rewind. It has gas and oil and I just bought it this afternoon. 

Because the old one.. that was just fixed..

Only worked once after I got the carbeurator or however the hell it is spelled, fixed.

Even paid extra to put a filter on it so that it wouldn't clog with dirt again.

HA!

 I am seriously, SERIOUSLY considering synthetic turf in.

Saw it on HGTV the other day and oh my goodness it looked awesome. And it didn't have to be mowed. 

Since I moved into this house when my beloved mother died, I have had nothing but problems with lawn mowers.

I am so sick and damn tired of it.

 I was looking forward to mowing the yard today.

 Now I just wanna set fire to it.

 Maybe I'll pull it all up and throw down a weed liner and put pavers and rocks down and get rid of all the  damn grass.

 Can we tell I am far and beyond frustrated?
