Stupid COUNTRY LIFE

[Saleswman]

What about living 50 ft from your neighbor......and come home yesterday of her taking pics of the house.......hubby asks nicely what she is doing....and she replies........"we were just concerned that you were going to leave the boxes in the driveway!!!!", so we were taking pics to use to complain....(we are in a rental till we decide to stay here permanently)....OMG.....am I livid!!!!

Well, we had spent all day Sunday cleaning the garage....yes...we use it for storage instead of the car.......so I finally got Hubby to take the boxes to storage and ORGANIZE! So here we are......not bothering anyone...kids stay inside...to young to drive or play loud music......and this NEIGHBOR has the nerve to complain about boxes that were being put into a Uhaul truck to take to storage.....or to the Goodwill.......

Talk about P---ed......oh, the wrath of Shirley has come alive........Miss Nice Gal......well, she is long gone........

So, be grateful you dont have any nosey neighbors.....all you have to worry about is the "moooooooooing"......LOL

I grew up in WVa hills and could not wait to leave there for the city life. people actually living close enough to just holler and talk , stores close enough for a walk, baby sitters, action, etc. I said "when i get married there will be no beans, taters and corn bread served on my table!"
well guess what ........I miss that life. nothing more relaxing than sitting on the porch swing and listening to the birds.

I'd love to live in the contry, unfortunately, I have to live in the city until hubby retires(probably 20 more years), then we can start thinking about buying some land out in the country and have as many dogs, cats and all kinds of animals. It will be nice not to worry about deed resticitions and homeowners associations.

We have really enjoyed living in the country and here in the mountains. I wish I could say that I find time to get bored, but for me there isn't enough time in a day to do all the things I would like to get done in and about our place. My days are long cause I try to get in more than I guess I should. Looking back over the years raising our family, I loved going to all the kids sports activities, and we spent many of our anniversaries at the school band concert, as all three were in school bands. I wouldn't trade those times for anything, and the kids have so many good times to remember with their Dad and I. Hope you will get to like it better there, sorry but I can't relate to how you are feeling, wish there was something I could say to help you but don't know of anything. However, I do like what JeanieK said in her post here. I am reminded every day watching my husband struggle with the ability to be able to move, suffering from Parkinsons and I am loosing him to this horrible disease, its the hardest thing in the world. Life can be so fragile, be kind to yourself and try to think of ways to make it better there for your self and your family. Patti

I'm SO SORRY about your husband ! I know just what you're going thru and it's such a helpless feeling - ...Sometimes I just look at my husband and remember what he was before he became so sick - and I get even more depressed......It's just heartbreaking to see them go from a vital active person to a caraciture of their former selves.

Hugs to you - I'm here if you need to talk.

and Sherry - If I catch you wearing Tennis Shoes and a print cotton dress I'm coming to the country and taking pictures. I can just see it now - Sherry wearing a low cut gingham dress - showing off those bad boys

LOl.. WELLLLLLLLLLLL Sometimes I do show the bad boys but then you should SEE the looks I get out in public . I mainly try and conform because my teenage daughter gets EMBARASSED

SIGHHHHHHHHh I guess if I was always soccermom then I would not feel a loss...problem is... I was NEVER soccermom material. Nothing AGAINST anybody but I just don't see how somebody can live a whole life with nothing more exciting then mowing lawns and watching kids play sports and making beds etc. etc. etc. I know some of you guys live for it .. but it just isn't me

Oh WOW! This is exactly where my husband and I want to live!!!!!!! When we both finally get out of school (if that ever happens ), we will both work in Chattanooga, but we want to live on Lookout Mountain. We LOVE it there! Do you know the Miller's?? Mickey and I think his wife's name is Denise (I just call her Mrs. Miller ) and we are friends with their son, Jay. They have a ranch on the top of Lookout Mountain (on the GA side). They are dear friends of ours and we visit them all the time.

BY THE WAY.....WHAT CLUBS. WE have church picnics And V you have NEVER seen so many women in print long dresses and tennis shoes in your LIFE here

You should see where I grew up at. The mountains of Southwest VA coal mining country. All of my uncles, grandfather, and father retired from the mines. Talk about the boonies. Where I went to school it was K-12. I went to the same school with the same kids for 13 years. Almost half of the staff and students were related to me whether first cousins or farther down the line. My graduating class had a little over 30 kids and it was one of the bigger classes, not a red light in sight, we did have a couple of stores so if we had to have gas or a few essentials before we got back out to the store. You know what though I didn't mind it, it's what you get use to and it was the only thing I ever knew.

Needless to say I was into sports, Basketball, softball, some cheerleading and some track. Basketball was my favorite.

Just hang in there who knows you may find something that you really enjoy and make some great friends that you can hang out with in the process.

Sorry for rambling.

Anybody else a City girl transplanted to country and HATING IT

BY the way...Love it for the kids but I'm going to fizzle out and die in this life

You may have said this but where in MD are you? I think I have the best of both worlds I live in between DC and Baltimore but it's the suburbs. As a matter of fact my Dad has 8 acres here and can leave his house and be in downtown DC in 15 minutes. Maybe you should consider moving over this way if you can. We live in Laurel, MD it's great

What part of WV did you grow up in. I'm orginially from Southwest VA. Heck we just had beans, taters and corn bread and fresh corn and tomatoes over the weekend. I do miss the peace and quiet from time to time. We are planning on eventually moving closer to VA. Not sure when that will be. Someday's it can't come fast enough.

[StewiesMom]

I am too fast for the country. I wouldn't be able to do it.

I love that song! Now, when I hear it I'm going to think of you!

I love having the option to do something all the time. There are times when I want to relax, but I hate being bored with nothing to do.
