Usually when there is a knock at my door, I ignore it. I'm not big on answering my door while I am home just the kids and I. Though I always peek to see who it is. It was the Mr. TruGreen lawn guy. I see his truck at our neighbors home weekly and think 'oh to have a luxury like someone else doing my lawn (other than my strapping hubby) and make it look immaculate and golf course like'. Then I think, wait a minute; 1 - we rent. doesn't mean we can't make it look nice, but pouring that much money into a rental seems a bit unrealistic. 2 - I'd rather buy groceries, or oh yeah, GAS for my mom mobile! So I decided to be nice and talk to the man. I opened my door and chatted with him, walking out the driveway to look around at the side lawn with him. We had a nice little chat and for a mere $35 he is willing to do a 'lawn treatment' though I'm still not sure what that entails. As I walk back to my front door noticing some hideous cobwebs I run my fingers through my incredibly short hair... and there I discover it. A hot pink flower clip of Emma's. I had pulled the front of my hair back while doing some craftiness while the kids nap - and oh yes, it was still there. In all it's fuchsia glory with one big fat bling in the center. I wonder if Mr. TruGreen thought I was a crazy? Or maybe a close to thirty something mom trying to be 12? Well whatever it was, it was a bit embarrasing, so much so I had to call Andrea and tell her. So that's my tale of Mr. Trugreen 'n' Me.
I couldn't resist showing you how lovely I looked...

I LOVE that your new do! Actually I think that you were looking pretty cute with your pink flower in your hair... the lawn guy probably thought you were a hottie! (you are!) Have a great day girl!
