Damn you Minneapolis!

The City of Minneapolis has been driving me crazy. The roads are half the size because they plowed the streets 3 feet from the curbs, turning onto a a busy street is a death crapshoot since the snow piles are so high, and the none of the corners have been shoveled out so I have to scale a small hill with a toddler to cross the street.

Today we finally had the dumpster that has been sitting in the yard since August picked up. Somehow, the city managed to schedule tree trimmers to block off our street this afternoon, and at the exact same time the truck arrived to pick the dumpster up, they were trimming the trees directly in front of our house. Also, one of the large branches landed on my truck. Jerks.

Tyler had plowed all the snow from the street to the dumpster so the truck could back up into the yard, which is exactly where the tree cutting crew left all of the huge limbs and branches. Cripes. I had to go out and tell them to move the crap asap. As it happened, they were moving the crap as the truck was pulling up and backing in. So, it all worked out in the end, but got me all worked up in the process. Once again, thank goodness for Yoga, which I have on Thursday nights.




Bye Bye dumpster. See you never.

Tyler and Amelie went to Pizza Luce with the neighbors while I went to the library and got a few books for Ami about potty training. She was doing so good for a while, and now just wants to wear a diaper and pee and poop in her pants. Hopefully these books will help.

I can't wait until the snow melts. And I love yoga.
