I know it sounds stupid or a bit snoby but hey I'm proud I did it! What did I do you may ask? I mowed my lawn. All by myself! The oddity of it is that I have never in my life used a lawn mower. That means any kind of lawn mower. I was always to short to use our sit down mower, I know, I know. Funny right. It was an older one without the adjustable seat so when I'd try to start it; I'd stall it by having to sit up and the seat would come up and stall it.
The rules of the house were normally that the boys did the outside work and the girls generally did the inside house cleaning and laundry.
Well yesterday I decided to mow my lawn. It needed it badly and I wanted my son to play in the backyard, not a half grown jungle! I did all my lawn, front, sides and backyard! It took a bit to figure out just how to start the darn mower but I figured it out! And to my amazment it was easy! I got a bit of a sunburn but it was worth it! The odd sense of acomplishment that came with finishing was great! Who needs a man to do it! lol.
