Moral of the story, don't have neighbour
Good point, ha! I have this fantasy where I get one of those old broken down Victorian houses in the middle of the Florida nowhere, surrounded by palmettos and ideally a little spring, and I won't even care that I will have a few million mosquitos as my neighbors.
Funny how you are talking about her like she was a member of your family
Hmm, interesting. Now that you say that, I see it. Maybe unconsciously I do feel kinship toward her. Probably because I too am a stay-at-home mom, although I homeschool my kids, so my situation is quite different from hers. Maybe there is a part of me that is invested, or just extra disgusted given our similarities.
Yep, I like a good bad character too, when it doesn't knock on my door. Unfortunately this one does. Although I've taken to letting my dogs answer for me. They don't care for her, and they are so much better at getting the point across than I am, and they can even do it without needing to open the door :)
