I'm having one of those days.........yup, it's a crabby day! Was busy busy all day, and was just in a sour mood. I snapped at the neighbor, and I feel really badly now.
One of the neighbors on our road stops by often, and he could stand and talk for hours..........about the same thing all the time! Unless it's time for supper, then he doesn't have time cause he has to go eat. It's hard sometimes because Dave sometimes gets home so late, and we normally don't get to even eat supper until around 7:00 or so, sometimes later. On the weekends we try to take time off to relax for a bit, otherwise we're always trying to get stuff done around here. When you hear the 4 wheeler coming......you just know it's him.......and sometimes we hide, but he comes right in the yard.
Last week Dave was on vacation. The neighbor stopped by to talk every day until friday, cause we had company for the weekend. Some days he stopped in twice, and he doesn't just pop in and then leave, he'll stay to talk for a half hour or longer if you don't say anything. Friday we got to bed late since we had company. At 6:24 A.M. on Saturday, the phone rang, and it was the neighbor!!! He called just to talk to Dave about something he had going on. Both Dave and I were still sleeping, and he kept Dave on the phone for about 15 min. Even if you say you have to get going, he keeps talking.
Tonight, Dave got home about 7:00 p.m. He hopped in the shower, I was taking laundry off the line........and I heard the 4 wheeler coming! I knew it was him, cause the phone rang, and neither Dave nor I picked up. He just figured cause we didn't answer, we were outside. He came in the yard, and proceeded to talk, and I just kept taking my clothes off the line. Then Dave came out, and they started to talk. I wish Dave had stayed in the house. We hadn't even eaten supper yet. I came in with the clothes, put them away, and then went back out to tell the neighbor that we haven't eaten supper yet, so Dave has to come in. When he left, Dave said he came out to "save me". I told him I was hoping he would have stayed in the house, cause I knew once he came out, we were stuck!
So, now I feel rude for snapping, but I guess it just gets so old! Was I out of line?

! A couple summers ago the county hired a couple private workers to clear shrubs and brush from the side of our road. When the workers took their lunch, the neighbor stopped to talk. Wanting their privacy for lunch, they got in their vehicle hoping he would continue on his way. He actually leaned in the window, with his hand on the door, and just kept talking. Poor guys! Didn't get lunch that day!
