It's no secret that I'm not Cleveland's biggest fan. Am I grateful to be here? Yes. Am I grateful for the education that Dale is getting? Absolutely. Am I ready to get the H out of here? Definitely! In an effort to not complain daily about my Cleveland woes- I have decided to allow myself ONE rant a month. That gives me 12 complaints. It may sound like a lot... it's not. I could literally go on for days. I understand that there are those of you out there that are in love with the buckeye state. Good for you. I have no intention of trying to change your mind- just like you won't change mine. So spare me the rah rah Cleveland comments! :) This is merely a way for me to vent, and move on to the rest of my month. So, I give you the first of 12 things that I won't miss about Cleveland...
I will not miss our "backyard". (or lack thereof) It's terrible! The first thing Cleveland fans are thinking is "why don't you go to one of the many beautiful city parks?" We do. But I want a fenced in backyard. This is something that I had in our previous two homes. I love being able to send the kids outside while I get things done. I love that I don't have to be out there with them. I love that they can take Popsicles out and drip all over the place. I love how having a fence keeps the foul mouthed neighbor kids on their side. I also love having a trampoline, and other outside toys. So needless to say- no matter where we live- a backyard is a must. Okay. End of rant. Now I'm done for the month. See how therapeutic this is? Now I won't spend the next 4 weeks complaining about it because I already complained to the entire world. (or at least the 3 or 4 people who actually read this.)

Yeah, I'm with ya, girl! I would LOVE a fenced-in backyard!!! I'm scared to death to send the boys out without one! That would be hard to go from having one for so long to not having one! We've only ever lived in apartments before.
I'm looking forward to your monthly Cleveland rants. Though it has grown on me, Cleveland definitely has at least 12 things to rant about!
I am just shooting for you guys to come back here!!! Go Pocatello, then our husbands can wear funny socks together.
You are seriously so funny. I laugh every time I read your blog. I like the idea of getting it all out in one big rant- You usually feel better when your done!!! One year doesn't sound too bad though. Good Luck!!
I'm enjoying catching up on your blog, it's always good for a laugh.
While I AM a "rah rah" Cleveland fan, I guess I have to be since we will be here permanently, I do as well miss a fenced in backyard. What is it going to take to keep all the neighborhood kids out of my yard. I mean I don't want to be the psycho woman who lives down the street and has boundary issues, but I am sick of having the one yard that every kid within three blocks hangs out in, plays football in, leaves trash in, etc...
Basically, I feel your pain.
Hey I totally agree with you BUT I won't go on forever how much we have been LOVING our backyard!
