Whine, Complain,Comply, Repeat...
Ugh.. gotta love Military life.
We've been living in base housing here in FL for almost a year.. . and now all of the sudden... we have the housing office knocking on all of our doors (7 plex apartment buildings..) informing us that we need to start maintaining our yards better than we have been.. Why? Because we have a Major that lives in the next house over doesnt like looking at kids toys.. she doesnt have children.
SO she complained to the housing office.. about us never mowing ( we havent had too.. Chugach (maintance) has been doing it for a few months, I wasnt going to tell them to stop, so I could mow..LOL.)
Well, now thats changed and we have a mowing schedule.. yada yada.. not a big deal..
What Irks me is that because the *major* doesnt like looking at our kids toys (bikes and the play houses* housing told us they wanted us to store them in our Garages.. Which are not attached to the houses and are in a totally different area. this is ridiculous.. its not like we all have a bunch of toys strewn all over the place.. but realistically there are 16+ kids that live in this building.. so yeah.. there are going to be toys,bikes,scooters,balls, the big houses.. etc. and yes, they do play during the day.. but the stuff is picked up at the end of the day..
So.. what to do about it...pray that Mrs. Major finds a hobby besides gardening.. sorry, but for those of you that dont know... Military housing.. whatever you do cosmetically inside and out (ie paint, plant flowers) you return it to how it was when you moved in.. so yeah, Im not much of a gardener these days..
So we did some trimming of the bushes and edging.. and that is that. No One took their bikes to their garages.. they are all still on the bike rack.. gotta love it.
anyways... Im ranting.. this shouldnt even be an issue. I dont understand why if A) she had a problem with the toys..she waited so long to say something?? she's been living here at least 6 months. B) why couldnt she knock on one of the 6 doors that people live in and say something to one of us, instead of going right to the housing office??
Anyways.. she was so insistent that the housing ladies were going to come back today at 3:00 to ck the yard again... lol, they never showed up.
and with that.. I keep telling myself, 3 more Months ;)
We've been stationed at 5 different bases.. and this by far has been the Worst...

Aww Jess, I'm so sorry you drew a crappy neighbor. Mine didn't like how I kept my yard so they both built fences... gotta love it.
Yes I understand she's a major but who is she to tell everyone how to leave their yard etc?! And just what are you supposed to do with your kids? Make them play in the garage because it can't be outside?! That's insane! Glad you are starting to see the good of moving on. You know I support the military but I don't support people that take advantage of their position (military or not!)
