I have no desire to see you standing in your back yard in your underwear

Three years ago we bought our house. We did not buy it because it was our dream home. We bought this house because it was the only house of about 100 that met every criteria we set down. And for that reason alone we loved it!

New house must haves:

1) Must be near the interstate because of The Brain's commute to work
2) Three bedrooms plus another area to be used as a play room
3) Separate dinning room
4) 2 car garage
5) Fenced in back yard/ decent sized back yard for the boys and dog to run and play
6) Fireplace
7) Trees
8) Not ranch style
9) Good school system
10) BONUS - Culdesac so the boys can ride bikes.

Fast forward 3 years:

1)Brain now works from home
2)Play room is now an office
3)Dinning room table is broken all to hell and back.
4) Garage is too small for cars
5) Yard has been taken over by mosquitoes so the boys won't go back there and the dog has a bum knee and can't run
6)Fire places are overrated
7) Neighbors are cutting down all of the trees - as I type!
8) I fall a lot...
9) Wish I could afford private school
10) Kids refuse to learn to ride bikes

The one that pisses me off the most? #7
