OMG! I mowed my lawn!

I have NEVER mowed a lawn before... I know, I know... lame right?

So H never lets me mow the lawn because I have a bad back and before we moved into the house a year ago I lived in an apartment for 7 years, and when I lived with my parents, my dad liked mowing the lawn so I never had to do it.

H is working a LOT- double shifts, etc... and the lawn was getting a little shabby... so I mowed it! I feel so cool right now although it is pretty sad that I have been a homeowner for a year and never even tried (we had a gardener for the first 6 months then we fired him because he was terrible).

Yay for lawnmowing and I also planted new baby hedges in a planter in the front of my house... here's hoping they live!!! :)

 So are there things you have  never tried to do around your home that your H or someone else does?

Re: OMG! I mowed my lawn!

  • Very cool! I primed and painted our laundry room. Seems silly, but it was the first time I have actually painted by myself. I think I am getting the hang of it, which is good considering we have every interior wall left but the laundry room!
  • I haven't mowed our lawn but that's cause it's drives my allergies crazy but  I do all the weeding and seeding stuff. And I used to mow the lawn all the time growing up.

    I hung a curtain rod using a power drill for the first-love that!!

    And we own our car for a yr and half before I had to put gas in it.

  • You are awesome!  I have never mowed a lawn!

  • I have never mowed the lawn either... I never have sprayed for weeds or trimmed the hedges. I do all most everything else though!
  • I've never mowed the lawn or anything like that (weed eating, etc). Go you!
  • I used to mow my parents lawn when I lived with them but H does most of the yard work now. He likes it and is very finicky about it. It's cute.

    Kat-you didn't have to pump gas for how long? Tell your husband to come to my house!

  • Lol- ok, now I don't feel as bad for never having mowed before :)

    Kat- you'd fit right in in Oregon or New Jersey! :) No gas pumping allowed per state law, lol!

  • I know I was spoiled. Since I went to work so early he was paranoid about me getting gas before work, and I didn't have enough time after work on the way home and I was already doing all the errands with the baby and he didn't have a yard or anything to maintain at the time. He was real good about getting my tank filled every Sunday. Even if we didn't go anywhere that day he would wait till Isabel and I were sleeping and would take the car fill it up and come right back home. But now the honeymoon phase is over and I have to fill my own tank just like everyone else Crying
