It's has definitely been a long time since my last post. I could tell you it's because I have 3 kiddies and have been too busy....This is partly true. Really, though, I have been in a blogging slump. No ideas and no motivation. Sure, I did lots this past summer, but I figure that writing about beach days and camping wouldn't really have a huge appeal to most of you.

So, today the slump has ended. I had a bit of a 'run in' while out doing my household chores.

I got home from work today and took one look at my huge mountain of recycle. Instead of being able to ignore it, as per usual, my mind could only focus on all that lovely plastic, paper and cardboard. So, fine, I would do it. To my surprise, my five year old offered to help. We gathered all our stuff and walked down to the recycle area. The next five minutes is totally boring. Paper in the paper bin, containers in the container bin.....FINALLY we were done, and on our way back when I hear a whole lot of shouting. I realize that there are &%$# words being used so I tell my 5 year old to run back up to the house. I, on the other hand want to know what is going on.

What was going on was an issue with a neighbour and a maintenance worker. There was yelling and cursing and threatening and then more yelling. This argument was ridiculous in my opinion. They were fighting over a garden. I am NOT a gardener and probably never will be one so to me that was stupid...however, if there are gardeners out there, and you are getting worked up over the thoughts of your gardens being 'disturbed', No offence to you all!

So, back to the story. I was watching these two grown men fight over this garden, and then instead of walking away, I decided to butt in. Yeah, I am probably half the size of these idiots, but I was a little pissed off that this was happening with kids around in the day. So, I make my presence know and say and my most serious and bitchiest voice, "Um, Is there a problem?"....As the words were coming out of my mouth they were getting weaker and weaker and I'm sure my face was starting to go red, my eyes were starting to water and I swear I was going to pee my pants!!
I expected someone to turn around and tell me to mind my own business, which would have sent me running home of course. Instead of that sad pathetic ending, the two men stopped yelling and walked away from each other! Holy Crap, I saved their lives....because they were totally going to kill each other....OR maybe not, but the point is, that I did something that is so not like me and it felt good!!
Please don't think I have gone off the deep end. I will NOT be making this a "New" thing. I know for certain that 95% of the time, I will be running home and not intervening.
