You did WHAT on Saturday morning?

Saturdays are known for being the day of the week where people finally get to sleep in after getting up early all week. Casey must have forgotten this well known fact this weekend. He made me get up at 7am to…eat breakfast? No. Watch the sunrise? No. Mow a lawn? YES! He made me mow my very first lawn this weekend. I can’t say that mowing a lawn was on the top of my list of things to do in life but I guess I can check it off. The high point of the morning was when he wanted me to start the mower myself and refused to help me. While I admire his confidence in me, after my arm muscles felt weak due to the fact that I tried to start the thing 20 times, I was ready to give up. The fact that Casey was laughing and loving every minute of watching me fight with the mower didn’t help either. I finally stepped away form the mower and said “If you want me to mow the yard today, you better start this thing because I’m ready to go inside and lay on the couch while you do this!” Needless to say I got him to start the mower. I mowed and he edged/weed-eated for probably about 45 minutes. I told him the next time I will be mowing a lawn will be while on a riding lawn mower.
