Tuesdays are rough.
Garbage day is a long day for us. Charlotte is horrified of the garbage truck and we hear it go by many times a day on Tuesday. We live on a corner and there is a separate garbage truck and recycling truck, and then it does each side of the street at different times, and then the street that runs perpendicular to ours (yeah, I said perpendicular). It's a long day of reassuring Charlotte that the garbage truck isn't going to get her. It also means she probably won't have a nap because she can't relax thinking about that dang garbage truck.

Too funny!
Ooh! I feel the same way about the garbage truck that comes into my apt complex. Next time it's here, can I call you for similar reassurance?
Maybe you should make Tuesday's "hangin' out at the park day"? Somewhere away from the trucks? Come on over. I'll take all of my Tuesday's off from now on.
That is so cute! However, those garbage trucks are pretty scary!
Kate! I'm excited to see you, too. Let the mullet formation begin.
Oooooo. It would seem that I have inspired a little blogging controversy. Kate, do allow me a moment to resolve this heated debate.
Terribly sorry, Mike, for offending your delicate sensibilities with my language. For future reference, there are lots of blogs out there that recount tales of lollipops, gum drops, and soft kittens. Ever thought about looking for one of those?
PS -- Susie Q...we're soul mates.
Snap!
Yeah, Jade was scared of the garbage truck for a while too. She atually made up this whole story about how the garbage man would mistake her for trash and scoop her up and dump her in the back of the truck. It was kind of disturbing! She did grow out of it though.
Cute blog Kate!

-That is exactly what Lynette would say!
I agree with Mike. Lynette and Tequila are one in the same. Lets give Lynette a cool name like "whiskey sour" or "long island" maybe "jagerbomb", "appletini" quite possibly could work.
I can totally relate except for us it's when the landscapers (is that a real word?) come over every other week. Although I guess we don't have it as bad because they are only here for like 30 minutes, but oh what a horrible 30 minutes it is. And they always seem to come during nap time. Grrrr. So frustrating.
It's friday and she's still worried about that damn garbage truck.
Lynette is definitely an appletini.
ohhhh, Brooklyne hates the garbage truck too,,,, she will come running and screaming inside and then cling to my heck like it is a life praserver!!! fortunately for us, we only see the garbage man a few times in the day on Mondays and Thursdays.
Mike -- Whether general observation or critique, your comment made my mouth grin and my chest swell with pride.
Three more days until I can hear about the garbage truck in person!
