Alright, so I was mowing the lawn with Mom, (which you can totally tell which parts I mowed and which part she mowed...) and we were almost done. I had just come out from getting a drink, I had Mom start my lawn mower, and as I grabbed the little handle that boosts the front tires... and suddenly, ZAP!!!!!! I felt this really sharp pinch in my left hand index finger (just so you weren't wondering which finger I was talking about. =) I was relaxed at first then the pain zipped through my finger and I started shaking my had as if I was bit by a caterpillar... =D Mom noticed it and she asked what was wrong, "I think I just got stung by a wasp!" " Are you sure you didn't just get your finger pinched?" " Yea, Mom, remember I've been stung by a wasp before?" (I got stung before between the toes. We were at Herriman beach where there are TONS of wasps. I was sitting with Mom and Rhoda, who went with us, then I decided to go get water for a sand castle. I was at the edge of the beach when I thought I stepped on a sharp wood chip. But then I felt this sharp zap going through my foot, so I ran to Rhoda and Mom and yelled,"GET IT OUT!!! GET IT OUT!!!!!" "OUCH! THE PAIN IS GOING UP MY LEG!!" and Rhoda said, "then I need to give you a shot in your leg if the pain is going up your leg," and then I replied," No, it's just in my foot..." They said I stepped on a wasp and the stinger was stuck. I freaked out like a kid who hadn't studied for a math test. A couple minutes later my foot was too swollen to put a tennis shoe on! So later that night we went to the doctor and he used permanent marker to show how swelled my foot was. It also showed, after he pulled out the stinger, how much of the swelling went down and how much will go down.)
Well, back to what happened on Monday... there was no stinger this time, so that's probably why it didn't hurt as much... but last night I slept on it all night so it hurts like crazy today. It'll hurt even more today at guitar practice, because the index finger is one of the fingers we use the most to play sweet music. Oh, well... "I will survive..."

One mowhawk in the front yard doesn't mean you did a bad job...And every blade of grass you mowed was one less I had to do! Thanks for your help! :D Love you!
And sorry about your finger...I think you just have a thing for getting stung...
Ahhh...good times! Yes, those wasps must have it in for you. Seriously...you are mowing lawns. I'll take a few mowhawks in my lawn if that means I don't have to do it myself! You're awesome.
Deal!! I'd be happy to mow your lawn!!!!!( you must have a lot less hills than my house!!!!) :)
That sucks, Syd :( Hope it feels better soon!
P.S. I'm so glad your house is okay!
