7 the number of times Scott has been by the window on the lawnmower since I’ve been sitting here.

1,529,763 the number of times the dog has barked at the lawnmower.

1,529,763 the number of times I have wanted to shoot the dog today.

37 the number of times I’ve seen today’s episode of Dora.

4 the number of times Caleb stuck his finger in my eye or up my nose when going down for a nap.

3 the number of times our life has been crapped upon in the past 10 days: Scott’s cell phone stolen right out of his van by someone who lived at a house where he was fixing the heat; unpaid car tax by Scott’s exwife keeping us from getting our tags renewed; the lawnmower just fuckin blew up. Ain’t life grand.

89 the number of times I’ve cussed in the last 10 minutes.

46 the number of miles to be driven to grandmother’s house after Caleb’s nap.

6 the number of flaming torches I ~~plan to~~ feel like shooting from the vehicle at gas stations selling gas for $2.89/gallon.

9 the number of times I’ve sneezed today due to allergies.

57 the number of times I’ve felt like slamming my head through a plate glass window this week.

Update: the lawnmower may not be blown up after all, but is still in need of a part, thus leaving the yard half mowed.
