Here is a photograph of my deck, the one with the lattice. See how high it is? Maeve and Josie tend to toss things over the deck: toys, cups, books, whatever they feel like chucking over. Being a single mom I don't run around the building to pick these things up right away because I am not going to leave them alone while I do so. It irks me that lately someone has been beating me to whatever it is that is thrown over and putting it in the dumpster. I have no proof so cannot point fingers as to whom could be doing this but whoever it is needs to get a life! My apartment building is backed by dirt, a creek and no neighbors so someone is very anal to be upset by children's toys being on the ground behind my building to have to run over and pick them up just to throw them away. So far in the past three days alone I have had to pull out of the dumpster: my mop and four rubber ducks. Just today a sippy cup was thrown over and not kidding less then an hour later it was gone and I bet if I walk over to the dumpster I will find it in there. I feel like hanging a sign down there saying "Single mom of two autistic children asks that if you pick up the things they throw over don't throw it away put it in here so I don't have to pull it out of the dumpster, thank you and have a nice day", I would have it hanging over a bucket with a rope attached so I could just pull it up to my deck without having to run around the building. Seriously annoyed!
