2 years ago, 3 weeks before Christmas, my husband had a major hip replacement operation, was in the hospital for 3 weeks, and off work for 3 1/2 months. He was not able to walk for a couple of weeks without a walker and needed help getting dressed, etc. He got out of the hospital 2 days before Christmas.
My mom and I got into a big argument a few months before this time. She is a very controlling person. She would try to tell me what to do and how to do it for so many years, so I finally got sick of it and told her off.
She was always telling me how to live my life, what kind of job I should have, what programs I can enroll my daughter in, etc, etc,etc. She doesnt understand that we do not value money and material posessions above time and relationships with our children and family. We live in a 150,000 house, and sacrifice material things so I can raise my daughter, until she goes to school.
My mom never came to visit my husband in the hospital, and didnt even come to visit us for Christmas because she thought we were being selfish because we would not drive to her house for Christmas (even though my husband had just gotten out of the hospital 2 days before and couldn't walk on his own). She said we could put him in the upstairs bedroom while we opened presents with the family downstairs. We were infuriated with her that she would treat us like that. We spent Christmas alone, because she invited the whole family over without asking about our needs. Im sure she hinted around to other family members about how "selfish" we were. At least my brother came out to visit and understood the situation.
Anyway, about 4 months later, she fell down the stairs while moving into her new 450,000 house and broke both of her ankles, and had to have major surgery. She needed a hospital bed in her house, a wheelchair and a cane for a couple of months. Sorry mom, we're just too busy to visit. Now that's ironic.

Because my husband and I were both busy working (and our old "push" lawn mower had broken), we decided to pay a local semi-retired neighbor to mow our lawn for us. He had a ride-on mower and got the job done quick.
After both my husband and I were recently laid off, and money was tight, we decided to try and cut out every possible extra expense. We went and bought a new lawn mower on sale at Sears on our credit card (the payments were much smaller than what we were paying the neighbor) I thought my husband told the neighbor not to mow our lawn anymore....he thought I had told the neighbor. Oops - neither had, in fact.
We recently had an offer from a friend's elderly relative to mow their lawn, which we decided to do to pick up some extra money. After sweating our butts off for two hours, we loaded up our mower and came home. As we turned the corner, we immediately saw that our OWN lawn had been mowed while we were gone.
We had to pay the neighbor for his services, which was more than we made at the job WE did.
This is, to me, ironic.
(as well as a lesson in how to better communicate, duh).

Irony is talking to a bunch of reporters a weeks ago and telling them how safe your newly purchased plane is and how all one needs to do is to push a parachute ejection button should your plan have mechanical failures and then you read up on JFK's tragic plane crash and then well.. you crash your plane into a NYC apartment buiding.
