Leave me ALONE!!!

How many of you have neighbors you just can't stand? I know I do. At our old house, our nearest neighbor was a little over a mile away. It was great. I loved the privacy. The house I lived in before that, my only neighbor was my parents and they were still 100 yards away. They were great neighbors because they respected my privacy.

In the house we live in now, horrible neighbor. She is also about 100 yards away and there if a chain length fence between us. This does not stop her from bugging the shit out of me.
She is the woman we bought the house from. NEVER buy a house from someone that will live next door to you! Trust me.

After we moved in, she would still just walk in to the house on her own. OK, I am a very private person and don't like people in my house or even on my property unless I invite them so someone just walking in is a big no no. The first time she did it I had just had surgery and was doped up on pain pills. I just kind of stood there in shock and didn't say anything. The door she would just walk into was the door that comes in from our garage and then you have to walk through Little Mans room. We don't even use that door! So, we put a note on the door that says "Please use front door".

After that she started using the front door but she would barge in when I opened the door. By this time I REALLY don't like her and definitely don't want her in my house. So then I would open the screen door as I was shutting the wooden door behind me and that seemed to work.

Then the other day she really pissed me off. I was in the dining room doing school with the little ones and all the sudden I hear someone yelling my name. I get up and walk into the kitchen and she is at the back door, with it open and her head hanging in my house. To get to that door you have to walk through my gate and across my back yard. She told me she lost her phone in my yard and would be looking for it. I just said "ok, whatever" and shut the door in her face. How in the hell she lost her phone in my yard I will never know. But that's not the part that really pissed me off.

An HOUR later, I go outside to load up and go pick Little Man up from school. Her and another man are in my yard looking at something over by Benny's shop. I loaded up the kids as my blood is now boiling and walk over there to see what the hell they are doing. She then proceeds to tell me that there is a busted water pipe. I just look at her and said "I know, that's why I have the water to outside turned off. Benny is planning on fixing it this weekend. Did you find your phone?" I didn't say it in the nicest voice. She just looked at me and said "Oh, yes I did." And with that I turned on my heels and just walked off.

Do you think she got the hint or am I going to have to actually tell her "Listen, I don't like you and I don't want you over here. We bought the house from you. We are not renting it so it is no longer yours. STAY AWAY AND LEAVE ME ALONE!!!"

I bet she wouldn't listen even if I told her that. I love my house and love our place but I don't know if I can deal with her much longer.
