Criminal Acts

Hi Girls - So here it is Monday and I had grandiose plans of getting up early, doing some yoga, drinking my coffee and reading the paper until my two offspring who have been attached to my hip since returning from Girls' Weekend would rise......BUT - I instead got to call the Sheriff's department for my husband who had not only his car, but his Dad's truck broken into last night. I love living in a somewhat affluent gated-community -- so worth it! So after quizing the sheriff's officer on how he would secure the crime scene and asking if he was sure he got all the prints and checked for all possible clues ---- he turns to me and says, "this is not CSI..." So now I am not in the mood I want to be, but I did read Laura's email and will try to control my reaction to all of this. The worst thing stolen was Sam's ipod which I spend ten million hours downloading for him. Thank God the Fantastic Van was securly locked up in my garage because I would have been beside myself if they had taken mine.

So it is 900 degrees and this pool cannot be built quick enough. My kids are so bored they can barely stand it but I am trying to be so frugal this summer because of the expense of this pool. I am so deseperate we even went to Wal-mart as a "treat" last week because I knew I wouldn't spend any money there! I keep telling Julie to put Clayton on a plane down here to occupy my kids for me but for some reason she won't do it....

Glad to hear the updates ---- gotta go play "Life" with the kids....how many days away is the next Girls' Weekend????

your morning is at least exciting. I spent mine cleaning my kids rooms and throwing away junk that is not needed. It was a good feeling when done however.
We are also being frugal this week as I spent $500 at the western store and havent told JOhn yet!!!!!!!!!
We are going to the grocery today as our outing!!! the fun never ends.
