HOT,HOT,HOT

Wow what a change in the weather. I'm not complaining. Last week we had frost warnings and now in the 90's(32c). I love it. BUT the schools will look for any reason to get out early. Yes they are getting out at noon due to the heat!! If it's not fog delays it's heat. OMG It's beautiful outside right now the flowers and trees are all in bloom. Jack started his dream job today, maintenance man at a local golf course, a really nice one. He works 7 to 12 Mon,Wed,Fri and gets paid PLUS free golf. He is going to love it. I got a job also at a local B&B helping out with just about everything. I do like it but so far it has been all weekends and I'm not sure that is going to work for the summer. I'm missing two every important showers for family members one bridal , one baby because of the job. I know they understand but this can't happen too much. After all I'm the social queen of the summer. I'll just wait and see how it goes. This past weekend Aunt Lisa was here I love when she comes:+) James and Jack went to see a college for James a Maritime school and he really like it. So I guess my baby will be a boat captain. " Watch out pirates" Aunt Lisa and I went to the beach this past Saturday for a few hours AND I'm not going to like not having the Jeep. Now we are using the Suburban and it sucks. Load up the car, let, the air out of the tires, put the air back in the tires, unload the car. Before all I did was put the cooler on the Jeep and away we went. We'll see how long this last when Jack does it:+)

Great day

Life is good today. The weather was great AND yesterday was report card day. One son I will not even talk about except to say I hope he enjoys 10th grade again next year. But son #2 made the honor roll:+) The first time ever for sweet baby James I'm so proud of him. And this weekend he is going with his dad to look at a college in NY. At least I have one son who is looking towards the future.

A Happy Day

Safe return
Happy again

She's Back

OMG can you believe it the jeep is back!!!! The state police called Friday night to say that they recovered our baby. They found her in the same neighborhood that she has stolen from. She was in one piece A little wet because she was sitting outside in the 4 inches of rain we had last week but still looking good. So the police had her towed to the impound lot instead of calling us to pick her up. I still need to talk to Mr. LAD DICK about that. So we go there and of course it costs me money to get my car. The guy says that will be 130 dollars for the towing, Jack pulls out the checkbook and the guy says we only take cash. Excuse me no one deals in cash anymore they take plastic. So we empty our wallets and only have 120 dollars and the guy says OK I'll take it. What ever I would have like to run him over with the jeep, but we just loaded her up on a friends trailer and left. We couldn't drive her home because she has not insurance and no licence. As soon as we got home "THE BODY" jumped in and there she stayed back in her summer dog box as happy as can be. The police said they got no good finger prints off the Jeep, but we are pretty sure it was the kids who live in the neighborhood but no one can prove it YET. Hopefully they will some and then i will get my 120 dollars back:+)

Still missing

Our beach buggy is still gone and it is starting to feel bad. I feel violated how could someone steal a car? I would be too scared to do something like that. Also it has been raining and cold for three days. The kids are off school this week for spring break they have been pretty good considering the weather. When are things going to look brighter? Also "THE BODY" is not well, besides missing her dog box she has a problem with her ears they are all sore looking. She goes to the vet tonight. Please warm weather hurray up that will at least make things brighter:+(

Our Baby

Our beloved beach buggy

Gone Forever

It has been a sad weekend. The beach buggy is gone, STOLEN. We had it stored at a friends house for the winter. They came down this weekend to open the summer home and the jeep was gone along with their flat screen TV and a mountain bike. Now we were there two weeks ago to take pictures of the jeep because we were selling it and actually had a buyer. They were going to give us 1200 dollars for it. We only paid 1500 for it about 1o years ago!! The thieves actually must have been there several times because the battery was dead. So they brought a battery charger which they forgot to take idiots, when that didn't work the took out the old battery which is still sitting there and must have put a new one in. Then they hot wired it!! BUT the old girl was showing her age(1987) they could not have driven her too far because the thermostat was bad and it over heated after about 6 or 7 miles!! So they picked the wrong vehicle to steal. The police came to investigate, and this is were things looked a little brighter for us. The officer that came was a tall slender man with a flat top haircut real manly looking fellow. His name was Leslie A. Dick:+) Yes this is a true story. On his business card he uses his initials LAD Dick. Lucky for me the guy had a sense of humor I guess you need to with a name like that. The situation looked grim until Officer Dick showed up. He informed that his goal in life was to be a Major in the force so he could be called Major Dick:+) So now we are mourning the lose of our beloved beach buggy. She treated us well. Jessie "THE BODY" is particularly upset because that was her summer dog box, her retreat, her sanctuary, her ride to the beach. Is there nothing sacred in life anymore?

Raining

Today is Monday AGAIN. It is a triple bad day. First it is Monday, second it's laundry day, and third it is raining. So that is three strikes. Mondays should be throw out of the week. I know April showers bring May flowers but it is like a monsoon today.
Over the weekend we had grandmom, grandpa Carl, Aunt Lisa, and Jodi (a friend) here for the weekend. It was a nice time. I love when my family comes to visit. Yesterday was a beautiful day weather wise I got to hang out sheets I love the way the smell from the fresh air. And I started to pull weeds in the flower beds. I really dislike that job, but somebody has to do it. Soon I will be able to plant flowers and my garden I can't wait:+)
