Now that's fair!!

arrest made!!!

The 20 year old boy that lives next door to me with his mother was arrested & charged this morning for burglary to my home....
the leaf blower he had pawned & the battery jump box thing was on his property. Now for the other things there is reason to believe that he may have placed it in my trash can after his mother told him to return it (his mother that would NOT look me in the eye yesterday, now I know why...she knew!!). Jacob has said that the trash was extra heavy when he took it out at about 11:00 last night when we came in from the fair. This could have also been the rain, oh how I hope so!! I would much rather have his Xbox than the blower and jump box....

I have had a few emails of people asking me how in the world???


See these windows.....they are in my front room (red room)
back behind Jacob and my car on the left is a carport door Those wondows are in the room behind Jacob where the front door is..

I would often tie back same said windows like such and leave them like such for days (before the room was painted red)

by looking in those windows you could see the xbox, this is where Jacob sat to play..

the laptop sat over here and you can see in this room as well by looking in those windows...

you can see here how you can see the red room on the left and the laptop would be over behind Jeremy (in white)

I know I just drew it out how to get in or what have you, but hey if someone dare they should come on in....I am ready!

Will got to pawn shop today

Update...

The detctives have located my leaf blower at a pawn shop not far from my home, you ready for this................................................................................................................................
It was pawned by my next door neighbor last week. SO they got that out of my building (I say building it is a storage room attched to my home, much like a laundry room) last week then gained some confidence and entered my home on Sunday night!!
Stay tuned~

Arkansas State Fair 2005
and this may be the end of my blogging because Jacob may likely choke me for this pic..hahaha!

We were gifted a VIP packet to the Fair for tonight and we will be doing things like above but I highly doubt Jacob will be willing to milk an artificial cow!?!?!

Sunday=Funday

Sunday we had an appointment with the giraffe at the LR Zoo to go in and feed them. We took Leah, Jenifer, Aidan, Hunter & Hudson and we all had a blast! We laughed so hard at the monkeys and the show they put on...shew they can be really gross!!
These pics were on my camera and laptop, both of which are now gone so Denise emailed them to me.

Back to the weekend and before the burglary...Saturday I hung out with Denise and watched the game. Carson & I had some fun times goofing off!!

sleep....

I have had none!! We turned out the lights just like they were Sunday night...it is pitch black and someone had to know exactly where they were going to get each item. They also went in Jacob's room and took his money off his dresser and a light HAD to be turned on to even see it. So they knew he often times slept in my room, he had fallen asleep while he was making out his Christmas list Sunday night and I was watching Brothers & Sisters.

Robbed!!!

This morning I got up to shower and was running early with my time..I then went to computer to update my fb and WHAT? My laptop was not there, I wake up Jacob and he discovers his Xbox is gone. Then we discover my camera is gone from my kitchen table, my camera that was sitting on top of my car keys. Then we discover the leaf blower is gone. Yes someone came in while we were sleeping and took these items, disconnected the Xbox from the 42" flat screen I won but did not take it and I am scared they will come back.
There are several reasons to think it is the 20 year old boy next door that just moved in with his mother.
And no I have no renter's insurance....
Roomie moves, furloughs at work and now this!! Jacob is DEVASTATED!!! He cried all the way to school!
I am looking for used computer, Xbox and camera I guess, so if you know of any for sale let me know.
I already miss my cheapo camera sooooo bad!

Halloween 2006

THANK YOU GIRLIE, YOU ROCK!

Kreativ??

Joy over at emotional diva thought I was creative enough to receive a kreativ blogger award so i'm going to pass it on. thanks so much Joy! Joy and I met through the blog world and have actually never met in person, but we will and sooner than later I hope

here are the rules:
thank the person who nominated you for this award.

name 7 things about yourself that people may not know.
nominate 7 Kreativ Bloggers.
post links to the 7 blogs you nominate.
leave a comment on each of the blogs letting them know they've been nominated.

7 things about me you may not know:

1. I am shy when it comes to the "about me" sections of any networking site, I always wish someone would do it for me, so this award may be difficult....
2. I twist/twirl my hair, mostly when I am sleepy but I do it and have since I was a baby. My mother & grandmother would put socks on my hands in hopes I would stop...it did not work.
3. I had 8 surgeries in 2003, the last being the same procedure as open heart.
4. I am ready to date ....but if you know me you know this!
5. I can appear as a toughie but I am very sensitive, I guess it is a wall I put up.
6. I am not an animal lover.
7. Much like Joy I have seen a lot of abuse from a previous husband. I have spoke on Domestic Violation. October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, do something in your community to help out.

I am a tiny bit stressed this week so I am going to tag any of you that would like to participate, I love all your blogs :)

Fall is here and I love this cool weather! Not so ready for the freezing cold but I do like it like this.
Friday evening Jacob and I had dinner at American Pie with the Hopkin's & the French's....it was a nice visit and I enjoyed all the kiddos.
After getting back home I got a call from a friend that was out of town to move the body of a dead ferret, so here we go 2 single mothers with our children on a mission...lol yes it was wrapped by the vet but this was wierd on a cold evening with a full moon....
Saturday I got up and cooked fpr Jacob and made a big pot o' chili. We picked up Jacob's friend Matt and went to Leah's for the game. Matt stayed over and we just kind of relaxed. It was a nice weekend and I did not take one single picture..amazing I know!
Have a great week! I am still waiting to hear back from the interim principal on last week's ordeal where Jacob got hit...not happy with what he said on Friday.

Lakewood 20~Ridgeroad 14

A happy boy after the game~

Until he got on the bus to ride back to the school and a team mate did THIS! With a cast that he had on his arm, and yes it was on purpose. Jacob said he kept playing in his head me saying "turn the other cheek" and not wanting to get kicked off the team. I am dealing with this today and I am not a happy Mom, this kid has been picking at him for a while!

Halloween 2006

I worked hard on this makeup...I took off early on this day and took about 2-3 hrs to do this face. It was pretty darn cool :)

In my world....

Roomie gave her 30 day notice last night due to her financial situation and is moving back home to her parents, I will be looking as I would like to keep someone for the next year.

I want to go to a pumpkin patch, do you think Jacob would enjoy that?no?

Tomorrow night Lakewood vs Ridgeroad

And tonight is Cougar Town woot!

oh and we are both still coughing, can't seem to shake the cough.

oh yes I did...

let my minor child scratch off a lottery ticket. He had been insisting for some time that we must get some so while at lunch yesterday I purchased 2-$2.00 tickets. Mine on the right won nothing however his on the left won back the $4 I spent to purchase them so we broke even.
We just had to check it out because neither of us had ever seen a lottery ticket. If we ever do it again we will win BIG!!

Watch party!

Fridat evening Jacob and I rented movies after having dinner with Heather, we are both still trying to shake this cough and it is not easy!!!
Saturday we watched the game at Leah's and had a nice cookout. Still feeling under the weather I was just blah....but a great time was had by all!

We sang happy 81st birthday to Leah's neighbor, she teared up and I may have too...

And of course we had a game of football in the front yard!

I did put out a few Halloween items yesterday. Today's weather is so fallish!

My Razorback's and my Raider's both lost this past weekend but hey better luck next time!
