Seriously...come on!

We have one car. Everyone knows that by now. We're adjusting pretty well, for the most part. This morning, M took it instead of us taking him to work because he needed to work off-site at another county location.

He called about an hour ago.

Ready for it?

Someone threw a brick through the passenger side front window and took our GPS and DVD player.

Seriously. I just sit here and shake my head. I keep saying, "We're going to figure it out," every time some new bizarre thing pops up with us. But I'd like a break from the figuring if it's ok.

ETA: Someone in the county building saw the action, called the cops with the description of the guy and the car he was in. They caught him. They got the electronics back. That's good, especially since the DVD had a Baby Signing Time from the library in it. It's now in evidence. Wow...I just had a real reason to say something of mine was "in evidence." Weird. Now to figure out how to take care of the window.

My super wonderful friend Julie has graciously offered to make her van available for us since they're not needing it this weekend. Once again, we'll figure it out. We'll get through. In the meantime, I just have to laugh or I'll cry, for sure.

    good grief! I'm sorry you're having to deal with this rk - but thank the Lord it was witnessed and taken care of... hope the window is a minimal cost - wouldn't the guy who broke it be responsible for paying for it?? I sure hope so... although he doesn't sound like the most responsible guy on the planet to begin with!

    Thank you to Julie from us, too. (RK's mom and dad) You're a special friend.
    Yes, Jessie, Missouri has a victim compensation program that should apply. BUT it may take a good while and some hassle to get it.

    People like that bug me! At least they caught him. I hope they make him pay to have your window fixed.

    Ugh. I always think The Hubs is being paranoid when he tells me to put everything away -- even the garage door opener! -- when I park the car. I guess not.

    Oh, man, RK. I'm so sorry.

    Glad they caught the culprit, though.

    No one should steal a Baby Signing Time DVD and get away with it!

    You just let me know if you need a new Baby Signing Time DVD... maybe an autographed one? I know people;)

    Really, really, that is not cool! So glad they caught him, and here's an idea maybe he can give you his car while yours is being fixed, i mean since he saw fit to break yours while his is still working and all. Just a little thought I had... so silly. Anyways, surely there is a way to make the guy pay for the damage, surely.

    People are jerks. Seriously make me so angry. Most people work hard for what they have, and just becase some are (several not so nice words) doesn't mean they should take or damage other people's property. I hope that guy, kid, whoever it was gets in a lot of trouble. Servers him right. Yea to the good looker outer person who called the cops!

31 for 21: What to say

I have encountered plenty of people who ask "How old is she?" when Braska and I are out together here and there. They always guess her age about 5 months younger than she is, but that's ok, since that's what size she is. I have said several times that I can imagine it will bother me a bit more, although still not a huge deal, when she turns one next month and I see their reaction to that, as she still is in her car seat/carrier when we're in a restaurant or in a store since she doesn't sit up. Today, I met some friends for brunch. The waitress was a nice enough, very young girl, and she started cooing at Braska right away. That's nice. I don't mind, Braska likes the attention, and I'm proud of my cutie. The waitress asked her age, and I told her 11 months. She then said, "But she's not walking yet?" as she noticed that she was up to the table in her car seat/carrier. I just agreed and said, "Not yet." She said she h...

Can I get a do-over?

If you are in need of a laugh at another's expense, I invite you to read on... really, it's totally ok. I can take it. This might end up long, but I wanna remember this special day. Oh so special... Today is my first day to have both girls and be on my own. Yeah, it's been two weeks, but I'm apparently slow at learning how to deal with this kind of thing. I knew it would be a challenge, but I thought with starting way early, we could make it. The quick ending is that we did make it...but that's not really the whole story. Kinlee's been sleeping til about 9 am or so after getting up twice in the night. That's ok, I'm dealing with it. But since Braska is supposed to be at school at 10 am on Mondays, I thought I better not sleep in like I prefer, and instead, I should get up and get things moving earlier to be sure we're on time. Not a problem, since Braska decided to be up twice last night in addition to Kinlee's two times. One time overlapped...so...

Little call, big letters

This will make more sense to you DS moms and families out there... I apologize for the cryptic nature, but you'll have to trust my reasoning. Braska had a lab draw on Tuesday last week. The GI called me Wednesday and said there were some significantly elevated levels in the results. Ok fine. Not like we've never had an abnormal lab. But then he used *those* words...the C word and the L word. Said he'd be talking to hem/onc. We needed to go redraw on Friday morning. We didn't freak or anything, but when I hung up the phone, I thought, "Wow, so that's what it's like the first time they mention it." We took her for her draw again on Friday morning, and we figured everything was fine since we got no call over the weekend. Yesterday I checked in with them. Dr. R confirmed that everything was clear, almost in a "weird way," but they checked with the lab to make sure it was a viable result. All is well. Follow up in 6 months as usual unle...
