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.

    So glad the outcome was as good as it was. Will be praying for boring routine for awhile. :)

    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!

Multi-mothering

Last week, Jen , Mark, and Sophie came to town for Sophie's ear tube placement at SLCH . We met up after the procedure at the Galleria so Jen could snag some shoes for Sophie (not that she was able to get what she wanted, unfortunately, but the Robeez Sophie got were super cute!). The double stroller we have is very good, it maneuvers very smoothly and opens and folds up really easily. Since it's so easy to deal with, I thought I'd add another task or two to the situation... Most of you know that you can click on the pictures in any post and they'll open up bigger. But in case you can't see clearly enough... Is there a law against driving a double stroller with one hand while holding a newborn with the other while holding the bottle with my chin?? (No, but there should be a law against that double chin that is created with this position!)

BabyLegs Giveaway

That's right! A BabyLegs Giveaway!! BUT...this giveway has an extra dose of generosity required for the participants. Can you handle it? BabyLegs has been so great to us, and they have surprised me once again! It all started back when the superb Tricia and Little Miss G sent Braska a pair many moons ago. We'd seen them on a few of our little blog friends, and I thought they were adorable. And the idea of keeping Braska warm while being able to access her g-tube without having to undress her was very appealing. So when we received our surprise pair from our friends out East, we were just plain giddy! I quickly ordered several more pairs to go with her wardrobe. It didn't take anytime at all for BabyLegs to become my standard gift at baby showers, and I especially loved sending them to moms that I found who had fresh little new babies with DS. They're perfect for everyday with a long-sleeved onesie, they are great under a little dress, and they are so helpful with thera...
