Dilemma

OK...it has been brought to our attention that our new next door neighbor is a convicted child molester. Yep you read it right. He was part of a sting operation and was caught and through that sting they found a 13year old girl he had molested. My dilemma is what to do about my kids. What do I say to them about this man?? Do I say anything at all?? Do I make my other neighbors with young girls aware of the man?? I just have a lot of questions don't I. It worries me to have this man living next to us when I have an 11 year old girl who is budding as some might put it. His wife is nice ( still can't understand why she is still with him), we have met and talked and he has 2 young boys who ride the bus with P and T. P is good friends with the younger of the two boys. So Please if you have any thoughts or comments on this all is welcome. I just have no idea and you never think that your going to have some pervert living next to you . Thanks peoples!

She's Gone

She was here, but now she is gone...Yes my best friend K was here for a whole week and I had to drop her off at the airport this afternoon. No tears this time since we will see each other in a month. I guess we will be going home to Tulsa the day after Christmas, at least that is the plan at this date in time. We will see. We had a great time shopping and decorating the house. We got alot of the pictures hung and it looks like a home now. Satruday we went downtown Chicago for the 17th Anuual Festival of Lights. Nothing really exciting but there was a parade and Mickey Mouse, Minne, Donald, Daisy, Goofy, Chip n Dale, Bolt and the Cheeta Girls were all there. I will post some pics later. Right now I am waiting for the kids to get home so I can go grocery shopping for the week. Yippee! I so love doing that!!! NOT! I will talk more about the Lights Festival with the pics. So much to tell. More later!

I'm in trouble and does anyone need any Candy??

Just look at those eyes! I am in so much trouble and I only have myself to blame. I am soooo sorry Mom and Dad. I'm still not sure where she is getting the good looks from. I know not her father, but then it sure the heck isn't me!! Mr Indiana Jones himself! He's just to dang cute for words too.

Here they are together. I wish they got along this good all the time. But they do not. Dang it!!

And here is just the stash of T's big night out on the town. Anyone want any candy??? We have tons to spare.

I will be taking half of it and sending it to the school. They are taking donations for some charity and my kids, nor do I need this much candy in the house. M is taking what we have left which by the way is most of the bowl, to work with him. Just as long as I don't have to look at it and be tempted by it. Milky Ways are my weekness. Hope you enjoyed the pics. My BFF is going to be here in 14 days! I can't wait!!! Neither can P and T. M just wants pictures up on the wall so he is looking forward to her visit also! Everyone take care and we'll be blogin soon!

What a morning!

Just so every one can have a good laugh at my expense I will share with you what my morning was like.

Nothing out of the normal, just the same ol same ol. Got the kids up, fed them, got them on the bus and off to school. Didnt' miss the bus today like we did yesterday (yay!) You think that would be a plus and a good start to my day. Uuuh Nuuuh! I found P's cowboy boots that he plays outside in and climbs the mountain next to the Hacienda (spelling?) Any who, it is freeeeking cold outside, (we had snow flurries yesterday) but I can't clean them off in the house soooooooo yes, I have to go outside on the back porch and I am pulling huge amounts of mud clods off of these stinking boots and I notice I left the door open and the heater is on so I close the door. Do you see where I am going with this????? Not only did the door lock behind me, but I am in cut off sweats, a t-shirt, my hair (and it is short) back in a head band and my slippers. Oh and my mom's signature kitchen towel over my shoulder. HOT! Yep I was lookin HOT! I went around to the front door praying that it was unlocked. NOPE! The house was locked up tight. So I had to walk across the street to my neighbors house I have only met once, ONCE mind you looking like I was early for "Trick or Treating" SCARY!!!!!! She was very nice though and let me use the phone to call M so he could drive home and let me in. Needless to say he was not a happy camper and just laughed when he saw me walk across the street. I hope my day gets better!! So you can all stop laughing now.
