The Break In

So, in the last 3 months, my car has been broken into 3 times at home at night.... think most people who I have told were beginning to not believe my story. All the perp does is empty out the glove compartment, and take random items. Once they took my work bag that had a binder from school, a few papers, and my calendar. Once they took $4 - and once we found nothing missing. Bill's work truck was hit also, they took random items, and the last time, his work credit card (gas) they also took my CVS pharmacy - no value, its like a Dillons card. The last time, last week, we filed a police report, and talk to the neighbors, they all got hit also.

So, last night about 1 am, the phone started ringing. First Bill's work line, then the home phone - then his cell rang, finally he got up and got them answered (obviously it wasn't for me, so why should I answer it) and it was the police and they wanted him outside....

Apparently crazy robber lady was out again. And this time she was caught in the act. There were 5 cop cars outside and one screaming lady who apparently only spoke Spanish - face down on the concrete. Our neighbor, the one I call "sarge" for many reasons, saw her and called the cops. This time she went so far as to break the glass out of Bill's work van. My car was fine though. She said she saw someone and came down to check it out. However, my CVS card and Bill's work CC was in her wallet, and misc cable tools were in her possession. I think she had someone in a car with her, but either they got away, or I didn't see them. I was certain that the perps were junior high boys, apparently I was wrong...However, now my story about the break-ins doesn't sound so strange though. It was really all very strange. Nice story though....

So, it has been a veryb long time since I have written. Life started happening, we all went back to school, and everything got busy.

I am doing well, I have been very busy at school, on and off I have taken on a few principal type responsibilities. I have done quite a bit of scheduling, and
what I call "surveillance" - and I am enrolled in our Admin Development Series. It takes time, but I actually kinda like it, so it works for me.

The kids are busy with school and friends. Doni has her first dance on Friday, well, the first one she is actually going to anyway. Ian is in Pre-School - and loves it. He is learning about farm animals and presidents - interesting combination, I think. Kati is loving school. Doni moved downstairs, so now Kati and Ian both have their own rooms, they are still sharing a bed though - if you know of an extra twin bed anywhere, let us know.... This is the first time that Kati has had her own room, so it will be interesting when she actually starts sleeping in her own bed.

Ian had his 4th birthday last week. I managed to be completely sick, so he didn't actually have a party. If you have been around him at all in the last several months you would know he was planning to have it at Chucky Cheese....he was said that it didn't happen, but we hit the McDonald's PlayPlace last weekend and seems to be appeased. I think he is still expecting a party though. He told me last night we could have my party at Chucky Cheese if I wanted to, yeah, I don't think so.... He did get a Choo Car tent for his bed (Lightening McQueen of Cars), so he and Kati have been sleeping in style. It is rather funny to see him, Kati, Wendy (the Lab) and the Cat all under this tent designed for a twin bed...They snuggle.

Well, I am checking out for now. I promise to drop a note sooner this time. Love and Kisses...Jen
