Unspeakable crime


Several months back Tim found a bag of stuffed animals in one of the offices and brought it home. For the most part it was filled with carnival type toys, but there was also 3 different Tellatubbies in it, 2 of which talked. Well as we were going through the bag setting them aside, Teddy started coming up and stealing them one by one taking them to his "pits of despair" under our bed. We thought this was pretty funny so we let him keep them. Well the Tellatubbies made their way back out into the living room and turned into his favorite/most hatted toy. It would drive him crazy when he played with it and they started talking. Anyways one day a few weeks ago I went downstairs and this was the scean that I saw. A murdered Tellitubbie on the floor, with fluff all around. I started laughing and went to take a picture of the murder scean. As I did, Teddy came up to it as if to claim that he did it and he was proud of it too!

An update on my insane life!



It has been so long since I updated here that people have probably forgotten all about this. Then Rod went and put me to shame. I was feeling alittle ok about being behind, because every time that I looked at Rod's site it hadn't been updated either. Then I went there today and had to catch up on about 10 new posting...here my computer just wasn't showing the updates he had been doing to it. Ok so now I feel like a heel and need to update everyone.

First as most of you didn't know...the house didn't sell, so I am still here. Stuck in hell for another year. I know that the housing market took a crash, this this one out here nose dived right into an empty pool. Tim left over Labor Day weekend. I hadn't been home from Texas even a year yet when he had to take off. In fact we figured out that in the 6 years that we have been together as a couple, we have spent 3 of it apart. Let me tell you that saying good bye so many times over the years does not get easier the more you do it. So Tim is setteled into a new house there, and is about a block and a half away from the girls. It is nice for him as he gets to see the girls almost every day.

Scott and I headed up that way over our fall break for 2 weeks. Picture this....me, Scott, 2 dogs gatted into the back of my VUE, and a cat locked in a carrier. Not to mention luggage, and boxes on top of all that. What a fun 15 hour drive that was! It was perfect weather (back to Rod...you have to bring your family and camera up to visit...there are some really spectacular sites to see). When we got up there we stayed in the hotel down the street for a few days until we went to sign for the house on that Monday. Once again imagine...2 dogs and a cat in the hotel with the 3 of us there as well! We had a chance to go down to this bar that has a Browns Backers group that takes over the huge screen TV every week for the game. What a lot of fun watching the game with a huge crowd. That and Colorado has a no smoking law in place so I was actually able to enjoy the game with no breathing issues and not stink after wards! For the most part though we spent our time there getting the house all taken care off. The one tourist type thing that we did do was to go and tour the Coors factory. Pretty neat little town. They have it set that after you tour they encourage you to leave your cars in their parking lot and just walk around the town which is only 2 blocks away, and has a very old fashion feel to it. We walked around a bit and enjoyed lunch at an out door cafe/bar.

Once back in AZ it was time to get readjusted to having the house empty. Back to school, back to work and so each day goes. Scott got his report card while we were gone to CO, and for skipping a grade this year, he still managed to get straight A's with little struggle. I have to say that I am one proud Mommy when it comes to that kid!!!!
