1. I'm trying to catch up on the board today and not doing a good job. 2. jbeanie, sorry to hear about your flat tire after getting out of work, been there-done that...ugh! 3. Nick, I'm glad to hear your wife is on the road to recovery. 4. Jewels...ouch! I feel for you. 5. I've been losing track of days and hours as they just blend one into another lately. 6. I came out of work late recently and my driver side door was smashed in and my sideview mirror was crunched all the way forward (not a position it can usually go in...sighhh!). 7. No note, no nothing. Insurance will cover the new door and mirror required and auto repair guy said it was a high profile vehicle like an SUV. Warning - RANT ahead: I've never been a fan of SUV who block my view ahead on a roadway, but I usually just change lanes and bare with their presence...but now, I grrr at every one I see on the road...lol! I'll get over this grrr-ing soon.

1. So good to see you again, Coco! I'm sorry to hear that somebody smashed up your car, for one, but then didn't even have the decency to tell you about it. 2. At swimming lessons last night Jake put his head under water (purposely) for the first time. He was so excited! He came up screaming, I DID IT! I DID IT! DID YOU SEE THAT? I swear everyone in the whole place heard him and was clapping. It was a great moment, I am so proud of him. He has always been so scared to do that, but he spent the rest of the lesson under water, I swear. It was great. 3. My kids are currently fingerpainting and I am scared to go in there to see what they are doing. I have a feeling Jenna is probably painting herself again. Yesterday I found her with a paint brush in her mouth. 4. We went to meet a friend at the play area at the mall today and Jenna ignored her little friend and played with another girl that she didn't know instead. I felt so bad, but I didn't know what to do. I know she likes the friend that we met, I guess maybe she was having more fun with the other girl. 5. I really need to clean my house, it isn't dirty, but nothing is in its right place and it is driving me crazy. I definitely need to do some Wargodding and Skootzing. 6. I am babysitting a friends two kids this Sunday, they are 2 1/2 years old and 6 months old. So four kids under the age of 5....it will be a good reminder for me of why we decided to not have anymore! 7. Jake just told me that Jenna is eating the fingerpaint. Oh joy. 8. I guess that is my cue to go be a mom again! At least I had a couple minutes of quiet time!

1. Coco, I'm sorry to hear about your car (and glad you weren't in it at the time!) I'm also sorry the person who hit it didn't bother to leave a note or information on where you could contact them. 2. Jewels, I have to apologize to you too cuz I'm sitting here cracking up. I can just imagine what was going through your head when you walked in and saw her sitting there covered in paint with a paintbrush hanging out of her mouth! 3. Darren spent his bonus on a new tv. According to him it's really spiffy, I don't see much of a difference though, lol. When we were looking at them in the store he kept asking me what I thought, I thought they all looked the same! He'd give me this look of pure pity, shake his head and then ask me about the next one. He's quite happy with his new toy and his only plans today are to come home and set it up. 4. I have done absolutely nothing today. We ate dinner out last night so the only dishes are the kids cereal bowls which I guess I can wash before they come home, lol. Everything else is clean or can wait til tomorrow. 5. Good thing too cuz sis shared her stomach flu with me. I was up most the night looking like Linda Blair on the Exorcist. Judging by the way I felt this morning I'm pretty sure my head spun around a couple times too. 6. I haven't even taken anything out for dinner. Darren can do drive thru for him and the kids or order delivery. 7. I got a little nap earlier. Was trying to nap longer but the police helicopter was overhead and sis kept calling. 8. There was a car chase through town that lasted almost two hours. The woman was being questioned and took the cops car. She kept driving through my neighborhood, the kids school neighborhood and moms neighborhood. Was kinda weird to watch the news coverage and be able to look out the window and see the helicoptors and cops at the same time! 9. I want to get little adopted sis' baby album done by this weekend. There's only 4 weeks or so til her babyshower and I'll need to work on both the album and the diaper cake. Figure if I get the album done I can box it, wrap it and put it up and out of the way, can't do that with the diaper cake.

1. yippee! it's friday! thank goodness. i'm exhausted. 2. we worked from 5-1 today. it's nice getting off early, but going in at 5 (AM!) is hell. i can't go to bed early enough to get enough rest, and neither can lola....barking, growling at every little noise. gotta love it. my little 4 lb protector. lol. 3. in the extra time i had from getting off of work early, i went to the library to print some stuff out (printer cartridge is empty, and it's cheaper just to go there and pay 10 - 25 cents per copy). 4. tomorrow i am going to get my hair cut and highlighted by a friend who's been a professional for years now, and i've just never been to her. the town is where pamy's aunts live. small world, ain't it? 5. i'm excited, because i haven't seen this friend in about 4 years. maybe she won't notice that i'm a few pounds heavier than i used to be. i'm blaming it on turning 30+, lol! 6. one week from tomorrow i fly out for my cruise. i am so excited! i'm a little nervous though about everything i need to remember to buy/pack/get done....etc. it's always something. 7. i also checked out a few books at the library....losing it, by lindsay faith rech, and the last year of being single by sarah tucker. 8. later this afternoon i went and tanned. i found this place that only costs $10 for a week. i don't go every single day, but will probably go more this week than i have been. 9. i am so happy that i don't have to work tomorrow. 10. hope you all have a fantastic weekend!

1. I'm so disgusted right now. Most of you have probably never heard of Steven Avery, but he's this guy who was convicted of a rape/murder in 1985, then exonerated based on DNA evidence in 2003. Totally cleared. Well, on Halloween of last year this photographer woman was called out to take photos at his junkyard for a used car magazine she worked for- her body was found (partially burned) a few weeks (or less) later on his property. He swore up and down he was innocent (despite her car keys being in his bedroom) and that he was framed by the police because of his lawsuit regarding the 18 years he spent in prison. Well, the other day his 16 year old nephew came forward and admitted everything. He had been coming by on his bike to drop off a letter and heard a woman screaming & crying for help. She was shackled to a bed and this Avery guy told his nephew he'd raped her a few times already then encouraged him to do it too. Which he did. What kind of screwed up kid comes across that and then just joins in???? So the whole thing apparently went on for 7 or more hours during which she was raped, stabbed, her throat slit, then shot a bunch of times. Then they tried to burn her body. Sick. Sick. Sick. It doesn't seem to be a huge story nationwide (even when she was a missing person), but Google News "Theresa Halbach" or "Steven Avery" and it's all over our local news. It just drives me nuts that this guy spent all that time in prison, was found to be innocent, then went and did just what he'd been found innocent of. And how can a 16 year old kid just join in???? Avery told his nephew afterward what a "good job" he did! It's just so sick and sad and wrong. The details they released- I don't really know why they were necessary. Before the news conference they even warned her family and friends (and any kids at the TV of course) not to watch. Okay. That was my ONE fact.

1. Kaili, that is sick. I remember hearing about that story when they first found her body, but I hadn't heard anything since then. That is just absolutely horrible. 2. I am so tired tonight....my DH is outside working on digging the trench to pour the front side of our new foundation and I really should be out there helping him, but I just can't muster up the energy. Besides, it's cold out there!

1. Kaili I'd been following that story when they found her body and for awhile afterwards then heard nothing else about it. It is very sick and terrible. 2. Jewels, how funny that story made it all the way up there! I never made it back to post an update last night. Like I said, this chase took place for a good part of the time through the kids schools neighborhood. Caleb's class was out at pe the first time they went through and the helicopters so he was excited at the thought of being on the news. The school called a code blue (lockdown) and they had police officers stationed on campus and around it. The kids spent two hours sitting on the floors in their classes and then about two hours afterwards still on lockdown though they were able to get up. They ate lunch in class and the yard duty aids came around and took kids who had to go potty to the bathroom but other than that they were stuck. Even though there was very little chance anything could have happened the school did everything they could have done in case things did get out of control. Then last night we got one of those mass phone calls (where they make one call from the school to all parents) from the principal. She explained what had happened and what measures they'd taken. Then she went on to thank (and say how proud the staff was) of all the kids who remembered their drills, did exactly what they were supposed to do, and didn't panic and thanking us parents for not rushing to the school. That was the hard part, watching this going on and knowing I couldn't go over (I'd talked to my little adopted sis who lives about a block away from the school and knew the cops weren't letting them out while the chase was going on in that area.) I fully expected them (at least Dakota) to have been scared or upset, but they all came running out, Caleb, Kota, and the neighbor girl talkng over each other to tell me all about it. They were more excited about the thought of their school being on the news that scared, worried, or upset. Kids are quite amazing. 3. Darren has the whole weekend off so tomorrow we're taking it easy around the house, doing some chores, and vegging out. We're doing something Sunday with the kids but we haven't really decided what. The weathers supposed to be crappy so it'll be something indoors, maybe bowling or Chuck E. Cheese.

This is only my 3rd post on tvch (which I adore) but I thought a fitting day to react under this title. My Dad and Daughter are off to the cemetary to visit my Mom today would have been her 77th Birthday. We lost her 4 years ago. I was playing with my new toy (it's a Sidekick 2 ) When I connected with the once little flower girl in my wedding who is now becoming a wedding photographer herself. She was Married in New Orleans 2005 just before katrina hit. They were pretty lucky as they were living in kennar LA when it hit. They lost quite a bit of stuff but had good insurance that is really paying it back.

1. Welcome Pamznic! I hope you'll be posting with us more and more. I loved all that you shared with us this morning and you're right, this is one of the best threads to share moments such as yours. Please become a part of our little Factoid community. 2. Just a friendly helper to you with this particular thread. We number our facts about ourselves in this thread. Why? you may ask. Hmmm....I dunno, we just do and the fun part is that some Factoiders get playful and try to draw out the Factoid Schtickler...you know, sorta push the Factoid buttons...lol. 3. Anyway, back to your lessons. You'll see that Skootz did 4 facts, then Vacanick came along and added 4.1 to Skootz's facts. This tagging on with 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, etc...is tolerated by the schticklers who playfully monitor this thread. 4. Anyway, if you knew the Factoider rules, you would have posted 5 facts about you. That's what I'm going to do now...post 5 facts and the next poster who comes along will post 6 facts. If they know what's good for them...lol! (I just know these guys and someone's going to come along and mess up the numbering just to show you how we try to get the goat of the Factoid Schticklers around this thread...ahem!) 5. So Welcome Pamznic and please don't let my facts upset you in any way, that's not my intent. I truly want you to keep posting here and become a Factoider with the rest of us if you want to. I mention this because I scared away another potential Factoider who thought I was being a bit too strict. Really, this is a great thread and a fun thread. Watch out for those schticklers...lol!
