Its been so long since I bothered to drop a few lines and I apologize. I doubt it will be much better for the rest of the summer though. To be honest, we are so busy running around and chasing ourselves that communicating with others hasn't been a priority.
Also, I got a new computer game, so the time that I spend on the computer has been spent playing it!!!!
We've reached the age where all of our girls are working and since it is summer, we hardly see each other. I'm not kidding. There was a two week period recently where I saw Little E for about 1 or 2 seconds a day.
With that said, we've had a little fun of late that I would like to at least mention.....
1. Little E spent a week in Orlando to start the summer. She was hanging with my sister.
2. We, Big E, Jessica and I, spent an awesome weekend at the lake with Big E's family. I want to say a big thanks to the hosts. I understand that there is a picture or two of me on an intertube being pulled behind a boat with Big E. If I find those pictures, I will share them (maybe?).
3. Brooke spent a week in Tennessee with her church group. I know she had a great time.
4. Jessica had her wisdom teeth pullled this week. I thought she was already challenged!!!
5. I got to go see a great concert with some friends here in Montgomery.
For the July 4th weekend, we actually took a little time off and did NOTHING. Amazing!! On Friday night, we went bowling (I whopped em all). We also discovered that our air conditioner was frozen up that night so no cooling the house. Thankfully, we were able to get a local company to come out and fill our unit with freon on Saturday (not cheap but worth every penny here in the south). On Sunday, we grilled some flank steaks and had fajitas for dinner.
Now, the latest thing keeping us busy, we are dealing with a whole new type of fun. Some jerk decided to steal some of our bills, from our mailbox, early in June. It wasn't enough that he stole the bills, he managed to change the name on one of the checks and actually CASHED it at the bank. Ouch!!!!
I spent about three hours at the bank this week working with them to explain the problem, file the appropriate paperwork and all of the rest of the effort. I spent another hour with the police going through the story and filing the appropriate paperwork with them, and I spent another hour or two talking with the impacted businesses that did not get their payment. Its too early to tell the outcome ... will we get our money back? will the police catch the person? how mad are the companies that they don't have their money yet?
I will keep everyone up to date though. I hope it ends with me publishing a mug shot of the jerk that caused the fun though.
Enough for now, Big E is outside grilling (yes, it is awesome that she is doing it not me) hamburgers so we can eat. See you!
