I got my phone back

That's right! What are the chances of getting an iPhone back! Well apparently after my lovely husband sent a text to the phone stating he reported it stolen and was going to track it down she thought twice. She started trying to call people in my contact list to say she had the phone and wanted to give it to me.

Her unlikely story was that she didn't want to give it to security at the museum because she didn't trust them. Uh huh.

Anyway, we met up with her tonight and she gave me my phone back. I don't really know for sure what her reasoning was, but all I know is I'm now not out $200 to replace the phone! Whew.

Attn B1t@h who stole my iPhone at @DenverMuseumNS #thief #iphone #icurseyou

Is your life really that pathetic that you had to steal my iPhone?  Really?  10 minutes.  That's all it took.  My Annie was being a big girl, using the potty, and I forgot I set it down in all the commotion of trying to potty train her, showing her proper hygiene, washing her hands.  I ran back to the restroom, but you had already been there and stolen it.

While I am teaching my children to grow up with morals, care about other people, and have respect for property, you are out there teaching them a lesson, too.  Shame on you!!!!  What are you going to do with it?  Sell it for a few bucks on ebay?  Well save the money, because I'm sure that some day you'll need it for bail money, you loser!

And I'm putting a mother's curse on you!  That's right, I may not be your mother (and you're lucky I'm not because I would BEAT YOUR ASS for stealing) but I'm putting the curse on you!  You may have caused me a minor irritation of having to replace my phone, but one day you will look back on everything you've done in your life and you'll remember me and that day at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science, and you will feel regret.  Yes, it is just a phone, but you will feel bad about your behavior and your lack of morals.  You will be ashamed of your actions, and rightly so.

So go sell the phone on ebay or look through all of my personal information, texts with my husband, whatever it is you feel the need to do because you are pathetic.  Go ahead.  Remember, what comes around goes around.

Oh, and if you do end up with a conscience and decide to do the right thing, drop it off at the Commerce City Police Department, where my husband IS A COP and is tracking the phone anyway!  ;)

Taking the kids out for the day

Today I am taking he kids out in public. We haven't really gone anywhere in a couple weekends. I told them my expectations for their behavior. We'll see how it goes.

I've been reading HAVE A NEW KID BY FRIDAY so it'll be interesting. Hopefully it won't end in a sea of tears (and I mean mine)!

There's a frying pan in my bed

Yes, there is a frying pan in my bed.  I didn't put it there.  Annie put it there.  She carried it around with her for 2 hours after dinner.  Then she came up to my room and brought it in bed.  For me, this was a choose your battles moment.  She wasn't swinging it.  She just set her stuffed puppy baby in it.  I guess it made a better chair than the basket she was using yesterday.


I just carried her to her crib, but I didn't put the pan in there with her.  No doubt she'll wake up in the middle of the night crying for it.  She loves to cuddle with things.  It's just that usually they're soft and cuddly, not cold and hard.  Go figure.


All of my children are so unique and different.  But Aniella just beats to the tune of her own drummer.  She is by far the most free thinking.  She cracks me up.

For all the women who dare age!

I thought I would post this again now that the holidays are over. For all the women who dared to age and gain a few pounds, read Carrie Fishers response to all the hatred. It's priceless.

I found another reason to never put my phone down

So I was checking out different ereaders and wow they are expensive! I just couldn't justify spending so much money. The books may be cheaper and i'm sure it's easier to carry an ereader around in my purse than another bag, but it's still a lot of money up front.

But while I was checking out the differences between them, I came across the barnes and noble ereader iPhone app! And it's FREE! I now have access to all the ebooks b&n offers and every book I purchase is stored on my online account. I can also now download their free app for my computer so I can continue to read on my computer if I want.

However! I love to go to book stores and I really love the new library built in my town. It has a large room for he kids to play and a huge fireplace to read in front of. I just hope I don't look to silly surrounded by beautiful books while I read on my iPhone!

The Ride-Along was awesome!

Wow I'm so exhausted! Had an awesome night on my ride-along with Nick.  He found drugs on a traffic stop, had a guy at gunpoint, (I didn't like that part), we ran code to shots fired (he drove really really REALLY fast), arrested a guy with a warrant, detoxed a drunk guy, and kissed me at midnight. ;) And just in case you were wondering, there is NOTHING sexier than my husband in his uniform sneaking down the street with an Assault Rifle. Ha Ha! Happy New Year Everyone!

Going on a Ride-along

Tomorrow is new year's eve. I have never cared about new year's eve and tomorrow isn't any different. I usually stay hidden away from all the drunk drivers and can't even remember the last time I made it to midnight!

But tomorrow I'm going on a ride along with hubby. He works graves. I'm really looking forward to it. The grandparents are coming over to stay with the kiddies. It's also their last night here. They are driving back to California Friday morning. That should make for a pretty interesting day. After I wake up tomorrow morning to go to work, I won't get to sleep again until Friday morning.

But with four kids, doubt I'll get much sleep. The kids are going to be in heaven though when I tell them they get to play xbox ALL DAY! I think that'll be my only chance! At least I'll have all weekend to recover!

Preparing for another day with the parents

Yesterday wasn't as bad.  Mom didn't pick on me, but frankly much of the damage has already been done.  Maybe I'm being selfish.  Nick and I don't get very much time to ourselves.  Of course I look forward to seeing my parents, but I also look forward to being able to spend time with my husband, without the children.  He has tonight off, and I don't think we'll be able to do anything together!

I did, however, decide that I AM going to go on a ride-along with him on New Year's Eve whether my parents watch the kids or not. I have a backup plan (thanks Kym)!

And now I'm trying to think of something for all of us to do today, sans Nick, who got home from his shift at 7:30am!  He needs some sleep.  

Thanks for listening to me vent!

I guess Al Gore is right. Global warming is going to kill us!

Plants use carbon dioxide to make oxygen
People breathe oxygen and make carbon dioxide
If we cut carbon dioxide, plants will die because there is not enough to keep them healthy
If plants die because there is not enough carbon dioxide, they won't produce oxygen
If there is no oxygen, we will die.

I guess Gore is right.  Global warming is going to kill us!
