Lucy Johnson

It took many months but, investigators finally found enough evidence to put the murderer of my friend and co-worker behind bars. This killer was granted bond until his trial last week by North Carolina Superior Court Judge Richard Boner. To him, every citizen of the United States is innocent until proven guilty. Judge Boner apparently didn't take into consideration the fear of all of the 18 women that have come forward since Michael Mead's arrest to say they too, live in fear of this inhumane monster. Lucy's gone. She can't speak for herself. Please. I am begging for anyone that reads this to sign the petition to place Michael Lane Mead back in jail for Lucy's sake. I am posting a petition site that her family and the citizens of Gaston County have placed for Lucy's justice and to put Michael Mead back where he belongs.

Cassidy had to have this mysterious creature that hatched from an egg while we were shopping at Target the other day. Before agreeing to buy it I made her tell me in detail how my 15 year old daughter planned to play with such a toy. She told me that she wanted to pose the strange creature in different places throughout the house and then take his picture. As a surprise, Remi and I made these pictures just for Cassidy. He's actually a real fun toy for all ages. Especially someone in their thirties.

Braids

It took an act of Congress but this morning I was able to put two braids in Remi's hair. Its been three hours and their still intact. Wow.......Wow!

The Frog Prince

The babies have been sick for the better part of this week with hardcore flu-like symptoms. Yuck and Blah! Between the both of them, Sydney has had a harder time dealing with her illness. She's never been sick so being blasted with fever, a horrendous cough, and constant nasal congestion proved to be just enough to throw her over the edge of flu tolerability. This was mainly because she couldn't suck her thumb and breathe at the same time.

On Thursday I drove to the Super Target to stock up on some ibuprofen, tissues, and tylenol. While I was in the cough and cold medication section of the store I spotted a frog. It was a real working humidifier that someone with an exceptionally high intelligence aptitude had created in the shape of a damn frog....no joke. I bought him on impulse without reading any reviews. I figured if he sucked at humidifying the air we could put him outside under a tree to serve as a yard gnome or the babies could use him for target practice. The possibilities are endless. The babies love him, especially Remi and he seems to be doing a good job at tackling the dry air in our bedroom.

Today Remi felt well enough to ask for a large chicken supreme pizza and a 2 liter Pepsi to be delivered to our house in 15 minutes or less. When it arrived she put four large slices onto her Dora plate. She pulled one tiny piece of chicken from one of the slices and ate it. She then proclaimed that her tummy was full and proceeded to stumble back to the sofa to curl up with her favorite blankie.

Like Mommy Like Daughter

This morning as Moneybags was leaving for work he said his usual goodbye to Remi. Most of the time she responds with a "bye daddy". Not today though.

Moneybags: Bye Remi.

Remi: Bye Daddy.

Moneybags proceeds to open the door leading to the garage. Just as the door is about to close..........

Remi: Daddy? DAAAAADDDDY!

Moneybags: Yes Remi?

Remi: We need MONEY!
