I just discovered something very disturbing. (And no it wasn't that someone had surfed into the Ormonds.net site looking for beaded chest hair...although that is disturbing) I just found out we have a registered sex offender living in the apartments next door. I don't know the man nor have I ever seen him. At least I don't think I have. In the picture on the site he has a goatee and is wearing glasses. He could have changed his appearance who knows? He was convicted of attempted sex abuse of a child in 1995. It says that his targets are male child/minor. I have to say this makes me extremely nervous. I checked the registry a while ago and he wasn't there, although there was a guy that a went to high school with and knew somewhat well. I know that people can change and I don't want to cause problems for him but what do I do? Should I let the other people in the neighborhood be aware? I definitely know that I will be watching Jona walk to and from school from now on and that when George goes to a friends house to play I will be asking that they call me when he leaves so that I can watch out the window. I am just SO nervous. Like I said I don't know the man...he obviously keeps pretty well to himself....I don't even know if he is married or what. I just looked at the page and it looks like he has been there for over a year! Man. I just don't know. I hate that we have to deal with stuff like this. It doesn't even say if this guy served time or not. Like I said I am nervous and disturbed that I didn't catch this earlier. We have seventeen registered offenders in our town. If you have a chance and your state has a sexual offender registry I highly suggest you check it and check it often. I know that I will be doing so monthly from now on.
Happy 9th Anniversary to my wonderful husband!
Tyran I just want you to know what a wonderful time these years have been. I know that we go through our struggles and hard times but the good times far outweigh the hard ones. You are my best friend. I can tell you anything. You know all there is to know about me and yet you still love me and accept me. I am so glad that you are there to help me and to listen to me when I am struggling. You are the most important person in my life. I love you with all my heart. Happy Anniversary. I am looking forward to eternity. xoxoxox
Not too much happening here. Just trying to stay cool and not throw up. We had a nice Fourth of July, spent time with both Ty's family and mine. Ate a bunch and watched fireworks. It was nice. I had a quick visit from my cousin, Greg and his wife and adorable kids on Saturday. They live in Arizona and we don't get to see them as much as we would like to. That is one of the many reasons that I wish we had more money so that we could travel and visit the people that I don't get to see as much as I would like. I would go to Arizona to see my cousins down there and one of my best friends from high school. I would also go up to Montana to visit a dear friend there. Most of my family live within 10 minutes to a half an hour from me so I guess I'm lucky that way. I just wish I could see those people that don't live close more often. Plus it would just be really nice to travel...that's something that I have always dreamt of doing. There are so many places that I would love to go and see and experience. Maybe one day I will get to do that.
I heard sirens this morning close by so I called over to mom and dad's to make sure everything was okay. Nobody answered. Mom finally called back to say that the ambulance had been at a house right around the corner from theirs. A boy in the neighborhood had a seizure and they took him over to the hospital with lights and sirens. I hope that everything is okay. He is the son of the fire chief. I always worry whenever I hear a siren that comes close to our area. We know most of the people within a 5 or 6 block radius pretty well...so it can be pretty nerve wracking when they get close. Plus my dad doesn't have that great of health but I figure if something happens to dad or mom the phone will ring and they will let me know. At least I hope that is what would happen.
Do you know what else I wish we had extra money for would be a maid service. Especially when I feel so crappy. I can get a little bit done at a time but it's never as much as I would like. *sigh* Oh well.
