The Ramblings Of Jenn Shuey

I’ve been so out of the loop this week I didn’t know this week is the murder trial of our family friend who was murdered last year on Valentine’s Day.  Missy was a great woman, and I’ll be interested to see what happens to her husband as he stands trial.  He not only murdered his wife, he shot her in the back with their 8 year old son watching, so I hope they throw the book at him.

Normally I’d be all for the death penalty in this situation, but our friendship with Missy has me thinking in another direction.  The death penalty would be the easy way out for him.  I want him to rot in jail forever. Hubby and I agreed if he could get off work and I didn’t have the baby we’d be sitting there in the court room, but I’ll have to deal with reading the news stories and waiting on info from friends and family.

I do have a good bit of stuff to do today.  For starters I’ve got to figure out where the heck I’m going to come up with the cash to pay this horribly high power bill.  I just don’t get how they can get away with gouging people like this!  I mean my power bill is almost $300, and we have wood heat!  I know people who have bills well over $500, and it’s all over the news about it.

Then I’m going to try to get the baby outside again for a bit.  As long as the weather is nice I can postpone my search for diets that work. We’re going to get out and walk everyday and enjoy the weather. Tomorrow is supposed to be cold and rainy, so I definitely want to get out today while we can. We’ll probably venture over to see my Grandparents again, and I may leave Elliana there for a bit while I run back home and get some housework done. I know I have a baby, so I have an excuse for a messy house, but this week it’s driving me crazy. If I don’t do that I’ll end up scrubbing what I can during her next nap.

Speaking of naps this one didn’t last long.  She’s starting to stir, so I better get off here before she decides to wake up!
