What a week I've had.
Renee came down with the baby on Sunday and when she was leaving on Wednesday, I convinced her to leave him with me for a few days to give herself a break. What a sweet thing he is. So pleasant! But, I forgot how hard it is with an infant. Having to time everything between naps. I can honestly say that when they came back to get him, in spite of how much I knew I was going to miss him, when they pulled out of the driveway I sighed a sigh of relief. I didn't have time to do anything while he was here. It was worth it, but I was exhausted.
Wesley Snyder, the man behind our mortgage debacle, had his sentencing trial last week. The national guidelines call for between 10 and 12 years in prison. The judge gave him 12 years and 2 months. Plus ordered him to pay restitution to all the victims. Not that that is going to happen. The money is gone. Either ill-spent or hidden in the Grand Caymans. I think, though, that this adds fuel to our case with the banks and the management company that was supposed to be monitoring him.
I've got a ton to do today before going back to work tomorrow. And, really, I feel like doing nothing. But, I wanted to post a quick update. But, my time's up so I'm outta here.
--Oh, and if you can believe it, I now have even more Japanese beetles than I had last week. I'm blessed.

I was in Pennsylvania traveling to and from Maine this past week. Do I remember correctly that you live in PA? If so, do you mind telling me the nearest big city to you? I drove on I-81 and I-78 going to Maine, then dropped down and passed through Reading, Lancaster, York, and Gettysburg on the return trip.
Reading is about an hour and fifteen minutes from me, York about an hour and a half.
Allentown is the closest...about 20 minutes.
hey Schell
Hi Emma
Schell, I recommend that you take a vacation. You know, get away for a week, leave it all behind and just relax.
Seriously, you should take this under consideration.
I went to Lancaster a week or so ago Resp, so we might have seen each other on the highway.
Schell, i wish you could take bert up on his suggestion. I'm soexcited, i'm going to california for christmas break and i plan to do a little as possible.
