an interesting twist to a story from carlisle…

In February of this year, a Carlisle woman was reportedly shot and left inside her home which was set ablaze following a home-invasion/burglary attempt by two unidentified young men. The story has changed now, as police have taken the victim, Mary Willoughby [alias of Mary White, according to WKYT] into court, facing charges of falsifying a police report, and second degree facilitation to arson.
Mary plead not guilty before the court, and neither her attorney nor herself are making further comment.

plans for the day…

Looks like I’m gonna skip out on class tonight. Why? I’m busy doing housework.
On Sunday morning Diana discovered her little niece had lice. So, I’ve been doing laundry. I’ve got all the bedding, and several pieces of kids furniture to wash. What joy. Oh, yeah, and I’ve got to do this while watching the kid. Even more fun.
After I picked up the little girl this morning, I put her in the tub, and treated her hair. As soon as I finished I threw all the clothes in her diaper bag, and the bag itself into the wash. Later on, I’ll pick the sis-in-law up from work, give her ten bucks, and take her to the pharmacy to get her some shampoo, and I’ll offer to take her laundry to wash.
And, somewhere along the line, I need to find time to do homework.
Hope your day is going better than mine.

i'm still tired…

it’s too early… i’m tired… anyways…
Diana ( ) just called a few minutes ago to catch me up on a few things… well, she also ran across an accident in Bourbon Co. on Russell Cave… she’s gonna call me back in a few, once she gets turned around…
anyone wanna take bets on it being weather related?
UPDATE: (7:47am) Diana called back, and it wasn’t an accident, but a flooded bridge in this area. Not surprising…
UPDATE: (7:54am) Diana just called to inform me that in Fayette County, Police have reduced traffic along US 27 (south-bound lane between Paris and Lexington) to one lane, as water from a nearby creek is backing into the road.

i'm tired…

Thunderstorms.
I’m sitting in bed, reading my email, and catching up on the day which passed me by, as I hear rain tap against the window and see the occasional flash of lightning trhough the window. Oh, how I wish I didn’t have to get up early tomorrow morning (or this morning as the case may be, by the time I finish writing). I’d love to just sit there and watch the storm, but I can’t. I have to get up in the morning to take Diana’s sister in for work.
I hadn’t spent a minute on the computer until a couple of hours ago. I had been caring for kids for the majority of the day, and made a trip to the in-laws this afternoon. An unusual day, but quite nice, actually.
One thing which upset me about the day was that where I had gone unplugged for the majority, I hadn’t known that we had been placed under a flood warning for Saturday morning. That was shocking news for me, as the last I had heard was to pretty much expect river road to be under (as always). Now, I come to hear that there may be more–not much, but still…
So, once I learned that, I went you know where, and updated the site to show a different tone. I also popped a slideshow of pics taken on March 20, 2002, to help illustrate what can be expected, as the forecasted flooding is roughly the same. I also went through all those pics and tried to give them approximate locations (i don’t dare say exact, as google likes to publish coordinates). I doubt if it helps anybody, but hey, ya never know…
Now that I’ve gotten that done, I’m heading to bed. Maybe I can find time to finish reading my emails and get my homework done (which is what I had intended to do!!!) sometime tomorrow.
