So funny story here...

Awhile ago I got a letter in the mail stating that someone had been arrested with my pertinent information. Checked my credit, nothing came of it. Then when I worked for DCFS, I went to the jail to speak to a client. As I was telling this women she had lost her child, a big security guard came and got me and had me go back to the front. Now if any of you have visited the SL County jail, you know it is about a 5 minute walk from where you speak to the inmates and where you check in. I'm scared, the big security isn't talking, and remember I've only been working for DCFS for a few months. Come to find out there was an inmate currently checked in with my same name and somehow they had checked me in as her. We got it organized, but it was weird.She was in jail for identity theft and was spending over 1 year there. I found out some other information about her- she has defaulted her student loans (I got the letter), she has had children removed from her care, she had been to drug rehab. You know, a real winner. It's not fun to get mistaken as Misty Starr.

Who would have known there was another Ernest with the same last name out there, and he is from Utah too. He is also applying to dental school this year, and some of the schools my Ernie applied to have mixed up their applications. Ernest (the alter ego) called last night as one of the schools returned our check to him, stating he had already paid. And another school had stuck my Ernie's info in alter ego's folder. Nice huh, so my Ernie is calling all of the schools to make sure they are getting the right info in the right file.

That's our story. At least Ernie's alter ego has a good record. What's funny is neither of us have common names, yet we are mistaken as these other people. Does anyone else have a funny alter ego story?

Abby, Abby, Abby

So EVERYTHING Abby says is the funniest thing in the world, truly she makes me laugh everyday. I've been really bad at writing them down and remembering them. Here are a few fom this week!

Abby likes to come into our bed in the middle of the night. One night she was kind of awake, and I was just getting to bed. I asked her why she has to come in our bed, she replied, "I just can't help it" Can you blame her, snuggling with mom is much better than snuggling with her Aunt.

Then we were all wrestling on the bed a few days later. I was calling Abby a stinker for tickling me and she replied, "I'm the boss of all stinkers!" Yes she is!
