Hey guys and welcome to the Moms and Murder podcast.

A true crime podcast featuring myself, Mandy, and my dear friend Melissa.

Hi, Melissa.

Hi, Mandy.

How are you?

I'm doing great.

How are you?

Doing pretty good things.

It's a holiday weekend.

It is a holiday weekend, a long weekend.

It is. I mean, days are long for me anyway. So this is one way to celebrate it. It was so funny.

I don't know if you saw this week. I posted on Instagram some post that was like about time and how you don't understand that how time works

after being alive for three decades and stuff. Somebody tagged us in it. And I was like,

that's 100%. That's our entire introduction every week. It's just, I can't believe it's insert

month. I can't believe it's this close to this holiday. That's like our whole, our go-to.

Yeah. You're nothing, if not, not original. For sure, for sure. Yeah, I know. I mentioned a couple weeks ago, I was so excited. My kids were finally in school. Things were going great. And then, of course, boom, the second week we were in school, we promptly all got sick. So my kids, they have been out of school for the tail end of this last week.

I'm so ready for you to go back to school. Like, oh my goodness. Yeah, looking forward to, I guess, the extra day this weekend. I feel like it's just a continuation of an already very, very long week that I've had.

Right.

It's just a continuation of an already very,

very long week that I've had. Right. It's just another day for people to ask you, what are we doing today? Exactly. And expecting you to have like a whole printout of a list of new

ideas that they didn't come up with themselves. I totally get it. Yeah, we've all been

sick here for going on two weeks. And Mandy and I, like, it's funny because neither one of us, we haven't been around each other and we're both sick, which just tells you it's the beginning of the school. It's going around. Yeah. Yeah. It's just the crud that just keeps circling in our house. So hopefully we're on the men. Yes. Yeah. So if we sound a little different this week, we waited to the last possible minute to record in hopes that our voices were, you know, as good as they can be. And yes, this is as good as they can be. So you're welcome, number one. And number two, we're sorry. Yeah. All right. So we'll get right into it. If you thought
