Private Eye

I promised myself if I could get the baby down and the kids occupied I would write a blog.

Something to divulge the mad detective skills I've been acquiring over the years.

Yesterday the long awaited postcards from the Elementary school came in the mail to reveal who the girls would have as teachers for this upcoming year.  I too, was anticipating the information so I could process who they were and what kind of influence they would be on my 2 precious daughters.

With the last names finally in hand.  I hit the internet.  Starting simple with accessing the isd website for their full names and then googling.  I was shocked that one teacher came up with her name being attached to another persons blog.  Easy enough.  I found her name listed as a comment and then linked her to her own "info" page on blogger.  There I found out she lived in my county and had recently had her first baby in March.  And much to my pleasure a picture of her and her family.  This revealed a ton.  A picture was my main goal, so I could show the girls what their teacher looked like.

The other teacher was just as easy.  I found her attached to another friends FB account.  And surprisingly she hadn't made her FB account private.  So her life was an open book.  We looked through photos, read past comments, found her link to her family blog and continued from there.

But I'd have to say my favorite Sherlock Holmes moment was when I found the home addresses on www.whitepages.com of each teacher and then looked them up by our county website to see the public records on their homes which includes their property taxes, assessed values, and tons of more details you'd be shocked people could read about.

So what does this say about me?
Nosey?  Yes.
Protective?  Yes.
Skilled?  Most definitely

Just be grateful I didn't go through certain avenues to see if they or their spouses had criminal backgrounds.

Because I did think about.
