Lazy Days

I have to enjoy them while I can. I think that the last few weekends of this month are going to be spent working to get a couple of project orders out. Today I have sat on my butt and just zoned. Kids are being fed though. Don't worry about them

Mikey is watching Nick Jr, and I have the USA v. England World cup match on in the gamecast mode from ESPN. Gabby is eating, and I hope that she will want to go down for another nap in about an hour... That will allow me to rest even more. Maybe even take a nap.

In other news, my wife thinks I don't read her blog... HEHEHEHE...

Prayers,

Memorial Day

I know it is a week late, but the memorial day holiday was awesome. I took out the Pelican canoe and was able to fish a bit. Spent the day with my mom, wife sister and the kids. It was just great to get out there and enjoy the freedoms people are fighting and have fought so hard to protect.

Thank you to all who have served and the families who have sacrificed with you.

BLAH BLAH BLAH

This really just has been an odd week so far. I had been extremely productive at work, until today. Everything that could go wrong did, but I still managed to get a lot done. Notes not matching what was built, not matching templates... connectors not fitting connections... Software acting great... AHHH the joys of being an electronics technician... It is still better than being a Wal Mart Associate... Wal Mart... ARGH!

Despite today being an arduous journey through the 1st level of hell, it was a better day than my best day at Wal Mart... ARGH Wal Mart. The night has been awesome so far though... Dinner and a thunderstorm. What could be better...

I'm betting on Smelly Cat Fibi, but praying I am wrong...

I AM WRONG! YEAH Lee... You beat Smelly Cat Fibi... I wonder if Obama's money was on her?

HAHAHAHA!

Peace...

Fatherhood

Off on a sidebar... I posted this without text today... Pretty neat of me huh?

I love being a father. My two little kids are growing so fast. Michael is going to be a little man before I know it, and Gabby is getting more and more beautiful by the day... Where has the time gone?

I think that my biggest concern is that some of the best friends I have ever had are missing them growing up. I am wondering though, which is more important? Having my family see my kids grow up, or having my good friends miss them growing up. You would think with technology the way it is that it would be possible for both to watch them grow up...

I am just wondering though... How much do you share via technology to allow your friends the opportunity to watch your kids grow? My daddy instinct says as little as necessary... My pride says share everything because nothing will happen to you.... Dilemmas... if this is the worst one I face for the next week I really am sitting pretty...

I Love It!

And by it, I mean my new job. It is awesome. I am using my head and the skills that I learned from the military to build something that is actually being used. I guess after the treatment I received at my last two jobs I have forgotten what it was like to be treated like a human with skills and talents that should be used. I had gotten so tired of fighting for others and myself, I did not notice I was being treated like garbage. Man do I know the difference now.

This new company actually appreciates me. They are letting me think and create a little bit. I am able to make their products more maintenance friendly, and aesthetically pleasing to the eye. The engineers are not offended or upset when I do this, they actually appreciate it, especially if things work when I am done altering them. So far so good as far as that goes.

I am loving life again. There for a while I was feeling like I was doomed to be in the retail run around for the rest of my life. This company took a chance on me, and so far all parties involved are happy that they did. Now I just need to get back to school. Jonah and I are getting some debt we acquired while I was a cartpusher paid off, and then I will resume my degree pursuits. I am leaning towards Thomas Edison State College. They are a distance education college out of New Jersey, and they offer a lot of good programs. Any number of them I could complete very quickly...

I LOVE MY NEW LIFE!

Criminal Minds

I tried to convince my wife that this was a good show, but she would not believe me. Then there was an episode that changed her mind. Now she is addicted to it like a bad drug or something, and I am her pusher... HEHEHEHE... I guess husbands can be bad influences after all.

I really am not sure what it is about the show that I like so much, but I do know that I like it too. I like the way that they profile behavior and are able to paint a picture of what a criminal is like. It is like a behavior puzzle that they are able to solve... sometimes they have the box to look at, but most times there is some kind of twist... like an unexpected assistant, or two killers in one person's body.

It is a nice escape from reality I guess. I think that you have to turn your mind off for a little bit each day, and Criminal Minds allows me that escape.

AARGH

My little girl is driving me nuts... I think I know why a lot of male mammals eat their children... I know that I need to be patient and loving with her, but she is such a little chimp some days... Most days...

Today, she spent the entire day crying. Tylenol... No work. Noni's house... No work... Sleep... No work... Food... No Work... Momma... No work... Finally tonight at about 9:00 she went into her crib with no complaint... Peace and quiet...

Surprisingly her brother went down at about the same time with little or no struggle...

Long day... peaceful night...
