So there I was, reading a note from my wife...I was home for lunch, just got up from my 45 minute nap...

Oh heres the cordless phone...Better put that on the charger before I leave...

"Kids,

Homework is to be done right away when you get home, you can have an apple for a snack. I will be home at 5.

Robert,

Make sure you unlock the back door incase the kids forgot their keys today...

Love,
Mom"

Ok well...I better unlock the back door.

Crap! Im running late...Better go.




I realized I was still holding the phone in my hand when I went to start my car...

So the phone took a field trip with me to work(dont tell anybody).

Big storm in my neck of the woods...We got about 6 inches of snow with a layer of ice on the bottom. Hopefully work will be dead today...

I almost hit a light pole on my way to take the kids to school...They were freaking out and screaming...But I remained calm and avoided it.

Fun.

Hey, Im in a little bit of a rush to start work this morning. So lets keep it short.

Hauled a bunch of wood for the mom in law to have enough for the weekend.

Drove home yesterday through some nasty fog.

Generally Im in a good mood this morning.

Have a good day.

That was the best thankgiving Ive had in recent memory....

Everythign was perfect...Except I burned the bisquits just alittle bit, but they were still yummy...MMMM and my turkey I made in a garlic, onion and butter rub...MMMMMM Juicy...My wife said I should make the turkey every year. I was so proud of myself when she said that...I had anxiety over that turkey all day.

And the pies were yummy too...Perfect.

Everything was nice and quiet all day....I played computer games with the kids while I cooked...

Perfect, perfect, perfect!

Tonight I goto my mother in laws :^P

Only one link for you today...But its a good one...Kept me entertained for hours last night until I fell asleep.


The Movies: Movies

I got all the trimmin's I need for tomorrow:

Turkey
Cranberry Sauce
Potatoes
Stuffing
Corn
Yams
Pies
Gravy

I think I got everything I need. Im cooking tomorrow you see, and unlike everyother thanksgiving its just going to be me and my immeadiate family...I just sighed with relief.

Ahhhhh.

Have a nice holiday everyone.

I for one cannot wait until the xbox360 comes out.

Why you ask? Not because I want to buy one. I want to buy a normal xbox, after all I dont have one yet. Then Im gonna put a 300 gb hard drive in it, mod it for pirated games, and get a copy of 300 gigs of xbox game roms from my good ole' pal Adam.

Its gonna be sweet, and hopefully less than 200 bucks...

ACK! some days I hate my stupid hair. I walked by a window or some other reflectory object today and my hair is sticking right up! I washed and brushed it this morning and everything...Must have got messed up when it was wet and then just kept right on going that way until I caught it.

Im going to fix it now.

Blech.

Hey, sorry I havent updated...Not really because I have no time...More so because I have alot on my mind.

See Im making some decisions that could effect me and my family for a long time.

But Im tired of getting angry everyday at work.

Im tired of being up late nights worrying about what I should have done that day and couldnt get done because my workload is insane.

Im tired of feeling as though I cant goto my boss and talk to him.

Im tired of it.

I want out.

No links this friday, sorry.

Is it boring to talk about sleep? I know I was trying to be more upbeat...

I hate sleep. I love sleep. Its a classic. Whenever I sleep more than say 6 hours, I always feel like Im sleeping too much, And to support that theory I always, always get nightmares after that much sleep.

And ever since daylight savings has begun I have been wanting to goto bed early, but then I wake up at 3 in the morning and its a bad scene cause I pace the house for awhile and then have fitful sleep for a few hours until the alarm clock starts going off. But I feel like I need more sleep...More sleep...Maybe its from being married.

Ok with that Im off to bed...

Ive been thinking all weekend about my depressing posts. I dont want to look back when I read these and think,"Gee, I sure was being negative that day.", so what Im thinking is Ill change the time the time I blog to evenings...

Perhaps then Ill be a bit more upbeat.

See you tonight.

Friday.

It would be nice except I have to come into work on Saturday and set up some ladies laptop who lives 100 miles away and is trying to work through vpn. YET SHE HAS NO MODEM INSTALLED!

How'd that happen? I wonder who built her laptop and is responsible for me coming in on a Saturday?

anyway, Ive been ranting too much around here. From this page its starting to look like Im the most unhappy person in the world....Which I am not.

See

:^)

Happy

Double standards...I hate them.

Listen to this: My wife made a pumpkin cake last night (I bought the supplies). And I goto have a giant piece of it (Granted 1/4th of the cake, but only twice as much as any kid got). And she starts yelling at me. "You dont need to eat that much."

Well excuse me. Im sorry, I thought that by buying the food and paying the rent for the oven that entitled me to whatever I want. I must have gotten confused with my domestic sovereinty.

Do you know what words would come out of her mouth if I told her "You dont NEED to eat that.", I do and its somnething along the lines of "F you,who the hell do you think you are?" And she would be right too.

Thats why I dont tell her whats OK for her to eat.

I ate the pumpkin cake anyway, meanwhile grumbling, "I bought the damn cake, Ill eat as much of it as damn well pleases me." And showered my wife with "I dont think you need to eat that."s and "Is this ok for me eat honey?"s all night.

Mumble, Grumble.

2 part post today.

This first part is not a personal attack. I repeat it is not a personal attack.

Its really hard for me to care about my job and my place of business when my boss doesnt care...I dont really know what his problem has been lately but it seems not caring about anything is the new status quo. I dont like not caring. Id rather care a whole lot. I wish my boss and my company would make that easier for me. Instead of making me view this place as just a paycheck. Its helpful to one's outlook on life to care about their place of employment, to feel like part of a team, to be a part of something bigger. Something great.

Im just not getting that anymore.

And then nextly, I had a bad doughnut yesterday. It tasted like pure preservatives...The packaging said it would be good until nov 11, I wonder if that meant nov 11 of this year or another year past.

Nasty, nasty, nasty.

Poor Dave Schultz took a bite(for testing purposes) then immediately spit it in the garbage and started eating grass like on a bugs bunny cartoon. (Actually there was no grass available, If there had been I would have been eating it first.)

That doughnut was grosser than the soap I ate the day before. And please no gratuitous grass jokes(ASA!).

Yesterday, while shaving, I ate soap. I had a bad day yesterday. Not only did the soap eating cause an uproar in my bowels. But my wife invited the kids biological father newly free from incarceration over for dinner.

Great.

But back to the soap. OMG. I felt like a hollow soap man all day, bowel movement after bowel movement. UGH. I dont think thats what they mean by cleaning out the colon but let me assure you that by about 6 PM last night I was cleaned out better than I wanted to be.

And the other thing just sorta annoyed me all night. Im the one who does all the work, Im the one making sure their hair is combed and they are getting their homework done. Im the one paying the rent, grocery and misc bills. He hasnt paid one dime in 2 years...Why are we feeding him and giving him cookies?

Id like to hit him with a hammer, repeatedly.

Nothing is better than putting together a 180 piece futon from chinese directions over the weekend is it?

YES! ANYTHING! But the bed is now together and Stephen(14) can now sleep without his feet hanging over the edge. If the kids would just quit getting bigger then I swear those twin beds I bought for them years ago would still fit.

I especially hated the springy thingy.

Anybody want a cat? My friend tony is trying to get rid of one...Meow. He says it has 6 toes. Meow.

Also, Im very glad its Friday. Meow.
