Well, school is back in session tomorrow, while I would love to say I am happy about that, I’m not really. It has been awesome to have some time with my girls. That is just something I don’t normally get while they are in school since I work second shift. Sure they might drive me crazy once in awhile and I have very little free time when they are out of school but those are sacrifices that I am willing to make. Getting to bond with the two coolest little girls around, and having time with my wife since she took vacation too, it was great.

On the semi-bright side, I will be able to blog more again, but is that really a worthwhile thing? Being there when my girls need me, that is worthwhile! Holding their hands in mine, playing games, those are the things that make the day a lot brighter. I may joke about their being the spawn of satan, but really, they are mine through and through. Good or bad, there is no denying that they have taken on some of my characteristics.

Desi can be as sweet as honey but turn bitter when things don’t quite work out the way she wanted. Anna, she is a brooder, she will sit and stew in her own juices until well done or just break down and cry for little or no reason. There are days when I can look at both of them and see a reflection of me at their age. Those are the days that can really hurt me too. I don’t want them to have to deal with things that I did, I want to get them through the rough patches without them being affected in a negative way. Sure we all have to learn life lessons, but I want to protect them from the harder ones if at all possible. I want the best for them and nothing less will do.

I really want to hold on to the times we share, you know, save time in a bottle, but my bottle lost it’s stopper a long time ago. Seems like some of the good stuff leaks out now. That is the reason I blog and photograph when all else fails I will still have these records to remind me of all the fun we had and all the troubles. To some my writing may seem mindless drivel but to me, it is priceless, something to hold together the strands of time so they don’t get away from me. Sometimes I feel like the guy chasing his kite down the beach, that string is just slightly out of reach, bobbing and weaving and trying to elude me at every twist and turn.

With that I bid you a good night may God bless you richly and eternally.

My heart’s like an open book
For the whole world to read
Sometimes nothing-keeps me together
At the seams

Let’s see if anyone knows what song that comes from, maybe Linda? It has been a harsh week so far. Work is crazy, the world is crazy, heck the only sane thing I have seen so far is myself! No wait, strike that, my psychologist would disagree!

Speaking of my Psych. He is referring me for testing for ADD, well there’s a big surprise. I have been asking about the possibility for awhile now and no one would pay attention. I still think it may be the reason that even though I am being treated for my depression I am fighting with symptoms that could be from either disease. It really would be nice to lead a semi-normal life for once instead of feeling like a runaway train most of the time!

I am hoping to be back to a normal schedule here soon. As I said, work has been crazy. We’ve been really busy and being able to work in several different areas has played to my disadvantage lately. I don’t know whether I am coming or going most of the time. As long as I get my work done in a timely manner, I guess I should be happy.

Hey does anyone know how to get gravy out of a keyboard? I just dropped some in from my yummylicious frozen dinner.

Just two more things!

1) I want my camera back now dear, I really am missing having it with me!
2) No really, can I have my camera now?

Peace out yo! Catch ya on the flip side. (OW I think I just spanned a couple generations with that)

I have the second Scavenger hunt list up and ready for you. I hope we get more people trying it out this time. The last one had only three people try, two if you don’t count me.

The only thing that happened during the weekend other than the storm was I got a new dog. A Jack Russel Terrier, or as I have come to affectionately call it, a chew on everything then pee on it terrier. I feel sorry for it cause you have to put it in a cage at night or it will chew up everything it can get it’s mouth around, including electrical cords. It is cute and very affectionate, plus it is the first animal I have had in awhile that actually seems to like me.

I could probably drone on about nothing for a few more paragraphs but I think I will just stop here and let you get out there and start taking pictures!
