All good things must come to an end?

January 7, 2008 · Posted in family time · 4 Comments 

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.

Learning it over and over again!

January 3, 2008 · Posted in Blog · 8 Comments 

Why do we never learn that letting these girls have a sleepover is going to be a pain in the tukas? We do it every so often and swear we will never let them have one again. Then six months later her we are in the same annoying boat!

Don’t get me wrong, I love children, at least my children that is. It is almost 2am and they are still yipping and yapping in their respective rooms. I have threatened and grumbled and threatened again, but it just doesn’t stop.

I have some cool things to talk about but I can’t do it right now, they are driving me to distraction!

Call your congressman.

November 13, 2007 · Posted in Humor, Life · 8 Comments 

I say we all call our congressmen and see if we can’t get rid of this affliction that they call Monday. When I was younger I could never quite understand what all the fuss was about. Now that I am older, and hopefully wiser, I understand.

Mondays are evil. God made Tuesday through Sunday, but satan had his hand on Monday! (For some reason my spell checker wanted to capitalize satan, not gonna happen, I reserve that one for God and Jesus!) Anyway, I just hate Mondays. While I can’t get into all the reasons right now, suffice it to say that I have some darn good ones!

I am tossing around a couple of different ideas for Fry day, I am having a hard time deciding though. I am getting down to the nicer places on my list. Granted there are still some crap places on the list too, but some of them I am really looking forward to because I love ‘em!

K, going to bed now, nighty night!

What I did on my…

November 6, 2007 · Posted in For His glory, Random Thoughts · 4 Comments 

Today is day one of my two day suspension from work. It is due to my attendance, being sick a lot has made me miss a few days here and there. I’m not bitter, I am making the best of it and getting some things done around the house that I would normally put off until the end of time.

Oh and today is election day, I almost forgot. I should probably go vote so I can complain about the numbskull’s who got elected later. I am of the belief that if you don’t go and vote you have no right to complain about who gets elected. It’s not hard to do and usually only takes a few minutes to do. Unless of course everyone else decides that the perfect time to go to the polls is the same time you decide to go.

No eye has seen,
no ear has heard,
and no mind has imagined
the things that God has prepared
for those who love Him
1 Corinthians 2:9

How to ruin a weekend!

April 23, 2007 · Posted in Life · 1 Comment 

All you really have to do is be sick! Worked for me, whole weekend spent wanting to sleep. I didn’t get a darn thing done as evidenced by my uncut grass and the half done landscaping. Not sure what it is that I have. Started out feeling like a cold but soon progressed into a full blown feeling like crap illness by Friday! What made it worse is the fact that whatever it is my wife has it too so the children had to deal with two cranky sick people!

Next weekend is the annual transportation roadeo. As usual I have been volunteered to take photos. No big deal really but it is hard to keep track of all the names so you can remember who is in what shot. I just hope it doesn’t rain as that always makes it a pain in the rump. If it rains I have to set up inside my truck for downloading the photos since the shelters are not really all that good at keeping rain off the laptop!

I am still considering getting back into storm chasing. My wife is not too keen on this idea but it is something I really love to do. Mind you it is dangerous at times but I’m still here so far! I guess the key part is going to be convincing her that I will be safe! I have no idea how I am going to do that!
