"Murphy was an optimist!"
From the Mouths of Babes May 30, 2004 8:37 am
Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeAmy, not yet 2 years old, has started doing something very cute. When we get in the car and start down the road she deliberately checks in my direction and very matter of factly says “Dada seatbelt” and doesn’t take her eyes off me until I fasten my seatbelt. She repeats “Dada seatbelt” as necessary. Her enunciation is perfect! After I buckle she sharply turns to the passenger side of the car, points, and says “Mama, seatbelt.”
Over 3 decades of being in cars and driving and state law and federal law and the threat of fines could not convince us to regularly use our seatbelts; it took a toddler!

This Morning
I’m achy this morning. My lack of regular stretching and exercise certainly shows.
I realized yesterday that Monday is a holiday and that means I’m faced with yet another day of no income.

Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeI spent $8.50 worth of kerosene to clear a 10×10 area. There has to be a better way!
I bent my pick axe removing more of the sidewalk but am probably in a position to finally plant our new tree. Of course, I really need $200 worth of dirt first. Argh!

Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeBack from buying kerosene. Tried an experimental burn in the front yard. This is going to be quite different than burning with gasoline. I can practically hold a match in the liquid without it firing up.
It’s still going to be a nightmare once I start this process. To prevent erosion after I burn everything off I need to buy many bails of hay and several hundred dollars in grass seed and replant the hillside. I still want to cover the entire yard in several dump truck loads of topsoil. I want some leveling to be done. Ugh.. Baby steps. Step 1: get money!

Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeGot my fires stoked! Am heading out to buy a kerosene canister and kerosene. Am going to split tasks between working in the yard, cleaning the office, and programming. Then of course, anything the wife asks me to do.

This Morning
Woke groggy with a dull throb in my head. Amy was raspy and coughing all night and I’m worried about her. The other kids didn’t call even though we asked them to call every night. Not sure if bio dad discourages the calls or if our kids are just that absent minded. Either is a strong possibility.
I am torn between doing the yardwork which would make the sife happy and working on the computer to be able to drive money into this household. I think I will probably work on the yard briefly.

Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeWatched Scooby Doo with the wife. Amy made it through most of it finding the belching and flatuations of Scooby and Shaggy very funny. We of course enjoyed the college humor.
My eyes now itch too much to do anything productive. There is the ghost of the hard working driven me that would take the energy that I do have and stay up most of the night realizing my projects and launching new websites. Right now I think I want a beer and some sleep.
The bank account has gone negative. I wonder if I can convince the bank not to close it. I should stay up finding contract opportunities in Nashville or Atlanta.

Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeBio dad picked up the 3 older children and the 2 year old got down right offended. We went to Sam’s to stock up for the week.
I need a container for some kersene. I think I’m going to burn my yard tomorrow.

Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeI took the Mensa IQ Test and was very disappointed in my performance. Apparently I was dropped on my head as a baby. Thanks to Alice for the quiz link!

Amy is jolly. Spinning until she falls down, hollering and playing with toys. Occasionally sucked into the tv but can manage to escape its grasp.
