Amy’s question of the day “What are you doing Daddy?”

Now she’s watching Nemo.

A New Day!

Let’s start the day off with a PayPal donation link:

This Morning

I didn’t want get up. Drilling a hole in my head felt more inviting than getting up.

Got a waste of time meeting with my recruiter today. Have several opportunities I want to submit resumes for. Want to get downtown to the City County building which is probably closed today. Want to visit the Chamber of Commerce which is probably closed. Want to visit the Lottery Regional office which is probably closed. Want to find the manual to the Jeep and get the starter replaced. Want to get the wood that I spent so much effort chopping out of the neighbor’s yard and stacked. Want to program, work on finances, clean and do construction on the house and landscape the yard.

Last Night/Afternoon

A flurry of activity. Cathy did a great job putting together a disc of pictures of Sarah for her school. One of the negatives of having digital photographs is non-digital people don’t know what to do with them.

Tommy, Noah and I dropped the pictures off on our way to Star. During Star, Noah and I worked on Cub Scout achievements towards his Wolf. I feel like a bad dad since he probably should have had the Wolf already.

After Star (Tommy did great!) we drove to McDonald’s for fast food dinner and brought it home. After a quick bite and Noah and I were off to scouts where I had a very pleasant conversation with one of the scouts grandfather as that scout’s dad has been deployed to Iraq.

Home for a quick bout with the wife. Children to bed. Kingdom Hospital. Futurama then sleep.

Blast. Just wasted time to accidentally close the window instead of saving!

Amy just said “Lucy need help!” Lucy is the dog and she was put outside to “do her business.” She was done and barking at the door. “someone need help” what a concept for a 22 month old!

I am too bushed to think straight. My eyes are blurry from tiredness. I did accomplish several things today and that is good.

I am trying so hard but I keep having these terrible slipups with the various family members where I let my temper show through. I feel horrible. I’m most intolerant of Tommy. One moment of unnecessary, harsh words can ruin an entire day.

We took the horde to the dentist then to the mall for ice cream. Something ironic there. Let’s clean our teeth then dive into a sugary product! The boys enjoyed the Game Board. Parents “Don’t ask for anything because the answer is no” Boys in the store “ew! Ah! Can I have this? Can I buy that? Can I pay you back? This thing is free. …”

Amy continues to shine having more than one person comment on her fantastic smarts in the dentist office.

Long overdue proposal mailed. Finish the game!

Finished the b/w flyer for the zoo event. Not to my satisfaction but certainly falls under a “good enough” category. Finish the game!

Morning spent answering email and making phone calls.
