Shelby, don’t watch the video… But everyone else do…

Thanks Bam-Bam for getting this song in my head… So Happy.

I’ve been dealing with issues that I didn’t want to admit nor discuss.  But I have to… Recently I was told the words that I thought I would never hear from my children.

A date with someone who hates me…

Today was a great day, now some of you would be saying if you had a date, why are you home so early?  Just sit back and enjoy  the story.

The bosses were on my case this morning, it was as if they were saying “You won Employee of the Month, now don’t rest on your laurels dumbass!”  So they were being very picky… ugh.  But I guess their point is that they don’t want anyone to think that I am doing any less now that I have won it. Whatever, I am just following my new mantra. Read more…

A day of accomplishments…

I got the person that I needed for work, and lost a battle I shouldn’t have.

But the major thing that I accomplished today, was believing in myself. I’ve had a lot to think about recently and I’ve come to the conclusion that I can’t run from who I am or where I am at.

I’ve decided to focus on a couple of projects that I had put away and I like what I am doing.

But I can’t wait until the tile guy comes to do some installation.

Yup, very ++EV!

Finally Reid was able to stabilize the websites as well as fix some issues with the mail server that had been bugging me.

We’re getting closer and closer to fixing some things that I would love to have fixed in the house and my eagerness is just overwhelming.  It’s really good to see the hard work pay off.

Shelby called me tonight and was reading the second Harry Potter book.  “It’s easy to read dad,” my nine year old genius said to me. Ryan still won’t talk to me, but I can be hopeful in the future.

Tonight I had Cheese Dreams, something I haven’t had in a long time. (Sorry I’m no Astin but allow me to demonstrate the joy of a cheese dream.)

Take bread, apply imitation butter topping. Put slice of tomato on top of said bread. Cover with a slice of imitation cheese. Toast in oven until cheese is melted. Eat. Enjoy. YUM!

Probably not good for my diet, but I had a big salad for lunch.  I used to tell people when they asked me if I wanted a salad “Do I look like a rabbit?”.  But now… I eat them so I can continue my weight loss and feel better about me.

It’s been hotter than hell up here. But it’s a dry heat. (HA!)  Shelby told me tonight that she was watching Tropical Storm Edward (No funny english spelling. It’s spelled like it’s pronounced.)  She was hoping that it didn’t hit some warm water and hit either Grandma in Dallas or me in Lubbock. I told her that we could use the rain and the clouds.
She laughed.

And I smiled.

Puppy Power!
