Slackin

Well another week has slipped by mainly just because of everything going on. Monday started another work week last week. Tuesday nothing fancy happened to my knowledge or recolection. Wednesday I spent organizing the truck and figuriing how this stupid cargo carrier went on. It was ridiculous. Then after I get it tied to the roof I read do not place carrier on roof until it is packed. Oh thanks. Then I got to thinking why in the world would you want to pack this thing up and then try to pick it up over your head and place it on the roof of a truck. THey obviously never had to pack for my wife.

So Thursday I had to go to Chatanooga again and did not get back unil 11 pm. Then get up Friday and go back to work and not get back home on time like I hoped to. You know how that goes we want to get somewhere but everyone else really isn't to worried about you at that moment. Then things just start falling apart the faster you try to go. So anyway. I got home Friday and as all couples do when they are packing up for a big trip you bicker and now time to move on.

Now, it' 9:30 pm and we is on the road. The trip went really well with baby and cat in tow. Yes I said cat. We treat our cat like one of the family. We rolled throuh the night and both the boys slept the whole time except when it was time to feed.Then at 9:30 am Saturday Morning we rolled into Meadville, PA to drop off our son Buddy who really likes grandma and grandpas because they have stairs and all kind of neat places to hide.

Sunday morning was an interesting time. I of course was trying to tweak and do some thiings with the audio for my in laws because they are a really small church and I enjoy being able to help. Of course when I get behind the controls and try set things up properly with no sound check and there is all this squawking I am sure they question if I really know what I am doing. Well I do and all is under control. That was the least of my worries because we were tricked into playing Mary and Joseph mainly because we had a baby. I was glad I just had to sit there and look good and that just comes naturally. Unfortuanately right before i got to make my grand entry to the stage my mom and dad had to take off because someone broke into their house. All was well. He just broke the door jam and in his search for I don't know what he just made a mess. He was a great canidate for worlds stupidest criminals because he didn't take anything. The dummy left foot prints all over and even found the key to the garge and left it in the door to the garge.


So now we are chillin at the inlaws and trying to enjoy some down time.

Well Merry Christmas and happy blogging.

Hustle and Bustle

Well it is that time of year and the days have just slipped by. It was somewhat of a busy week last week. Tuesday I ended up working late and having to take my suit that I was given as a Christmas present last year to the cleaners to get the legs shortened and my winter coat dry cleaned.

Wednesday I had to work in Chattanooga TN so I didn't get back till late again.

Thursday we got SNOW and as always TN freaked out and jacked all the roads up and in my efforts to beat the system and take a back route to get home I ended up spending 2 and half hrs. in my car.

Now Friday I picked up my dry cleaning and got my hair did so I would be presentable for Nickies Star Christmas party. When I got home Nickie said she felt like a single mom because I was so busy. I say better to be busy making money honey then no money to buy the honey.

Saturday, Saturday Saturday Saturday was the partay day and shook our booties from dusk to dawn. The party was a fun time dressing up and mingling with Nickies co workers and owners. The band Burning Las Vegas was a hit as always. The bosses always put together a video of all the newborn babies and let the clinics put their own videos together. Which can be good and bad depending on your taste of humor. For some reason they all decided to use the elf yourself video so after the tenth elf yourself video we were like okay that is not funny anymore. So, once that was over the video proceded to show humorous things that the owners did and clips from last years Christmas party provdided by yours truly. Then durning the bands time the owners asked me to video tape a paticular song that some of the women dressed up in Tina Turner outfits and did a little diddy. Unfortuanately someone decided to steal my camera after that. So that great footage is gone and so is my camera. So I have been bummed about that.

Well ,on to better things like Bryson. Bryson was a big boy and stayed over night at Ms. Deloras house. It was really tough for Nickie and it hit me about midnight when we were going to bed. I looked at Nickie and said you want to go pick him up? I am sure Deloras would appreciate us not coming in at 1 am. in the morning. So Sunday morning we went to check out and filled out a lost item report and the guy doing the report decided to give us a tour of all the behind the scenes stuff. Lets put it this way I wouldn't put that guy in charge of my cat. So as of yet they have not found my camera. The funny thing is the battery was dead and they don't have the charge cord. It may be a little difficult to use.

So that was our week and this week will be just as crazy because we are getting ready to leave for PA Friday night. So Merry Christmas and Happy Blogging.

3 MO

Well, it's been 3 months since Bryson entered this world and what a week it was. Monday started with another work day of course but then we were able to go to a New parent dinner at the Church. It was the first time we were able to go to the dinner with Bryson in a carrier vs. carrying him in the womb. It was a nice dinner. We were able to hear our senior pastor and his wife speak about their experiences in raising there twins. It was really neat to hear him open up about the things he cherished about his twin boys. He said alot of things but the thing I saw him get the most emotional about was the fact that he couldn't smell his boys hair anymore. WHAT? He couldn't smell their hair. What kind of sick man is your pastor? He is not a sick man he is man in love with his boys. So let me explain.

Having twin boys meant instead of holding one boy at a time he got to hold two boys at a time. He went on to say they had this recliner chair that he would sit in and the boys woul hop on each arm of the chair and snuggle into their dad and he would smell their hair when he would kiss them on the head and hold them close to his face meanwhile you do have to breath so he would have smell their hair.

So what do you take out of this? You take the point that your child is here for a brief moment and then they are driving off into the sunset with keys to your car and asking for more money and telling you when they can fit you into the schedule. So I hope that I will appreciate my son as much as possible and take time to smell his hair.

Well, now on to the rest of the week. I was able to get a little gig with a singer this week named Tara La delle. She sang at a little neat place called Pucketts Grocery. It's a quaint little place that is always serving good food and music. It was a bennefit dinner for some type of childrens home. It was a fun little gig other than some of their audio equipment did not want to cooperate. All in all it went well. Then came the weekend. Oh the weekend was full of activity. First we went to a baby massage class so we can give our little one massages. Then we came home and Nickie got to go to lunch with the girls and have a baby shower for a friend of ours while I got stuck being home with Byrson by myself. I got lucky though and he slept the whole time. Nickie was so mad. HA. Although I was quite the busy body getting house work done that just seems to be so hard to get to after having a child.

After Nickie got home we hung out a little bit and did the normal routine for Bryson and then headed to a Sunday School party to celebrate the holidays. We had a good time but made sure we got home at a decent hour so we could get a good night sleep so we could get up and go to church. After church we went and got a brown bag lunch at Sonic and then went and visited friends that just had their second one. Then we did some grocery shopping and came home to take a nap but that never happened.

Well hope all is going well for you during this CHRIST- mas season. Sorry if If offended you for saying CHRISTmas. If you have a problem with it call GOD and not my lawyer. I am just glad that Mary is not alive otherwise this world would have the scorn of the ultimate woman and I would not want to be the one telling people that I was going to destroy her sons birthday. So to you readers who have a problem with saying Merry Christmas sorry but you are probably not going to a not so nice place but if you don't want to go to that bad place let me know and I will give you instructions on how not to.

So hope you all had a good week and blogg to you next week.
