So Now I Know....

On the first day, God created the dog and said, "Sit all day by the door of your house and bark at anyone who comes in or walks past.  For this, I will give you a life span of twenty years."
 
The dog said, "That's a long time to be barking.  How about only ten years and I'll give you back the other ten?"
 
So God agreed......
 
On the second day, God created the monkey and said, "Entertain people, do tricks, and make them laugh.  For this, I'll give you a twenty-year life span." The monkey said, "Monkey tricks for twenty years?  That's a pretty long time to perform.  How about I give you back ten like the dog did?"
 
And God agreed......

On the third day, God created the cow and said, "You must go into the field with the farmer all day long and suffer under the sun, have calves and give milk to support the farmer's family.  For this, I will give you a life span of sixty years."
 
The cow said, "That's kind of a tough life you want me to live for sixty years.  How about twenty and I'll give back the other forty?"
 
And God agreed again......

On the fourth day, God created humans and said, "Eat, sleep, play, marry and enjoy your life.  For this, I'll give you twenty years."
 
But the human said, "Only twenty years?  Could you possibly give me my twenty, the forty the cow gave back, the ten the monkey gave back, and the ten the dog gave back; that makes eighty, okay?"
 
"Okay," said God.  "You asked for it."
 
So that is why for our first twenty years, we eat, sleep, play and enjoy ourselves.  For the next forty years, we slave in the sun to support our family.  For the next ten years, we do monkey tricks to entertain the grandchildren.  And for the last ten years, we sit on the front porch and bark at everyone.
 
Life has now been explained to you.

Day 5...I'm still alive and so are the kids!

So we have made it for 5 days and only 5 more to go. Having on night off was a big help.

This weekend will be a patience tester. I need to go to Kingsland, TX, about an hour from Autin, to take care of some business. Yes, I am taking the kids. Can you say ROADTRIP!!! I hope to leave the house fairly early get my business done and then go over to Marble Falls for a swim in Lake LBJ.

My fingers are crossed!

End of Day 2...Day 3 Begins

Today was a suprisingly simple day. We got up on time and made it to school and work on time as well. I had meeting up Northwest so afterwards I picked up the girls early and made out way home. We played some, ate a good dinner, talked to Mom, watch Dora the Explorer and then off to bed.

Tomorrow the girls are staying overnight with Myra and Emma. Dad get the house to himself. Hoping to find someone to meet for drinks. I really want some sangria from Hula Hut.

Hopefully tomorrow AM is as easy as todays.

Almost forgot....we also saved a puppy. More on that later.

Day two.....missing Guy and the Girls

Well, it's almost 10:00 pm and it is full blown daylight here in Anchorage. Weird! I should be exhausted, but how do you sleep when it is daylight outside? It is so beautiful here, everything is green, it was mid 70's today and there is still snow on the mountains!

I am missing the girls and Guy. I'm sure they are all having fun and having a good time, but the older they get and the more times they ask, "when are you coming home?" The more it hurts! Daddy, you ROCK! Thanks for holding down the fort!

End of Day 1...Day 2 begins

Only one day.....holy cow! I can only hope tonight is a solid nights sleep. In 24 hr we have had 3 potty accidents already with one being in the middle of the night and all from one kid. I am not going to name names but it wasn't Dylan or Phoebe. I think the culprit is missing Mom a lot.

I spent a couple of hours last night worrying about what I would do if we have a home invasion. WTF....I have never worried about that before becuase the answer is simple...kill 'em. I am sure it will be better tonight. I put my favorite sheets on the bed so I bet I sleep like a baby.

Another oddity is the garage. There has to be something dead in there because it stinks to high heaven. I put in a half ass search and dispose mission but just wasn't mentally into it. I wonder if I can manage to not go into the garage for the next nine days?

Day 1

So it is just me and the kids for the next 10 days. We are hoping to post pics and videos each day to keep mom in the loop so she doesn't feel home sick. Luckily I do have help on night and the kids will stay overnight with Myra and Emma, thank you!!!!, on Wednesday. Other that that I am on my own.

I am hoping that these posting will help maintain my sanity but we will see.
