Christmas is almost here!

-- 21 December 2006 [Thursday]

Getting ready to leave work now. Been a pretty easy day as things are winding down and the RMS 4.6.0 release I have been working on comes to a close tomorrow hopefully.

Going to try to go to Tom's Train store on the way home to exchange the railroad track I bought for Keegan for a little lesss track, but then add a car and a lighted house (which he asked Santa for). I still have to buy my dad something, but I have no idea what. I'll probably get him a Borders gift certificate as he stops there a lot for coffee and to read magazines if I remember correctly.

Today is Keegan's last day of school before Christmas break. He is very excited of course. After his recess they are watching a Polar Express short video and having snacks and a book read to them, so I'm sure he'll of had fun.

Worked from home today. Amanda ended up working all day which is good money wise as she does not work the next two Wednesday's.

Work was light, so that made it easier. I went to Carson's school for his 11:15am Winter presentation. Of course he didn't sing a word, but it was still cute to watch him. They got some cookies and juice afterwards and we headed home. He got two more birthday presents as well from people who couldn't make his party at the last minute.

I finally put the original exhaust pipes back on the Ural last night after the kids went to bed. Took about two hours to get it all lined up. What a pain, but glad it is done!

Nothing special that I recall. Another day at work as usual.

Overwhelmed

25 January 2008 [Friday] Well as you can tell by the 1+ month gap (which I tried to go back and fill in from my last full entry of Dec 10th), I got overwhelmed between pulling my calf muscle at the playground with the kids and now being on crutches, to Carson's birthday party at the YMCA, then Christmas, then New Years, then Ian's birthday (on which he woke up sick and vomitting for the first half of the day) to us hosting the Y-Guides meeting at our house on the 20th of this month (which went great and everyone had a good time). All of this combined with the fact that I was just plain exhausted was too much and I let the blog slip for about six weeks. For that I appologize, especially to my family. Actually they don't even know that I am doing this. They have no idea - the kids wouldn't understand anyway probably, but Amanda doesn't know either. I've thought about that, and when I should tell her it's here....if I were to die tomorrow, no one would...

Struggling to maintain this blog ...

23 March 2008 [Sunday] Easter Sunday today. I really wish we would attend church. I'm nervous bringing the kids there as the one time Amanda tried it didn't work out well for her. Keegan would do OK, and Carson probably would, but Ian I'm not sure about. He would probably want to sit with us instead of attending the little classes they have. Anyways, we took it easy in the morning, then we headed out to buy the kids new 'jelly' shoes as they all need them bad. Unfortunately the entire mall was closed! Sears was open so we found a pair for Ian, but Keegan and Carson will have to wait until Amanada can make it back to the mall. We stopped for McDonalds before the mall. It was a treat for sure, but Amanda didn't eat a burger or fries because she's really watching what she eats. I'm proud of her for that. It tasted good, but afterwards we all felt horrible and made me confirm that I just don't want to eat that stuff anymore. Went home then a...

Where's The Sun?

8 April 2008 [Tuesday] Normal day at work so far. Carson's first day back to school after his Spring Break. Amanda took Ian to McDonalds and got him a hot chocolate, and played card games with him! He loved it, and he got special time together which I am SOOOOO happy for him. He really enjoyed it Amanda said. Ian also went to 'school' at the YMCA before that, so it was nice to get him back into his routine. I hope to go to cycling class tonight finally. I'll be starting all over and am nervous about my leg, but I will take it easy for sure on it. 7 April 2008 [Monday] I actually worked from home today as Amanda filled in for Candance as her father in-law passed away. It was a good day for me, as work was slow most of the day. After work, the kids played outside while I started mulching the mailbox area. Got it all down, but ran two bags short of mulch, so I hope to finish that on Wednesday for sure as I can pick up the mulch when I drop Carson off at schoo...
