It's Thursday, which means that my vacation is almost done. Luckily Memorial Day adds another day to it, but eventually it has to come to an end, doesn't it?
Took advantage of the day today I must say. We took Raymond to see Thor and Kung Fu Panda 2 (the latter in 3D). It worked out pretty well. I thought Raymond acted up a little during Thor and it started to make me upset, but seeing, and hearing two to three kids act up during Kung Fu Panda 2 reminded me that Raymond isn't bad at all. In fact, he wasn't even close to be bad compared to them. Whew! I am grateful!
Hot Dogs, Turkey Hamburger Patties, and Apricot Chicken were all grilled up today. Man, I felt like I spent more time on the grill today than I did during the Beach House weekend! The heat may play a factor in that. Damn, the heat has turned up in Houston...it's back to normal now. Hell, it should be 78 degrees tonight around 10:00...not cooling off enough at night. I did a little stuff in the yard, or just outside that I have needed to tend to for a while tonight. It wasn't yard work, but it was still doing something.
Tomorrow, we get up and take the Kiddos to school in the morning. That means Ruby and I will have a little time to ourselves. There is so much to do, I am not sure what we are going to get done exactly. I know for sure we will probably finally get a lunch in to ourselves. It should be a nice way to end off the week....
No random pic this time, but I will try to put one in other entries...let's just say for the hell of it, yeah?!?! Cool...

...An update, and a random pic...
....hello....here I am again, trying to update after several weeks...
Right now, I am currently enjoying a much needed vacation, a week and a day off of work. It's nice to be off of work, in any capacity. Sure, we aren't getting nearly everything accomplished that we would like, but it is nice nonetheless....
Beach House 2011 came and went. It never seems to last. This year's was different than years past...that isn't a bad thing, it's just different. I don't think that I came even close to drinking the amount that I have before. I guess the best way to describe it this year was that it was just low key; more chill than ever before. Another sign that we are just getting older!
What you find about vacations when you have kids, is that almost nothing goes as planned. Kids will definitely make sure of that. You just have to deal with it and enjoy the time that you have off. I think that I have for the most part. I really don't have anything to complain about since I am not at work. That is all that I really want. Another factor is that I think that I have so much that I want to do, it is almost impossible to get to them, or get them done. It's all good.
Well, here is the random picture that I eluded to in this entry's title. I don't know why I am putting this, but I really liked it when I first came across it. Jim Henson's passing was something like 21 years ago on May 16...wow!

what to do?
Here is another post that I started to work on a couple of days ago. I saved it so I just would delete it and not update anything.
I find that if I type something up and email to myself, I can build a entry from that, or just get a snapshot of how I was feeling for a moment in time. As you can see, work is giving me a lot of trouble these days and even though I hate to write about it, it's almost unavoidable. Here is is....
It's hard to be positive when you are in a place that seems to beat you down. Even if you are trying to keep a positive face on. I guess the true feeling is still out there, giving that negative vibe. I keep trying to be nice guy, I mean, that is what I am by nature, and nice guy, but there comes a time where being nice just doesn't get it done. I think it is that time now. Well, maybe past time. I hate to say that, I hate even more to do it, but I am going to have to. I hope that it comes across ok and gets the job done.
It just sucks that it has to come down to this. Still I am patient, I realize that I am probably too patient, but I wait and see what will happen....
It's difficult for me to figure out how I want to treat this, or what I am going to do long term. I think the long term solution is inevitable. I hate to say it, but it might be for the best. At least for me. For now, part of me wants to just work and continue on, not letting anything get to me but there are other times where you just can't ignore things. I don't know. I guess, I just don't know how much longer or how much patient that I can continue being. Only time will tell? I guess so because right now, I don't have any real answers....
