Day Three
Keeping it going...a little late, but I got it in...
Day Three was a good as it gets for me. I didn't do a hell of a whole lot. Had a little quiet time, took my Mom two places and picked up Raymond from school. Wednesday's are early dismissal days. I rewarded him with a happy meal, and the afternoon was great. It's the little things in life that I enjoy the most. It didn't seem like a lot, right!? Well...it was priceless to me....
Picked up Thor on bluray, we even went to dinner at Gringo's as well. All in all, a good day.
Day four will probably shape up the same. I can't wait!
Here is a little update on the Aloe...I can see progress already!

Day Two
...Weekday two of my week long vacation is just about in the books. I am feeling tired, and I really don't want to be. I can't say that I did a whole lot today. Still, I felt as it was a good day.
I think it is pretty safe to say that when you have kids, you don't really get a day off. I was off from working at my normal job, but I was on girl duty today. Naturally I spent most of the morning at my Mother's house. Around midday it was time to come home and make sure that the girls got in a nap before we dropped them off at Mom's again and attended Raymond's open house at school. While the girls napped, I had a little quiet time and cleaned up while I had the chance. Not overly eventful, but a little productive still.
The Girls are doing so well. I had a great day with them. Wow, they turn two years old on Friday. As they get older, it seems to get a little easier. I mean, we don't have to watch over them every minute of the day. They can get away with playing in another room for a while, that is before they start fighting over a toy or a book or whatever. Still, it is getting easier and I am happy to say that I am glad that we do have happy children for the most part.
Tomorrow is Wednesday which means that my vacation is almost over. I am not going to complain that it is going to fast or that it didn't last long enough, because let's face it, I am not at work. That is enough for me. I just have to enjoy the time off, right!?
On another note, Ruby and I haven't had any luck with any plant of any kind in the nine years that we have been married. Hell, I can barely cut grass. We do have an aloe plant that has managed to survive us for a while. I noticed it in the computer room last week and it was starting to look not so greenish, so I decided to water it and take it outside. Some sun should do it good right? Well after watering it and a few days going by, I see it outside only to find that it is now brown!! Damn. I told Ruby that if we killed an Aloe plant, then something is wrong with us!! I didn't expect for that to happen for reals, you know!? I watered it again, sprayed it with a water bottle and brought it inside. Turns out, it really doesn't have to be outside for very long. Now I know that. Hopefully I can salvage it. I will keep an update on that in about a week or so....
Well, there you have it another update. My goal is to keep this up for five days straight. If I can do that, I will be happy!
Here's another stupid/funny Star Wars video...(big day inches closer and closer...)

Day One
...weekday one that is...
It's the time of the year that more and more people are learning to love more than ever. That's right, it's the opening weekend of the NFL season! What a way to start off the season too! There were a couple of very good games for us to all watch! It means a lot more to me than it might for most. Not only do we get to root for our favorite team, but we all get to hang out with family and friends. It's something that I don't get to do these days, or at least it seems that way. Good food, alcohol and family....does it get any better than that? I don't know.
It certainly was an added bonus that The Texans started off the year the way that they were supposed to, by stomping on the Manning less Colts. Sure people still find things to complain about them, but in the end, they won big. Isn't that what it is all about anyway? Ultimately getting that all important "W"? Not only that, but I think I started off the season by drinking a bit too much. I guess that tends to happen on the first Sunday of the season because there isn't anyway that I can keep that kind of drinking up every Sunday....nor do I plan to....
As the first Monday of my week long vacation came to an end, I guess it was a productive one. We got to straighten up the living room/table. Well, I have to give most, if not all, of the credit to Ruby. Always a battle it is to try and clean our poor little, broken home. Although, it won't stay like that for very long, it felt good to have a clean room for just a little while....
Here are just a few thoughts that I had while watching the Pats and Dolphins game. Had Raymond not been playing on my phone, I might have tweeted these...
"They gonna kill Reggie Bush if they keep letting him run inside."
"Dolphins are celebrating that first touchdown like they are going to the Super Bowl, relax, there are still three more quarters!"
"Ok, the Dolphins are trying to make this a game!"
"Ok, Reggie bush wants to be an every down back? Well, I want to be a millionaire"
"An all out blitz on the goal line against Brady? Making it too easy for him"
****a couple more days for the big bluray release, here's a little something that i thought was funny.....

Ok Lucas...
...Ok Lucas, now you're just fucking with us, right?!?! At first I didn't think much of this because I thought it was fake, but it looks like it is legit....
WTF Lucas? C'mon!!! Now even I am starting to get pissed. I almost don't want the bluray's now, but still, I can't resist...
Thoughts?!?!

The going on's....
Well....here we go again...haven't updated much, but hey! What are you going to do?
Hmmmm....let's see...well, Raymond has completed about a week and a half of Kindergarten at RIVER OAKS ELEMENTARY!! That is definitely something! He seems to really like it too! I mean it's just elementary school, and I am sure that it is fun, but he seems to really like going. It's kind of cool for me to drop him off in the morning and pick him up in the afternoon! I mean, I feel like I am doing my part as a parent. I am actually helping out. Although, getting used to the new schedule has been a little bit tough. Oh, I am sure we will adapt, but getting up a little bit earlier and leaving about 15 to 20 minutes than I am used to is definitely different. Raymond has seemed to adapted ok. It can be hard to wake him up in the mornings, but once we get him up, he is usually fine. He hasn't been defiant about actually going to school, which is a big time bonus, of course we are only almost two weeks in.
Not to be lost in all of this, the Girls are doing just fine in there second semester of daycare, I guess you will call it. They seem to like going too! They have a little head start in learning, compared to Raymond, that should only be beneficial. It is always, always cool to see and hear them sing and dance a bit more too!
Time is going just too damn fast. I don't know what to make of it. On the plus side, Football season is upon us for the most part, and the negative....where does all of the time go? Man, I wish I had an answer for that.
We are forever trying to get the house in order. I really don't know how much longer we could put up with this ol' house before it either breaks in half, or sinks into the ground. It's depressing and embarrassing. I think it is a big part of the reason why we just don't have any events out our house anymore. The year of no rain surely hasn't helped out one bit. Man, I simply don't remember a summer, or year like this. Where is the rain?!?!?
Two more weeks until the Girls two year birthday, Star Wars being released on Bluray, and a week long vacation for me! I cannot wait for that!! I hope to make the most of it....
Here's a random pic of the above mentioned, in which I am eagerly anticipating....
Solo shot first, ok?!?!

So much to do...
....so little time. That is so very true. The other day I was thinking of things that I missed doing and wanted to start back up, eventually. I got a small list together which looked like this...
Read books
Read comics
Play guitar
Listen to music
Work out
Play video games
Watch movies
Work on yard
Hang out with friends
Keep house clean
The list doesn't look long or all that difficult to get accomplished, but it is. A lot of it can get done, I think that I just need to organize my time better...well...duh....
A lot of it also depends on my work schedule. I have decided that I am not going to work as much as I have. That is easier said than done, but I think that I have to put my foot down somewhere, because work surely isn't going to help me in that. I think if they had it their way, I would never get to leave. For some reason, they want me to have all of the hours and send everyone else in the department home. That's not going to happen anymore. Something has got to change and I think that I am the only one that is going to force that issue. I absolutely have to. If they don't like that, then something will definitely change.
It feels like it should be a simple thing, but for me, it just isn't. As I type this, I feel a little stress coming on, or just my stomach wanting to knot up a bit. I am not one to get stressed out either, but thinking about work has done that to me....and that is not a good thing....enough about that (for now).
and from the "it's about time" department here is my random picture for this entry....
ok, Chris give us some more updates on your movie there, I need more! Oh! I didn't realize that the next movie is due out on Raymond's birthday next year! Sweet!!
