A Year of Change

This morning I’m off to Vail and it’s raining a little bit outside right now. Last night it took us a few minutes to get Mojo in as we have a raccoon living in our big tree in the backyard. We’ve known he or she was there for awhile but last night was the first time we saw her. Mojo has been trying to climb the tree for a few weeks which is how we knew we had a new neighbor.

Lori came home early (for her) around 5:45 last night. I think she’s finally figured out she doesn’t have to stay until 7 every night. No baseball today as the fields will be too wet. We’re maybe going to dinner tonight if our friends from Texas make it down from Vail in time and if they’re not too tired.

I need to run as Lori’s car has no gas in it and I don’t think she’s ever filled her own gas tank since I’ve known her. That’s ok, I’m happy to do it, just one of those things. She does lots of other things to make up for it.

It’s been maybe a week and a half or so without coffee and I think I’m more level headed, not so many ups and downs in my energy levels, plus I like tea. Ty and Vinny and the whole school, (in his words) are going to Kids Night Out again tonight. He gets home around 10:15 which means we have to stay up and wait for him, uggh.

That’s it, have a good weekend, God Bless.

Ok, it’s 5am and I’m up, coffee is made and Mojo is fed. Looks like I’m back to getting up early. It was finally nice outside yesterday but is supposed to rain or snow lightly tonight. Tomorrow I’m off to Vail so I hope it stops today although I’m planning to get in a half a day skiing in, yea!

Kids and Lori are asleep, of course. We had our first outside baseball practice last night and Ty and Vinny came along to play at the park. This morning Sears comes to fix our microwave which thankfully is under warranty. Then I need to run to Fed Ex and UPS which are on opposite sides of town, of course. After that a quick haircut at noon and then home for some computer work and then a trip to an account or two.

Looks like the Rolling Stones are coming to Red Rocks! I already have my friend who knows the promoter on it as this will be the show of a lifetime and probably their last tour. Being at Red Rocks, the outdoor amphitheater, will be epic, we can’t wait. I’m sure it’ll sell out in 2 minutes.

That’s it, trying to pay some taxes this coming week which are only a month or so late, oh well, you do what you can do, right? Other than that we plan on getting some more cleaning done this weekend while it’s warm. Tomorrow night we’re going to Elways for dinner with our friends from Texas who have been in Vail this week skiing. That’s it, hope all’s well, but can you believe the arrogance of Hillary, words cannot describe it!

God Bless

It’s warming up like into the 70’s today. We were trying to decide what to do for Spring Break and with Lori and I having to work, we’re going to do a lot of day skiing. This means driving up and back each day but at least we’ll get in 5 or 6 days of Spring skiing. I’ll be up Friday for a few runs while visiting my friends from Texas who arrived yesterday.

Today though, it’s more work and school. It’s 6:40 now and we’ve all been tired due to daylight savings time. It might also have something to do with me quitting coffee. So time to run as we’re already late. Hope all’s well, God Bless.

Yesterday was consumed with me boxing and shipping wine. In the end I had 26 boxes stacked by the front door waiting for the Fed Ex guy. He wasn’t too happy when he showed up but I always give them a couple bottles of wine which in the end cheers them up. Today I was going to run up to Vail to get a V.P. from Texas settled into a house I arranged for him, his wife and daughter. I called a friend who hooked me up with a place for free as I had helped them out a few years ago with their fundraiser for their Charter School. They land so late though (12:50pm) that I’m just going to send them up on their own. I need to go up Friday to get license plates on the truck so no point going twice.

Lori is working hard too, as are the boys. The house looks a little better with 30 less boxes of wine but we still have a lot to clear out of here. I’ll ship another 10 or so tomorrow and then start the big purge meaning, get rid of it! Aunt Robi said she’d help take any extra. Maybe we’ll drive down to Phoenix for a few days for Spring Break, wonder if it’s warm.

The snow is almost melted here but not quite. It is gone just enough to make Mojo’s paws really muddy every time he goes outside. Not much else, Hillary is supposed to hold a news conference today or tomorrow where she’ll get up and spin and lie to cover her ass. Hopefully people are smart enough to see through her and will stay as far away as possible from her in the next election. But you never know as the general public is pretty stupid and will believe just about anything, which is exactly what she’s counting on.

Oh well, just have to worry about ourselves. Be well, God Bless.

Today I need to pack and ship 30 to 40 cases of wine. It’ll take me most of the day but it needs to get done and we need to get it out of the house. Tomorrow I need to take some to Vail and then the rest of the week I need to do whatever I can to get rid of the rest in the house.

Yesterday we ran some errands and lounged around. Lori needs to be at work early today and time to get the boys ready for school. That’s about it, time to run, have a great day,

God Bless

We lost an hour last night when the clocks sprung forward an hour. I just came downstairs and it’s now 9am! Lots to do today so I hope we’re all rested.

Yesterday morning we decided to invite Brooke and her husband and 19 month old baby Cole over for dinner. This meant we had to clean the house. Whenever we need to clean, we invite someone over which then forces us to clean! We started around 9:30 and were finished by 4:30, a half hour before our guests showed up. It’s sure nice to have a clean house but even then we can tell how much we need to purge.

They left around 8:30 which was just fine for us as our late night party nights are over. Guess we’re getting old!

Today we’re going to try to get another room clean and go buy Ty a new dresser. We’re at a standstill in his room until he gets a new one.

Guess I’ll run now as like I said, it’s now after 9am. Hope everyone is well, my caffeine headaches are pretty much gone and it’s supposed to be warmer again today. Take care, God Bless.

Man life is different without caffeine. It’s not only hard to get up but harder to then get moving. Not sure if I’ll stay off coffee or not but am giving it a try for a bit to see how it affects me.

Yesterday after school we had to go get fitted for Jag’s uniform and then had practice from 7 until 9pm. Ty went to Vinny’s at 4:30 and then to Kids Night Out at the rec center so he made it home about 10:20. He walked in and said, “Mom, everyone was there” and then proceeded t0 rattle off name after name of all the kids that were there.

Today we’re cleaning again. Not sure what we’ll tackle today but it’ll be something messy. There’s plenty to chose from! I have about 100 cases of wine all around the house so we’ll need to work around those.

It’s finally warming up and a lot of the snow melted yesterday but the grass is still covered. Time to run so I can go wash Lori’s car before the self serve car wash fills up. Have a great weekend, God Bless.

We’re hoping for 50 degrees today and if so, Mojo will surely be muddy by the afternoon. At 5pm we head out for baseball uniforms and then have practice from 7 to 8:30 so the evening is pretty much shot. Same old same old at Lori’s work. I did stop by her office yesterday and the remodel sure looks nice. It’s 6:40 now and we’re having a hard time getting the boys moving. I need to go to the distributor to pick up some samples today and also have to finish up my computer work.

So time to run, I’ve had a headache for two days and two nights since I gave up caffeine, hope it ends soon as it’s no fun. Too much crazy political crap going on to even get into it. Hillary though, should be toast. It’s funny to see the dems blame everything on the republicans no matter what happens. Let’s see, she violated Federal law, fired an ambassador for doing what she did, is on multiple videos saying you can’t do (what I did) and even blamed Bush for the same thing and yet the dems say it’s a republican witch hunt. It’s like if she was caught on film robbing a bank, they’d say it wasn’t her! Wow! Lori hopes she goes to jail which is what’d happen to anyone of us but I’m sure she’ll get off.

God Bless

That’s right, baseball started at 7:30 and was over by 9pm. Before that I had my distributor meeting from 11am until 1pm, Jag had more useless testing from 7:45 until 10:30, Lori worked from 9am until 6pm and Ty had school from 8:15 until 2:45. Add in some homework, dishes, laundry, computer work and video games and you can pretty much sum up our day.

Today will be more of the same although Jagger has the day off. I’m quitting caffeine and am on my second day so you probably don’t want to talk to me. Thankfully it’s warming up starting today as it’s been a good two weeks with lots of snow on the ground.

This afternoon Jagger has a baseball lesson but we’re going to cancel as his arm is sore. I have a lot of computer work to do this morning which I’m going to try to knock out early.

That’s about it but, can anyone believe Hillary? What a loser. She just thinks she can do anything she wants, no matter what the rules or laws are. Thankfully it looks like she’s her own worst enemy. I really can’t believe how many self inflicted gaffs she and her group continue to come up with. And she wants to be President, God help us!

Time to run, God Bless.

That’s about it, it snowed again, Jag was out at 10am and is again today, and Mojo ate our tv remote control. Looks like we’ll have to break the crate out again. After I pick up Jag at 10:15 I need to head across town to the distributor for a meeting. Lori will be off to work as usual and Ty too, will be headed to school.

It’s 6:42 and we overslept so time to get moving. Hope all’s well, time to run,

God Bless.
