Wow, I didn’t realize I wrote 2500+ words yesterday, sorry for the long post. Grandma Annette commented that it sounds like we both did a great job but once again, all the credit goes to the misses. For me, I just did what I normally do which is basically develop relationships and sell stuff. It was my beautiful wife who made it all come together. Ok, I’ll stop now as I’m sure your all getting sick of the love fest and show details. We’re very lucky to get to do some of the things we get to do and we know it.
Yesterday it was back to reality. We spent most of the day cleaning the house. Tons of stuff is broken around here, faucets upstairs, big drafts in the doors that needed to be plugged for the cold temps, and so on. Winter swim also started yesterday at 4pm and will go on every Sunday until Spring when Spring swim starts. I cannot believe how all those kids just jumped in the pool and swam laps non stop for an hour! The wife and I joked that we would haven’t have made it 10 minutes. They both swam great but the oldest one really has a fluid smooth, almost effortless stroke. He must get that from his Mom. His long lean frame is really built for swimming. The youngest one is still half in play mode but has a real strong kick. They finished up at 5pm and then it was off to pick up Chinese food for them as a reward. The misses and I had chicken breast and cauliflower. After showers we were all off to be before 8pm.
Today I need to come up with some extra cash for some extra bills, some things never change. I also am going to get my front teeth finally fixed. I have this dead brown front tooth that I’ve had since I injured it playing basketball when I was about 18 years old. I’ve kind of forgot about it but 3 people literally asked me what happened to my tooth when I was in Texas. That’s it, I’m not that vain but time to get that damn thing fixed. I think they shave it down and put some kind of veneer on it. Another unexpected expense I’ll have to find the cash for. I should have taken my Mom up on her offer a few years ago when she said, “I’ll pay to have your front teeth fixed!”. Bad decision to pass. We’ll keep you posted.
Time to run as it’s a little after 5 and I have to get my 2 mile run in. I’m on a freakin mission, 100% committed. (some of you are thinking maybe I should be committed!) We have dinner tonight with our friends from Iceland at 6pm and still don’t have a sitter, anyone available???
Take care, have a great day and I was so wrapped up in telling everyone about what we did that I forgot to send out a HUGE thank you to Uncle T and Aunt B for letting the boys stay with them while we were gone. Nothing would have happened without their help! They’re the real heros. We were talking when In Texas about what a great Aunt and Uncle they are and how they’ve saved our lives many times in the past year. Plus they’re really good to the kids and it’s good for them to stay with them. Sure they give the kids candy, big deal, but they also make them shower, brush their teeth, and keep them in line teaching them right from wrong. You guys would have made good parents.
Ok, take care, God Bless and bring on the warm weather.
