Birthday Day !!

Well, today is my daughters birthday. She will be turning 5 today so everything is a big deal. This morning, she told me that she wanted to have donuts for the class so of course I was almost late for school because we had to stop for donuts. ;-)

I decided to stay with her for Chapel, she has been wanting me to be with her for it. For her birthday, they sing for you while you stand up front. It was pretty cute. She had the biggest smile I think I have ever seen, it was great. Today is her day, she is turning 5.

Here are a few pics that I snapped on my phone.



She was the line leader today.



My son goes to the doctor today to get an electrocardiogram (ECG, EKG) done. During his last visit earlier this week, he had a pretty fast heart rate, so we are getting a EKG done. I have no worries that everything will be fine.

I took my lunch break and went to Home Depot to get some stuff to help manage the rats nest that is my computer cables. I decided to use velcro ties for the cables, so I can easily get them off and move them around. Since I have a metal desk, I have to be picky as to what I do with my power strips, so I got adhesive Velcro strips that I will attach to the bottom of the power strip and attach it to the back of my desk. I have hope.

Doctor Visit

The kids went to the doctor for a checkup and to get a few shots, here is a pic of them at the doctors office.

Computer issues

What a weekend. It went by pretty good. It rained most of the weekend but all in all it was not bad. My wife came home on Saturday and the kids and I were happy to see here. It was no that hard without here, I know she would beg to deffer, but it was not that hard. A lot has changed since my children were younger when it was harder, but now not that bad.

My computer died yesterday, so I had to ends up getting new parts to fix it. More than likely I will have to reload Windows to get it back and working so I will take this opportunity to load Windows 7 and see how it runs. I have not run it yet so it is pretty new to me.

I will be upgrading to a quad core processor because my old cpu/motherboard/ram is so old I can not get a replacement cheaply. I find it funny that the older hardware is more expensive than the new stuff.

I start a new boot camp today, hopefully anyway. Since it has been raining, I don't know if we are going to have it or not, but I will go and see. I am really going to hit hard this go around. Eating better will be my main goal, I will try and eat 4-5 small meals a day.

All is good

Well, last night was an adventure. After working I picked up the kids and went home to play some. We decided to go eat some chicken and play in an indoor play area. Well they both ate pretty good, but I spilt my coke in the play area so I had to clean that up. Well, Megan wanted a shake for the road, so we got that and got in the truck and while on the way home, I spilt some of her shake when she was handing it back to me.

Well, I got that all cleaned up when I got home and got the kids to sleep and all was good. Work today was so-so, busy at first then it slowed down. I am currently trying to figure out what I will be doing after work.

I will be happy that tomorrow my wife will be back, not because I need her help with the kids, thats the easy part, it is because I miss her. My wife's birthday is coming up and I am going to surprise her, she reads this blog, so I won't say much.

My kids

Well, not a lot has been going on. My wife left this morning and my workout has ended till Monday. I would go jogging but I have kids that I have to look after. I am thinking about taking them to Chick-fila for supper tonight, i can get something good and they can eat and then go play in the play room. Its a win-win.

My friend Jeromie called me today and told me about a video card that he bought from Best buy. He got it for a pretty good price and I told him that I would be interested if he could get another one. If he gets one, then next month I will upgrade my PC, it is long over due. I am looking at the new AMD X4s since I don't do a lot of heavy gaming.

Zzzzz

Man was it a busy day yesterday. I had a pretty long workout yesterday. Did a 2.5 mile jog along with a cardio circuit which included push-ups, dips, leg squats and squat jumps. Megan had her soccer practice and then my wife went off to her woman's meeting.

Got some good sleep last night and woke up to a very groggy daughter. She stayed up waiting for my wife to come home so she could read her books to her. Megan was not very awake this morning and she was dragging. She will be going to bed early tonight ;-)

My wife leaves for Illinois tomorrow morning so the kids will be mine for a few days. I have an array of activities to give them to keep them busy. In other words, I have no idea what I am going to do, but I will survive.

To anyone that is family that reads this blog, Megan will have her birthday party on October the 10th. She will be turning 5 and we will be having it a a local bowling alley. Should be a pretty fun time.

My last workout will be today. I am debating on weather or not to start up again next week. To tell you the truth I would not mind finding a gym. Not really an exersice gym, but more of a boxing/taekwondo gym. I also want to start up my P90X dvd, might try that tonight.

Till next time.

Busy, Busy, Busy...

Today is a busy day. Work has been steady but busy, I progressed a few more steps in deploying Windows Deployment Service (WDS), but currently working to get the proper permissions for Active Directory (AD) working.

My workout last night was pretty good, today is a busy day. My wife has a woman's meeting at 6:30, Megan has soccer practice at 6:00 and I have my workout at 6. So I will go to my workout, my wife will take Megan to practice and then I will get my daughter so my wife can go to her meeting. Like I said, busy.

Supper will be a quick sandwich, chicken nuggets or fish sticks. I know what you are saying, man what a healthy meal, but that is the life of a busy family. Better than fast food in my opinion.

Not much else going on. Wife will be leaving Thursday morning, so I have to prepare for that along with going on call tomorrow. This week will be really busy so if I don't post much you know the reason.

Till next time.
