 July 7th, 2011 For quite awhile now, Del and I have wanted to take the kids on a family trip, but our financial situation prevented us from doing so. Since last summer, we’ve been saving up what little we could with a trip to San Diego in mind. San Diego is close enough to drive to, which would [...]
 July 2nd, 2011 Kenny Chesney has a song called “Don’t Blink” which talks about how fast time flies. Don’t blink or else you will miss it. Well I feel like I blinked. Half of the year has officially passed and I barely noticed it. Of course I remember specific moments and events throughout the year, but as a whole, [...]
 May 27th, 2011 Being a temp worker is an unstable occupation. You work an assignment, get to know the people around you, then leave without knowing if or when you’ll see them again. You leave not knowing if or when you’ll work again. If you’re lucky, you’ll have another assignment already lined up or will get one within [...]
 May 16th, 2011 Last week was my birthday and I got an early present — a new job! Granted, it is only temporary — 2 weeks — but it is back at the company I was last working for and it’s paying 50% more than I was making before. The new job is more interesting and a lot [...]
 April 27th, 2011 If you’ve read my previous posts, you know that I decided to follow my dreams pursuing a job at the company I’ve temporarily been working at. Well, it seems God has taken my words to heart and is calling me on them. Last week, my assignment was cut short, so Thursday was my last day [...]
 April 16th, 2011 Well, thanks to Nick and the IRS, the living room is back to its same old sorry state. I remember when Chase was little, he would destroy so many things that I actually called him Destructo Boy. Well, Nick is the Destructo Boy of the living room and his and Chase’s room. Not that he [...]
 April 15th, 2011 Ever since the beginning of the year, I’ve seen message after message about following your dreams. From cards to emails to magazine articles, I’ve been reminded of the importance of following your dreams. Well, today was the day I took that message to heart.
If you’ve read some of my past posts, you know that I am working in [...]
 April 14th, 2011 I heard of a condition the other day that closely describes what we are experiencing with Nick. It’s called Apraxia of Speech, among other things. Supposedly, Dr. Oz discussed it on his show last week, but I couldn’t find anything about it on his web site. From what I’ve ready, children with this condition can [...]
 April 11th, 2011 Operation Clean Up the house had a slight regression this week, at least as far as the living room is concerned. Nick won a small battle having things the way he wants them, but I don’t expect it to last. The biggest battle is getting him to put his toys away. I also have to [...]
 April 7th, 2011 Today the kids did their part to help the people of Japan who were affected by the recent earthquake and terrible sunami. Their school held a “Jogging for Japan” jog-a-thon. Chase was particularly eager to participate. Del & I pledged a dollar each for every lap the kids did on the field at school. Since [...]
