Bethy turns three; And I take trip

Today was Bethany's birthday. She is now three OMG! I was just holding her in my hand yesterday. Where did the time go. Soon some dip #$%^ is going to be asking me for my daughters hand in marriage. I do not know that I will be able to handle it. I hope wisdom is bestowed on me from above or there could be jail time in my future. All kidding aside, my baby is not a baby anymore she is a big girl she even knows she is three. In fact if I call her baby girl she says I am a big girl now. Damn this is tough. I love my son dearly I could not be prouder of him, but I was not affected as much when he turned three. I love them so much but in different ways. In Tyler I have great pride, respect, and joy. Bethany just makes my melt. I really am blessed.

What seems to happen every birthday for either kid is I get called into work, with out fail. I am a on call Tech2/ Customer Service rep. This means some times I will get called out to anywhere at any time. I hardly ever get called in these days most issues I can resolve via the phone. Today however was equipment failure which requires me to go a running. So where I was going today is about an hour drive one way. Thank goodness her party is tomorrow. Everyone still had to wait for me to get home for are small family celebration. I was back by 7 which was not to late. I swear it never fails thought I always get a call on my kids Birthdays!

Up In Smoke

So when my wife and I met I new she was a smoker. She has tried to quit on a few different occasion but Nicotine is a one hell of a demon to be slayed. I try not to bust her chops to much. When we moved into our new house and she promised she would only smoke outside or in the basement. Well she did real good all summer but as soon as the weather turned so did she. Now she is smoking every where. I hate the smell even more now because at the apartment I was use to it. Now when I walk in the door from work it is like a smack in the face. The odder nearly knocks me out of my snow boots. The big problem is that see is an Internet junky. She loves it so she sets down and smokes and surfs. She has also added coffee to the mix so now it is one mega addiction. She was spending much less time online when see was smoking outside. I am a big boy and can handle myself. My concern is for the children who must breath in the deadly fumes. I do not understand how a mother who would do anything for her children (and she would she really is a great mother), wont just take the time to step outside. I think she feels that her family all smoked around her and she is fine. Well that can happen or your child could develop cancer. I am just saying it is a hell of a gamble to make. I love her dearly but do not know what to do about this. She has a bit of a temper and you never know what well set her off. Will my luck all please!

Heavy

I have been over weight for far to long about 3 weeks ago I decided it is time for a change. I have been working out in the basement on my old weight set for about 45 minutes a day. This is a start I need a bike or something for cardiovascular so I am working on getting one. I have been eating less but not better this 2 needs some fine tuning. No more excuses thought! I must transform myself into myself for I have not been me for some time now. So me willing and God willing I will acheive my goal of lossing 60 pounds by next year at this time. Faliure is not an option! My kids need me in their life I will not fall them or my self.

House Work

I hate house work I have never liked it. I can not seem to keep up on it which sucks. My wife is better then I am but that is not saying much. So as you might imagine the house gets dirty quick. It does not get filthy because we pull together when that is upon us but it is never truely clean unless some is going to visit. I just got done with the kitchen which is good. Now if I can keep my slef motivated I can ket to the living room and dinning room. Lisa is sleeping and she will help when I wake her up which is good. Oh well of to it we will see how far I get.
