Home Alone

Being home alone is awesome. Unless your me. Either I have developed a serious attatchment to my girls (who are gone today), or I am just a wuss. Maybe a little of both. Its like way to late for a nerdy high school teacher to be up blurging, but I just have all this extra time to kill, yah right. Rache and the 3 crazies are all up in Clearfiled by this time and I pretty much miss them too much. I used to have the time of my life when it was all empty in the house (before marriage mind you), running round in my undies & catagorizing CD's.
Man, times have a changed. Its pretty sweet having little girls who climb all over me and beat me up and stuff. Even Rachel gets into it soemtimes, she just likes to pound me around and do crazy amateur circus tricks. I'm already missing them and I cant wait to see them tomorrow night.
Tomorrow I am showing a movie in my class for the first time all year. I always try not to show flicks, especially in Sp.Ed. class. But every day before a holiday, the kids are nuts and are pretty much worthless with their attention spans, and with a consequent heaping of ADD, ADHD, SLD, ED, or just plaing doofus syndrome, they just need a movie to keep them interested for a few minutes to get them out the door. I'm showing the old Robin Hood movie where Kevin Costner has a sweet mullet. We are covering the middle ages and so it is a little appropriate I guess.
I'm stoked to get up to Utah and hang out for a few days. I'm ready to destroy some bunnies, some turkeys, and of course bless Lucy. We have Rachel's Mom's bishop letting us bless her in his ward on a non fast Sunday. Which is great so everyone can come. I really wanted to bless her here, but thank goodness Rachel was the smart one and pulled us all up there. I'm glad I married her, because over time I really dont have to think that much I guess. She always makes the best decesions it seems like- I mean look who she married! HAHA. No- seriously, she has a pretty settled and confiding regulation of common sense. Alot of people could get along better just doind what Rachel says, just ask her. Well its late and I prpbably should not have written all this much, just remember I am not responsible for anything I metally or physically produce after 10pm.

Peace Out

An update

Hey there kids, I have not updated my blurg for some time and it needs to be done. Like anyone responds or comments to my entries anyway. So life has been crazy the last few weeks. Here's what went down yesterday. Rachel took the girls to get some shoes at the store and so Lucy and I hung out together for most of the day. Translation: Lucy slept through the day and I watched 7 episodes of 24. Season 5 is getting intense. I called Jefferson up and told him he reminded me of the "Edgar" - (who dies from nerve gas). Only Jeff is slightly less proportioned in weight. So after my 24 maraton - I got to go do a fountain at the Hard Rock hotel. It was a small gig with only 80 people so a little bit of chocolate went a long a way. So I set the mofo up and jetted out to the House of Blues to see Dragonforce! Hot Dog I was excited. Right before the opening band came on- the CEO of "The Chocolate Guy / Las Vegas" called me and let me know the fountain was not doing well and looked carppy. the CEO / Boss (Rachel) said to get back there and fix it up. DANM! No re-entry to the House of Blues. Well- business before pleasure I guess. Too bad the business screwed up my pleasure. So I talied it over to the party at Hard Rock and much to my sidmay - the OCD party planner just didnt like how much choclate was in the fountain. It was just fine - he wanted it to look really full. Thanks alot dude, you screwed me out of a sweet power metal concert. No biggy- I filled it up and kept their confidence. You see the chocloate foundtain business is a fickle industry. Sometimes your clients just want more, and you gotta be there for em. Soooo, back to H.O.B. I forked over my next months alowance and got in to see the band. I got to see about 3.5 songs (songs lasting 6-8 minutes really) and had to go back to get the fountain. What a night. At least I put a few miles on the van to write off when taxes are due. Yah!

I'm getting excited for Thanksgiving, mostly to shoot some rabbits if everyone can get together. PLanning a hunting trip is tricky with everyones schedules - hope we can pull it off. We have decided I think to bless Lucy in Utah somewhere that weekend. Its an off Fast-Sunday, so we might have to do it in someones house. I dont really want to - but thats the only way we could get everyone there together. We once again are coming to Utah for the greater good I always say. Rachel and I really love Vegas, but its a pickle to get these big events organized so all the fam can jump in with it. So - everyone who wants to come to Lucy's blessing- keep your ears open wherever its going to be.
