I'm trying to keep 'one of those mornings' from becoming 'one of those days'

The morning is usually the hardest part of my day. Getting two kids up, changed, packed and ready for daycare isn't as easy as I thought it would be, but I am getting better. Today was going good, I had both of them bundled and loaded up in the car when I realized that my back tire was really low. I didn't have three quarters to get some air at the gas station so I searched high and low to gather up enough change. I went to the gas station and changed in the 6 dimes and 3 nickels for 3 quarters. Once I got back to my car and the air compressor and started filling up the tire I noticed that it wasn't inflating at all. Perfect.

I drove back home on the same flat tire, causing minor damage to my chrome wheel. I unloaded the kids back into the house and called for back up (because I don't have a socket and air wrench to get the wheel off, and you can't use the standard crowbar) and he was happy to head my way. I got to work at 8:30 which wasn't too bad considering.

I sat down at my computer and tried to brush off the mornings festivities, but to be honest I was still bothered by the whole deal. A gal I work with asked me, "How did trick or treating go with the kids? ". I was tempted to be in a bad mood, but I shook it and happily started in on explaining the night. No more than 5 words into my explanation she was paying no attention to my story -so I quit mid sentence. She didn't notice I quit, nor did she even acknowledge the fact that she completely ignored me. It drove me completely insane. Don't ask a question to ask a question. She then had the nerve just minutes ago to say, "Well you have sure been quiet today!" No shit you rude ass! I'm not in to talking to myself, and she sure isn't in to listening to the answers of the questions she asks (case in point, she had asked me 4 times what Bella was going to be, and again asked today what she was!)

Oh well I guess. Time to get back at it!

The ever changing, never ending list.

I hear a lot about bucket lists. I dunno, maybe I have one. More of my 'lists' are current lists, 5 year lists, 25 year lists...but I guess they all could be bucket lists because we don't know how much time we've got at the dance. Over the past 2 years my wants have drastically changed. I've been focusing on simpler things, true things. Not reaching so much for more, just trying to enjoy what is here more. That goes for family, friends, opportunity, relationships...not material things. (Except I really really want a canoe or kayak so I can get out on the water soon) Is it possible to make a list that won't change?  Is it possible to remain true to the values of a 34 year old father, when those very values seem to have shifted based on life experiences? Are the items on my list too specific? Maybe... Love Honesty Compassion Health Fun More to come on this one I'm pretty sure.

Take us out to the ball game.

Last night we ventured over to the Explorers baseball game after dinner, it was great. Jordan talked to the X's pitching crew out in the bull-pin for a while, and they ended up giving him a ball. He's such a sports guy! The pitcher that gave him the ball said, "Can you give it a throw?" and so he did...over his head out into left field! Of course my diva Bell had more fun doing spins and drinking a slush, but that's all good. I love my family.
