Well, you would think that, given I'm on spring break, that I'd have some time to update
this blog. Instead, I've been vegging out. I've been so stressed over various aspects of my life that I've been using the free time to do chores, watch tv, eat, etc. Just normal stuff that I do every day anyways. The only unusual thing that I can think of that I've done is help my daughter get her car title transferred, get her plates, request info from an insurance company, etc.
She's just about at the point where she can use the car - just needs to sign some insurance papers and send a check.

Oh well, I really needed some down time.

spring break tomorrow. ever try to do a vacation with no money and 3 teens + 1?
Sigh

here we are, at the end of march. Weather is, as expected, cloudy/rainy. Temps around 50.
People at home are testy. I have a headache, muscle cramps, and more.

However, I'm better off than others, and so I hang in and move on.

18 yrs ago today, I was sitting in a hospital delivery room with my wife, as our second child was about to be born. When she finally arrived, my story is (and I will always maintain this is true) that she began attempting to verbalize as I held her - and that she continues to this day to be highly verbal and social.

What a lady she is turning out to be. I'm so proud of my girl. She's applied herself to her senior year studies and has the grades to prove she can do it.

Just a few more months, baby, and you'll be out of high school. Then there's college and whatever follows.

life is a bit frustrating right now - struggles at home with various family members, headaches and congestion, exhausted, hungry. Sigh. And then there's a problem with someone in email.
Oh well, just another day.

St. Patrick's day. I forgot my green, and it seems unlikely that I'll get corned beef and cabbage today - out of luck when out of money.

Sigh.

last night I picked up my daughter at the end of the evening. When I went to go back into our house, my knee seemed to 'give out' (buckle, no longer hold me...). My daughter ran inside, got my eldest son, who helped me back inside. I took a couple of alieve and slept downstairs fitfully. I'm hobbling around today.

Another week of 'not yet spring' in Ohio - that means weird temperature swings, unexpected snow showers, etc.

Next week is a tough week. First, my daughter turns 18. Then spring break begins and I have to figure out how to keep 4 bored family members out of trouble, debt, fighting with one another...

arggg

arrrgggg!

migrate already today, plus kids got up late so i had to run them to school.

and in theory i will be out late tonite taxing the kids to an event.

i'm so tired and feel so sick.

just another day, with lots of work, confusion, chaos, and other normal stuff in it.

weather bodies threaten 1-3 inches of snow. my realaudio radio station appears to be down. just finished up helping in another gnome class - back to debugging the c code. sigh.

weather is very cold this morning.
yesterday, when I left the house there were a few snow flakes, and that was all.
When I arrived at work - about 16 miles away, the ground and roads had a coat of snow. When I got back home, the ground had some snow, but it was still clearer than on the other side of town.
Weird.

I really run into some weird things at times - for instance, the Seth Green show Robot Chicken. That show is so warped. There are offensive things, weird things, funny things, and things which are a combo...

Weekend is a blur. Went to Dayton one day, went to Jackson one day, kind of vegged out, etc.

life continues to be a cycle of work, care for the kids, occasionally church, then sleep, with bits of variation a few times a month...

ran an errand, picked up one of the kids after work, fixed a lite supper, sat down to watch some tv, woke up 2 hrs later having blown nearly the whole evening, left at 10:40 to pick up another child 'from work', found out 25 minutes later the child had been finished with work at 7 and had walked to visit with friends... grrrr...

Picked up my new glasses and the 3 new Miyazaki DVDs last nite, then went home and watched I, Robot. Fixed supper, did some laundry, picked up one of the kids from work.

March is here. There's snow on the ground, and a 'threat' of 1-3 inches by end of day.
