OK so yeah it sounds like a bad B movie title. But honestly I have no idea how people can exist in that comatose state. I mena how can you be completely unaware of your suroundings that you stop mid stride in the middle of the hallway on a Saturday. Well excuse me I need to get past you, you fuck! I mena get over yourself and scoot your mangy ass over to the side. I have to stop so I don't lose my shoe up your ass and in doing so I get rearended by the yuppy bitch in the peg perego stroller as she talks on her cell phone drinking her Starbucks frappe completely ignoring the kid burried under the mounds of baby Gap blankets. Then what is with the out and out friggin weirdos, no I don't mean teens that have a goth afliction or the permanent bed head that is all the rage or even the teens that are one step away from looking like hookers. I mean the 40 somethign guys wandering around in boots that would make an Eskimo sweat in the arctic. I swera I saw this dude who looked like he was trekking the vast empty tundras of the antarctic. He had on a parka, touque, gloves big honking boots. The only thing he was missing was the flippin ski goggles. Oh and don't forget the gigantic backpack he was carting and the two grocery bags, one in each hand. To top off the whole mental image complete blank stare like the man was devoid of all conciousness. I mean holy crap what a flippin day at the mall...
So as if I didn't get enough of people on Saturday, I head out to the auto show on Sunday. Frig, I love the the show but dang the walking and the people... I am amazed that people take young kids to it. it took me like 7 hours to do the whole thing and there is no way I could do it with my boy in that time. I mean we were booking through some diplays and what have you... Anyway it was crowded but I didin't run into any of the freaks and complete idiots that seem to inhabit the malls.
So in conclusion I doubt that I will ever set foot into a Mall on a Saturday again... Saturdays at malls suck royally...

| You Should Rule Saturn |
 Saturn is a mysterious planet that can rarely be seen with the naked eye. You are perfect to rule Saturn because like its rings, you don't always follow the rules of nature. And like Saturn, to really be able to understand you, someone delve beyond your appearance. You are not an easy person to befriend. However, once you enter a friendship, you'll be a friend for life. You think slowly but deeply. You only gain great understanding after a situation has past. |
Ha ha my soul looks like it has boogers up it's nose....
OK so I have been pretty busy lately with painting the kids bathroom. It looks nice but we need to accesorize and junk maybe get some photos up and make it a little more ocean like. I like the colour it's very wow kinda colour not as blue as i was hoping for but a good colour none the less. I am also pleased with my paint job too...
maybe I'll post a pic up here some day. Now I am off to work on the upstairs hall. I need to do all the trim first and get that looked after... then on to the walls... I never realized how much painteing there was to be done in the house....
Oh I just thought I should make those that read this that I will no longer be posting anythign about my book here. I have made a new blog specifically for that....

My Soul?
Meh a stupid five question quiz to add more fluff to my blog...
| What Your Soul Really Looks Like |
 You are a warm hearted and open minded person. It's easy for you to forgive and forget. You are a grounded person, but you also leave room for imagination and dreams. You feet may be on the ground, but you're head is in the clouds. You believe that people see you for how you are, not how you look. But deep down, you know that's not exactly true. Your near future is calm, relaxing, and pretty much what you want. And it's something you've been anticipating for a while now. For you, love is all about caring and comfort. You couldn't fall in love with someone you didn't trust. |

What defines a parent?
Ok I have thought about this for a lot over the last 24 hours. My littlest was nasty ill last night. Like huge spewage and copious amounts of liquid poo. Any I was thinking am I a good parent? I mean I can be short tempered with both my kids and sometimes I can simply be no fun at all for them. I have a tendancy to hide behind a book sometimes or stay at work really really late and only see them for like an hour before they go to bed. However, I do think I am still a good parent.
I was listening to my youngest cry last night and it was kind of that whine cry they give you to see if you'll come rescue them when they don't want to go to sleep. Then he hit the "I'm hurt and I am in pain" cry and it was on. Wifey was sleeping and she had the boys all day and was up early with him so I let her sleep. I head out to the little man's bedroom and he's standing in the crib so I go to pick him up and he drapes himself over me, which is so not his MO. It took all of 30 seconds before he covered my shoulder and back in his evening bottle of milk. it looked like feta cheese. So I think well I'm covered in puke and well I'm not really upset. Normally you get puked on by some one you get upset. I think a good parent doesn't mind getting puked on so much sure it's gross and all and you are still thinking eeeewww but you never show that. So here I am stinking of puke and holding a little guy that is quite upset with what transpired he's covered in puke and I am just consoling him trying to get him to settle down.
Well in any event I things like that are what define a good parent. How you deal with adversity like vomit and liquid poo and what ever else the little buggers can do. I know I don't deal well with my own bodily fluids and I certainly could never be a doctor but for some reason when it has to do with my kids it doesn't seem that bad...

Holy snow, Batman
The snows coming down pretty hard today. We've been hit with about 8 inches of snow, and it's all powder, and the wind is blowing. The drive in to work really sucked this morning, it was really slow, and the roads were filled with morons. I did have one laugh though on the way into work. I saw one of those bad ass Dodge pickup trucks, you know the type 20 inch rims, low-profile tires, short bed. It was a really nice pickup truck until I saw the goofy little logo on the side of it. It had a little black and yellow engine with a stupid little wings out of it. And underneath that little logo it had the words "rumble bee" written underneath it. Just something that really made me laugh as I drove in to work.

My Monday
So Monday morning rolls around, I awake too queasy feeling in my stomach. I managed to get up and go about my regular business. Take the boy to school and make my way in to work. I sit at my desk for about an hour and a half, huge waves of nausea are affecting every aspect of my being. Finally, it explodes and everything comes up. Well, I feel much better after that and off I go to pick my son up from school. We stopped off at the local McDonald's to get him some lunch. I opt out of the greasy spoon food, as I'm still not 100%. We drive back to the office, and I am suddenly hit with waves of tiredness and I feel extremely weak. I let the boy finishes lunch, and even though he didn't want to go back home we left or right after that.
On the drive home it was all I could do to stay awake. We made it back to the house, and I told Thomas that he was to leave me alone as I really needed to have a nap. But he would be able to come and talk to me if he really needed some help doing something. Thomas let me how about a two hour nap without any interruptions, which I was extremely grateful for. He came bounding into my bedroom at about 3 p.m., proud as can be. He was quite pleased that he was able to get himself up plate and some leftover french fries, he also got to catch up out of the fridge and made himself a little snack of cold french fries. Not my idea of a great snack, but he was very proud of himself for doing that on his own. Well by this time I was awake so I decided to go downstairs and rest on the couch. He came to visit me at the couch and that every 30 minutes just to make sure that I was okay, or if I needed anything. It made me quite happy is a parent to see my little son acting like such a grown up. I am quite proud of my little boy, just as I am sure I will be proud of my second son when he grows up. It's little things like this that really kind of warm your heart and make you glad that you have children.

Man, hat's off to single parents...
OK so I have been picking up my little guy the past few days and I have also been dealing with my oldest at the same time too on some of those days as well. Well Last night was one of those days...
So I figure OK I have both kids I am picking them up late got to get something quick right? McDonalds it is. So anyway I go to the one near the house so the food will be hot when he get there the boys are behaving well so all is good. Right up until the idiot in the gigantic SUV it in front of us. The McD's is one of those drive throughs that have two ordering lanes and well this moron of a human being is stopped infront of both flippin lanes! I mean sure it was busy and the line up didn't allow her to move right away but that is not the time to reorganize you change in your ashtray you are in a fast food drive through pay attention and friggen move when you have room to do so. A friggen eternity goes by while she fucks about in her SUV, which by the way she chould barely see over the steering wheel. Anyway I finally get home and serve the kids their meals and it wasn't too bad of an evening with the two of them but dang I really wish I could hide from the two of them for a few moments. I just want time to go to the bathroom in peace ya know? Nothing quite like going to the bathroom when you have some one banging on the door asking me what I am doing or simply wailing because they can't get through the door. Tough! The door was created by adult for a reason kids figure it out...
Anyway I totally tip my hat to anyone who has to do the parenting thing on their own. It's a tough gig when you have a substitute to fill in for you but when you are both offence and defence with no players witing on the bench to fill in that's a tough gig. I mena my mom did it on her own for a bit but I was the youngest and I was 10 at that time so we were pretty self sufficient.
Anyway I am out once more

Well, well, well, well...
Dealing with kids is getting different. My littlest is well... strong willed... OK well he's the demon child that Satan didn't want... but he's really cute...
OK well here goes he is more of a doer than my oldest was. He doesn't communicate much and when he does it's not always clear so he gets pissed off and starts wailing about this, that and the other. I love the little guy but he has been just killing me as of late. He is so demanding and needs full attention all the time. I am trying to cook dinner and he is pushing me out of the kitchen and yes an 18 month old is strong enough to do it. He's my little hulk baby. He seems to cling to whomever picks him up at the daycare for the night. He can be a very sweet kid with lots of giggles and smiles but when he has to do something he doesn't want to do, lookout 'cause the fury within will be without in no time. He is also much louder than my oldest too. I know I am not supposed to compare kids and stuff like that but how do you really stop?
Anyway I am going to pick up the little man again tonight and it will be just him and I for a while as the eldest and wife have a dentist appointment.
I would still love to be a stay at home dad and not have to work even though the little buggers get to me some days. I think it would make me much more active as I would have to keep the boys busy and well lets face it they kids think I am their own personal portable playground...
T out!
