20140131 - Sick Day

20140131 - Up in the am and to work. I had a good time out on the floor with the folks and made good headway. That was the last good part o the day...  One missing sentence in a report and the day went to hell, had to do escalation research all day...  Even had a crap work call on the way home...  Stopped to get food on the way home. Home to feed the troops. D in the basement playing xbox with some of his friends online, J memorized by the TV and L taking care of G who came home from school sick today...  We had dinner and watched a really good movie 'Dragon Pearl'. D&I to gas station and Grocery. Home for another movie.  Up late getting things done.

20140130 + FIRE Visit

20140130 + Up and into work for a day of exhausting meeting...  Home and L had taken D to basketball practice, J was watching TV and I went upstairs and woke G up from his long tent nap.  I have dinner with J&G and then spent some time working on a puzzle with L.  G all dressed up and took him to fire station to take a tour with his Scout Den.  It is the only firehouse in Gahanna with a fire pole.  The boys wanted to try, but were not allowed.  Didn't matter to them, hanging out in the trucks we all they needed.  Home and G ran his mouth for several days about the trip while we tried to watch American idol.  When his stories were exhausted we all went to bed.

I ate and then cleaned up the kitchen and got ready for the Scout evening.  My neighbor Jim loves his snow-blower and keeps the neighborhood driveways cleaned off, man I love that guy! Took D&G to Scouts, L dropped off J and picked up G. D came down and taught J's Scouts how to fold the flag while I taught a lesson I wasn't prepared to do... It went fine and the boys had a lot of fun. Home and dropped of D&J, picked up Doc and to Bible Bangers. Home and fell asleep with the laptop in bed.

20140126 + Locked In

20140126 + Up in the am and it was a super snow covered cold day to stay inside.  The boys played and played and played with things that didn't take batteries.  D listed some things on eBay, L did some sewing and I got caught up on things I haven't gotten done.  Being closed in we all got along well, several melt downs by the littlest ones, but for the mos part a great day.  L kept us fed and after dinner D went up to play with toys while the little boys watched a movie with L&I.  Up late and adding 2014 County Fairs to the Family Fun Calendar.

20140125 - White Out Bday Party

20140125 - Up working at desk a bit, D listing things on eBay, L getting groceries.  L took D&G to G's pictures and Basketball game.  I took J to his game, It was a complete white out on the way :-o  J's team didn't do so great.  I was yelling for them to get their hands up and evidently that interfered with their ability to play as J told me screamingly later at home...  All back home for a bit, skipping some activities dues to weather, but all out for D's basketball game.  It was a great fast physical close game, they lost by 1.  All of us then to Tina's 50th bday party.  We had lots of food and cake and it was a really good time just hanging out with our friends.

20140124 + Good Start, Late End

20140124 + Up in the am to a good morning and in to work.  Had a busy morning and went to Mexican Friday with a bunch of guys.  Back for a string of con calls and meetings.  Left late and met the family at Bellacino's for dinner.  DJ&I to the movie store to return G's video games and pay the $22 late fee...  Got a couple of movies and headed home.  The movies I got were not good, so I tried to find one on Amazon, but the internet was down.  Then I had to research cold weather camping and make a couple of calls to see if we were going to let D go camping 2 hours away down by the Ohio river.... NO, too cold, too much risk...  Then I helped L learn to post calendar events on her iPad.  Down to watch a movie with the boys.
