Not sure who to vote for, but I like this answer

Though there are many points I would have loved to have added to it, Mike Huckaby's answer, when put on the spot (and on the clock) speaks for itself

Car, floor, gas lines, and basketball

Alright.

My parents are coming in to down today. Which is ok. They're taking the kids out for halloween. I really need my dad's help this week.

• Julie's car died, might be a bearing or a rod. Hope it's a bearing and I can fix it cheap, or else time for another $600.00 car.
• Redoing Sam's room; drywall, paint, floor.....fun wow
• running a gas line for the gas stove Julie bought. Thank you craigslist
  

In other news, Isaac and Abby had basketball and cheerleading try outs yesterday. That was 2.5 hours of pleasure (said with tongue in cheek). Simon and Sam did not want to be there. Isaac was scared to be in line by himself (register, size, uniform, skills). Abby wanted to hang out with her friends. So I ended up MAKING Abby stand with Isaac and I tried to get the other 3 to calm down by taking them to the car. So I'm in the parking lot and Abby and Isaac are doing God knows what in the church. I had wanted to see Isaac in the skills part, guess I'll have to wait for his first game. This is the first time Isaac has played B-ball, he played baseball in the spring for the first time and that went well.

Don't feel bad for me though. Last night at work, Julie had to do a manual extraction of some old guys poop. I'm not a nurse for a reason. Sorry honey, you'll get a better job, it's a means to an end.

I don't picture them in their underware.

As a Christian I'm commanded to share my faith. As someone who loves theater and performing, I like to do you on stage.

I've written several monologues and short skits. I've acted in lots. I suppose my biggest crowd was maybe 1000 people. I love the feeling I get looking out and seeing all those people hanging on my every word. It's such a wonderful opportunity to minister, I've never been very good one-on-one. But God has blessed me with the ability to do anything in front of people and not be embarrassed. At times this has been the bain of my wifes life, because she at times had been caught in my say what you want doesn't bother me cross fire. Sorry honey.

Anyway I say all this because I discovered the clip below on God Tube. This is amazing. I would LOVE to do this in church. Maybe soon.

off at 1:00 AM. Have heart attack and die with smile on face. Happy at last!

Just a quick hello

I spent all day with the 4 youngest kids. We had a good time. Julie was off with Abby hiking in the 55° and rain. I bet their both sick. I hope it was fun.

In the mean time, Julie has been working her but off 4 12's in 5 days. She says she's only going to do it till Christmas.

Along those lines. I got a new pay scale at work, a pay raise, and I should be going into a new airplane soon (another raise). That's 3 raises in a week AND Julie's working. I can't believe might be able to buy real food AND put gas in the car. Ya.

It's a few days before Halloween, you know what that means? I means it's a few days before the Christmas lights start going up :)

When should I go to sleep?

So now Julie and I are both working nights. I thought this would be good, but.........I can't go to sleep with out Julie being here. I know that's stupid. So I'm seating here at 2am blogging.

I wonder how Julie's doing at work? She doesn't usually stay up all night. And she's working 3 12's in a row. Maybe I can let here sleep all day on Thursday.

Anyway she gets home around 7am, so we can get breakfast for the kids together and get 'em up and off to school.

Oh.......I remember why I'm not sleeping. I have a colonoscopy tomorrow, I had to take a laxative and believe me it works. I can seat here, but everytime I stand up, I have to......well RUN to the bathroom.

Oh, well I hungry too. I'm going to try to clean some and do some laundry between trips.

I promise to go to bed before 3.
