I don’t feel alright because you make promises that you break.

by J.C.

Took the kids to Monkey Joe’s last month and they enjoyed it for a half hour.

2 A’s and a B for my first semester back to college. Not too bad at all. Second semester is sucking mostly. Just cannot get motivated to do anything I need to.

We got a cat. She climbs in the Christmas tree. She’s a bitch.

Then we got another cat. He’s a bastard as well. But they sure are cute.

Christmas was fun this year. Kiara got a 3ds with the new Mario game that was fun for a couple weeks but then it was over. Penelope could enjoy it a little bit more. I think next year is the year that she will finally be able to open all her presents. She got a car that she loves cruising around in.

I’m sure, like always, there are things that I forgot to mention but usually whatever I have pictures of is what I remember so that’s about it.

What if it was true and all we thought was right was wrong?

We went on vacation back at the beginning of August up in Milwaukee. It was a fun time for sure. We stayed at a really nice resort and went to a couple different amusement parks and ate some good food.

Penelope turned one back in September. It continues to amaze me how much she grows everyday. (more…)

No matter what, you can’t say no to me in my dreams.

by J.C.

We went on vacation with my parents a few weeks ago and had a great time. We went to the Dells in Wisconsin. It was nice to get away for sure. If I get time I might post some pictures or something if there are any worth posting.

So since last blog I took a new job with the local cable company here in town. US Sonet. New web-site coming soon. It’s pretty terrible. I’ve been working both jobs to make the switch to the new not as drastic on myself. Makes for long days and really long weeks. Yesterday was the first football game of the year and I was running the Tricaster for it. It’s a lot of shit to have to worry about just to broadcast one game. Switching cameras, score board overlay, going to commercial, instant replays, muting the announcer so you can hear the commercial. Usually on bigger set-ups than this there is one guy in charge of it and then multiple people underneath him that handle each thing, not here. One man show. So I’m not happy with the way a few things looked last night but overall I am. With only two camera’s it’s hard to do much else than switch between them. Next week I think we will be starting new commercials to air during the game’s. And then another game on Friday night. I spent 14 hours at the Studio yesterday so hopefully I get things down a little better and the games won’t drag on as long. For someone who despises football a 3 hour game is forever.

A little sad to be saying goodbye to the grocery business. It’s been mostly good to me and my boss has always been a nice guy to deal with and talk to. I’ve met a crap ton of people and made a lot of friends but when you get a chance to do things you are generally interested in you shouldn’t pass it up.

Also, I’m taking three courses this semester which I haven’t even really looked into yet. Maybe after I get the new job in order I will. It’s just non-stop work right now though. I miss my family like crazy every day. I go home and they are all in bed and I hardly seen them at all that day. Stef goes to school everyday and the girls go to day care so if they aren’t up when I get up then I don’t see them. Yesterday I went home for 45 minutes before the game started and Penelope seemed so happy to be in my arms. As a parent, it makes you feel good and bad all at the same time.

I Won’t Remember What It’s Like To Be Young Again.

by J.C.

Want to see what a birthday is like for a full-time father and worker then look no further.

5:30 – Wake up. Kiara has swim meet at 7 so Stefanie set the alarm for 5:15 and got up so I’m awake now.

6:45 – Scheduled to work at 7 but there’s nothing to do at home so might as well work. Oh joy. Larry, the Saturday regular is waiting for me. Think I’ll keep the doors locked until 7 just to avoid him a little longer.

9:15 – Treating my self to a glorious Burger King breakfast. Sold a grill for $10 at a garage sale yesterday so I’m splurging on myself. Damn, their iced mocha’s are good.

10:24 – Took a birthday dump. It wasn’t very good to me.

2:00 – Was just staring at a guy’s horrible tattoo on his leg. It was of a stick figure that looked like the Tin Man with puppet strings. Then I realized it was a fake leg and it was just sharpie drawn on it.

4:15 – Finally off work and home. Greeted to presents from wife and kid. T-shirt I’ve wanted for a while, House Blu-Ray, and chocolate goodness.

5:30 – Birthday nap. Not much different than normal day nap.

7 – Birthday dinner: china buffet. Its what kiara picked and she didn’t eat any. Not very good.

8:45 – Watched Criterion’s House. What a bizarre film. I don’t know how anyone could ever explain it to anyone. I mean a piano eats a Japanese chick!

10:15 – Washed baby bottles.

11 – Stefanie went to work. Back to being bored by myself again.

Worked on this new theme for the blog until almost midnight then got in bed because it was storming. 15 minutes later Kiara joins me scared.

And that is the birthday of a father who works full time. If you would like to have the pleasure of this type of birthday just have a couple kids and then rack up some bills.
