Yes. I'm sure I got sandbagged by the same family that got me hired to start with.

I would hope not but with the way politics are out there its totally possible.
Bens's right, start with your daughters team I a few years and move on up with her... Lots more fun and you spend quality time with her and her friends as well.... That's what I did until they got into Jr high school.....
It has been one of those days. It is nearly 11pm. I am just now slowing down. Couldn't get any continuity. Just a chopped up day where it feels as if you aren't accomplishing anything. My wife comes home from a 12+hr day. She is an RN. She works hard. She was unable to assist given her schedule. So. . . Amidst my choppy day, I managed to juggle three kids, a building inspector, move 4 loads of top soil, juggle 4 employees, and miss lunch. Then I have someone who wants to bellyache and complain who was gnawing at my ear. You know what? Bug off! We all have our headaches and frustrations. In spite of the obstacles which frustrated me and kept me from getting a good flow of work done. . . . I still managed to keep everyone else happy I dealt with. As I reflect on what I did accomplish, while it felt as if I were spinning my tires, I actually got a lot of shit done. Quit trying to rain on my parade person. Not a person out there who doesn't have headaches, stresses, and frustrations. Deal with it. Don't try to drag me down into your self pity. Tomorrow is a new day and my plate is just as full tomorrow as it was today.:smiley_coolpeace:
Rant over. Thanks for letting me vent fellas.

Had one of the roughest nights I've had in a while last night. My buddy called me at 1am all torn up and upset telling me his mom just passed away from a heart attack. She was in her early fifties. And earlier that week we were just talking bout how his life is just about to change for the better cuz he's getting outta the military soon and his wife is due in the next couple of days with their first son.
Then I got another call around 4:30 from my mom saying my grandmother can't breathe and is on her way to the hospital. She's 90 and about 100 pounds but she's as tough as nails. She just called me the other week telling me she just had her highest bowling score, 226! And that's without bumpers. Hilarious woman too, she'll scold me when I say fart(it's pass gas guys) but she'll turn around and curse up a storm because a non-American won the golf US Open.
Anywho it's gonna be a long day today.

Awesome to hear TJ! Sorry to hear about your buddy losing his mom though! Thoughts and prayers to him and his new family.
Your grandma sounds like a goodin'! Glad she's doing better!
RIP Jeri. Went to school with her from kindergarten on. Went to church with her. Lost touch for awhile. She was married. Had 3 kids. Divorced. Worked as a dispatcher at the sheriff's department. Got remarried. Helped raise two step kids. They had two children together. One of her daughters is in my daughter's grade, another in my son's grade. We have spent time together at many ball games with the kids. It was nice to get to know an old classmate again and get to know her husband and children at the same time. Great people. Complications after their last child's delivery revealed cancer. Saturday they celebrated her 39th birthday and their son's first birthday. Today, she went to heaven. Has a stepson serving in Afghanistan and a year old son who will never fully know her. It is a sad day for our local community. Jeri was probably one of the toughest women I knew. She will be missed. Hope I didn't screw up the details of the kids. Doesn't really matter. Her husband helped raised her's like they were his own, and she helped raise his kids like her own. Not many blended families have this type of unity, bond, and love. This is a big loss for a great family and anyone who knew her.

well my luck continues!!! bad luck that is!!!! got out of my truck this morning in the parking lot at work and POP went my right ankle, worked till noon on it and then couldnt take it anymore, called my Dr. got an appointment for 3, to make a long story short, after x-rays I will know in the morning if my ankle is fractured. If its not then I he thinks I tore some tendons in it!
That sucks man. Just need to put you in a bubble and wrap you in bubble wrap before we send you anywhere.
Hang in there Tad. Hope the news is good and you just sprained it.

Well got the report on my ankle this morning, no apparent fractures, Dr suspects either stretched or torn ligaments, will be wearing an ankle brace for awhile , stay off of it as much as possible, but I can go back to work ? , ice when I can, if it isn't getting better or starts to get worse in 2 weeks I need to come back
Hope you heal up quickly and fully Tad.
Just left the funeral. Need to get work done. Not going to be easy to get motivated to put in half a day work. That was tough. With young children involved, it is never easy. RIP Jeri. Know we will be there for your family in the coming months and years.

That's tough for sure Phil sorry to hear that, thoughts and prayers for the family.
Tomorrow is my 3 year old's surgery. They are putting tubes in his ears again, and removing the adenoids and tonsils. Everyone I talk to says this will make everything better, so Im just praying for a smooth operation. We are taking him out for a fun night tonight since the next few days will be spent not moving too much. Gotta load up on the popsicles and jello I suppose
