That’s right, yesterday was post 750, quite a milestone if you think about it. 750 days of what happened in our lives. We’re feeling pretty good about things these days and I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that our Family Makeover, even though it will always evolve, will be right where we wanted it to be when we started, by post number 1000. We still have some short term challenges (like the next 2 months) but long term, meaning by the end of the year, we’re looking pretty good. I won’t bore you with the details but things are shaping up as planned for our family of four. Let’s hope they continue to stay that way!
It’s 5:30am and I went to bed about 8:30. I feel like I’ve been jet lagged since the 9th of January when I left for Italy. The one day turn around to Seattle this week didn’t help as I was up early and up late. Hopefully tonight will be the turning point where I can get my sleep back to normal. It’s not getting up early as I always do that but rather the quality of sleep I get.
Today we’re all headed to the stock show. Our friends buy something like 30 tickets every year and have 4 for us. The oldest will leave at 10am with their family while the youngest, the misses and I will head down a bit after lunch. Then we’ll all meet up for the Grand Rodeo at 3:30 this afternoon. We love it, seeing all the animals and checking out all the farm and ranch equipment and then watching all the events of the rodeo. Supposedly the seats are really really good.
After school yesterday the boys had chess club and Jen went with them as her Mom asked if we could take her home with us which we did. I was in and out all day from downtown to Boulder while the misses cleaned the house from top to bottom. I don’t know how she functions with her headache, she’s just flat out tough, she should be in the rodeo!
Both dogs are at my feet and Lacey seems no worse for wear after her little fall. I guess Grandma Dix and Pa Don are in Vancouver Washington at Larry’s for a brief visit. It’s great that they still travel like they do!
Time for me to run as I’m headed to the you know what, (the gym) and then should make it home before everyone gets up. It’s really my only addiction if I think about it. I’m pretty much through with alcohol, thanks to the misses quitting on Nov 21st, and I don’t really have any other vices or things I can’t live without, except my wife and the boys. I’m glad I started working out when I was 20 or so as it’d probably be hard to start in your 50’s. I still feel like I’m in my late 20’s or 30’s and am actually stronger physically now than I was then. I love it and have to go, it’s just my thing, so, see you tomorrow.
Take care and God Bless.
