What day is it?

It seems like a Sunday as the youngest was at a swim meet until 9:30pm making yesterday seem like Saturday. Mom took him over at 2 in the afternoon for warm ups and it all started at 4 or a bit after. There were five teams from different pools as this was the annual relay meet. He raced about 4:45 and then at 9! The rest of the time was spent playing with his friends. There had to be 250 or 300 people there, the misses said the fire department wouldn’t like it one bit. Meanwhile the oldest went down to Uncle T and Aunt B’s to hang out.

We watched his first race and then he wanted Mom to go home and get his Pokemon cards to play with. We both went home and when we drove back, there was no parking within 6 blocks! I smartly decided to drop the misses and head back home to clean the house as it needed it. My knee has been swollen more than usual the past few days as I’ve just been doing too much. I think I’ll take Annette’s advice below…..

Annette says:

Jean and I saw World War Z yesterday and it’s no wonder the boys were shaking. Brad Pitt was the best thing about the movie. Tell the Mrs. not to lift any boxes of wine. Maybe you both should hire some teen age kids to do the lifting.

Looks like we’ll head out to Steamboat Friday for a quick rest at the Steamboat Grand Hotel before driving up to Saratoga for lunch Saturday and then stopping in at the annual North Park picnic that evening before heading home. We should make it home around 10pm or so after the drive.

Today the misses has three meetings between, I think, 11 and 2:30. I have conference calls at 8 and 9am and then a quick appointment at 10. Looks like I’ll have the boys with me for the day. First up though I need to move the mountain of trash to the curb for pickup. I’m sure my guy will be thrilled with me. Every now and then for no special reason I give him $5 or $10 bucks throughout the year so he’s pretty good to us. If we forget to put our trash out, he’ll come get it from the side of the house. He works hard and I’m sure appreciates any tip he gets.

It’s still freakin hot and dry, that’s why we’re running out of town for a night. When you throw in all the cotton from our cottonwood trees, it’s just miserable. We’ll never buy another house with cottonwood trees in the yard. Its like it’s snowing in June around here. It gets in your car when you open the door to get in, and in the misses case, in her nose! She accidentally inhaled (unlike Bill Clinton) some cotton up her nose and can’t get it out!

Meanwhile I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention the Pres is taking his family to Africa for a vacation that’ll cost us up to $100 million dollars! Let’s see, he can’t keep the White House open for visitors at a cost of $17,000 per week but can take the wife and girls to Africa with him. I know it’s important for the Pres to take trips but why the wife and kids? Nice, we’re sure not very respected around the World anymore. It’s sad what’s happened to our country’s reputation. Oh well, had to throw that in but I’ll stop now.

Time to run, it’s almost 6am and time to get on that trash. Have a great day!
