That's my life: October 2005 Archives

yes, I'm that young. :moon

My day started out pretty good, got to wear my costume to work (wore the vampiress one for those that remember it) We were having a luncheon today (they do it every year) I'd gotten the latest Melissa CD from my wife, and a card was waiting for me from Ran when I woke up...if nothing more than that it would have been a great day. :1luvu
I got to work, and my co-worker had decorated my cubicle, which was one of the sweetest things anyone had ever done for me...so I call my wife, wake her up, and because it's my birthday she drives out there with the camera so I can take pictures of it (that's got to be love, I'm tellin ya!) :notworthy
So she gets there, with camera, Balloon that SINGS (don't worry, be happy...now that I've gotten it stuck in YOUR head too...) and flowers :biggrin
Pictures will come when I get my hands on the camera and download the pics :lol
While I'm at work, Jet and WhteTigr call with their birthday wishes (thank you Tig for finishing the song :wink )
When the workday's over, and I get home, the phone starts, and doesn't stop for what seemed like hours!
First I heard from my boys, then I talked to Bluewolf, then Ran, M (my wife), My Dad, My sister (the one just younger than me), and Ran again. I know while I'm on the phone I got several calls in between, and one was unknown that I wasn't able to switch over quickly enough. :hum
goodness....I can't forget the card and thread from all my friends over at PA, the messages and emails when I was afk...my brain is smoking from trying not to forget anyone!! :eyes
I just want to say thank you all, for making this the best birthday to date. I love you guys!! :kisses

Always
~T~

yes, I'm back...thank you to those that realized I was gone and contacted me to ask how the trip went....it was wonderful
Last Wed. I flew out to TX to visit my kids...what started out to be a rather uneventful trip turned into anything but!

My father had called the night before I left, and when he found out I was coming to see the kids, asked about what our plans were. Well, to be honest, we really didn't have any...just spending time together and play it by ear from there, so he invited us down for a camping trip at the 4-wheeler park he goes to.
Needless to say, when I mentioned it to the boys, they were all for it! :lol

So, Wed. night, my flight gets in, I pick up the car and drive to OK...I hadn't even been in the state 15 minutes and I'm getting pulled over and get a speeding ticket!
finally get to the motel (about 2:00 am) and manage to get some sleep before picking the kids up at 7:30
my oldest had gotten to bring his uniform home...so got some pictures of him in that, and we were on the road for 'grandpa's' house!
the next day (Friday) we headed for the park...rode around, and let me tell you, my oldest can RIDE!! He has his own 4-wheeler now, and was the first time that he'd really ridden by himself...my father put him through his paces, and he managed to impress even the old man (I know from experience that's not an easy job!)

Saturday was spent with more ridding, spending time together, and basically enjoying the time we had...(until their dad showed up, my father had invited him :angry)
not much I could do about that, I just wish the 2 of them would think about how their actions affect others sometime...but I did enjoy the time spent with my kids...the hurricane held off long enough to allow me to get back home, and my 2 youngest boys have swore they're coming to FL next year :happydance
(possibly the oldest too, I'm really hoping, but he hasn't decided yet)

I do have pics that will be posted as soon as I get them developed....and since there's nothing else I feel comfortable putting here, I will close this now.

till next time!
