First birthday cake

It took me longer to get this posted than planned but those of you that are following along with the SuccessWarrior story know that it happens. That's about as messy as it got too. He didn't waste much by smearing it all over the place. He didn't eat that much either. He had enough and put the rest... Sign in to see full entry.

My wife is going to be getting a new job so that means a change of schedule

We aren't sure what her new shift is going to be, some kind of mixed shift of swings and graves. She works at a school but that means she has summers off. Instead of taking it off, she is going to work in a casino for the summer. She has been hired as a restaurant supervisor and should start this... Sign in to see full entry.

IMy wife is at work so it looks like I'll be doing some whacking today

I think she will be happy about it, a pleasant surprise for her. I'll wait until my son goes to bed for his nap and then I'll spring into action. We bought several supplies for tidying up the lawn. I'm going to start off with the weed whacker before I have to run back to the store for an axe. There... Sign in to see full entry.

Today is my son's first birthday and I have one last present to finish up

It was wife's idea and I thought it was a pretty neat idea. Each of us is going to write him a letter telling him the wonderful impact he has had on our life in just one year. We'll put them in his baby book and he can read them when he gets older. Everyday, I just look at him in amazement. You... Sign in to see full entry.

Women's preparation time or "Help, I'm stuck in a timed vault!"

We are going out to spend the day in civilization and celebrate my son's first birthday today. It's going to be a most of the day kind of thing. We'll leave here around 11am and get back in time for me to work my graveyard shift. That doesn't sound fun but I don't see anyway around it. Right now, my... Sign in to see full entry.

Wielding power for the sole purpose of wielding power?

My wife requested to have Wednesday off of work so we could head into civilization early in the day. Her mom is coming down from where she lives and we are all going to spend the day together. My wife's grandma is hosting the party as the closest to the middle for traveling for the rest of us. We... Sign in to see full entry.

Sunday just kind of flew right past and I still didn't get to bed on time

I did push back my wake up time so that I got 6 hours of sleep instead of 5. That helps right. Today is going to be one of those 24 hour days broken up by a nap of an hour, hopefully two. It looks like I'll have another one Wed/Thu which will probably stretch into about a 30 hour day. I'm hoping to... Sign in to see full entry.

My Saturday was filled fuller than I had planned

It was another long day for me, with not enough sleep. Besides work and martial arts, I ended up going in to see the doctor because the right side of my jaw is starting to swell up. She said it's some sort of infection and gave me an antibiotic and told me to see a dentist as soon as possible. Then... Sign in to see full entry.

I didn't get enough sleep yesterday but I feel oddly optimistic

For me, when I get tired, I tend to wear down not just physically, but emotionally. It's not that I went with very little sleep because 6 hours is enough to keep going on. Since I have been on graves for the last 5 months, I have tried to get closer to 8 hours of sleep on days when I'm going to... Sign in to see full entry.

The wonderful Bloggers of Blogit are why it is so fun to write here

Since my return to blogging, I have received so many positive comments that I have to wonder why in the world I quit writing in the first place. I could have written about my distractions if they were the only thing that I could think about at the time. Writing helps me to organize my thoughts and... Sign in to see full entry.
