…do you know where your children are?

They actually say that on the News here. Well. My little boy is fast asleep in his bed and his Daddy is sitting here writing yet another Blog Post. As an UpDate to the below post, I did clean up the kitchen and I did fold laundry and put that away. yay for me, domestic god of the century. Sometimes I do wonder, though… if it wouldn’t be awesome if I was a Stay At Home Dad and took care of the Boy and the House… but I really do enjoy fixing the planes.

It honestly gives me great satisfaction knowing that everytime I fix something on these planes it helps serve the U.S. Military mission and that, in turn, helps keep us free.

Now, whether I agree about how our leaders use the military in terms of Iraq, Afghanistan, etc… that is a different story. If you think everybody in the military in a Republican Warhawk, I’m here to tell you it isn’t true. Nothing makes me more uncomfortable than the notion of having someone like Fred Thompson or Giuliani running our country for four years.

Hmmm… perhaps a Policial Blog Post will be in the works for the future???

My son and I watched “The Goofy Movie” and I was thinking “Wow, that is us in 13 years right there…”  — If you have never seen this movie, Goofy is an over-affectionate father who constantly embarrasses his teenage son, Max. I am just like Goofy in my fathering. I believe in telling my son often how much I love him, I kiss him and I hold him and I’m just an overboard big softie Dad. I’m not one of those reserved, “My-Dad-Never-Said-He-Loved-Me” types.

My son is not even two yet and I do often wonder if I will be a constant source of embarrassment to him later on.

Highly likely.

Then we watched a Mickey Mouse movie and I could barely keep my eyes open. I don’t like being that tired when I am watching my son, but fortunately he was sitting in my arms with me on the couch so if he wanted to get down and play or anything it would wake me up.

Mommie got home at about 7:30pm and as soon as she walked in the door I let her take over and she gave him  a bath I think and put him to bed I don’t know because I fell asleep so hard until just now.

Well I think she went to bed and I’m going to bed and I’ll see you all in the morning with my weekly weigh-in. If I get the Urge to Eat tonight I’ll try and read some other BS blogs to distract myself.

…when you’re busy making other plans.

Well, BSers. I had a rough day at work last night. Only about 50% of things were going right, my boss was frustrated and his frustrations were felt by us and all in all, it just did not go well. Then I was so tired by the time I got out of there at about 8am but I still had errands to run like Dry Cleaning and picking up tix for the AF Ball.

Well I cam home and my wife had already taken my son to DayCare and we chatted for about half an hour and then I went to bed…

Less than an hour later at about 10:30am I woke up with the worst Urge to Binge and I gave in completely. Stuffed my face while watching Whoopi Goldberg on The View. That’s the only channel I could get today. Got back to bed at 11am and slept until 1:45pm when I had to wake up to go to a Med Appt. I was at Med for two hours, mostly just waiting. They extended my profile and prescribed some more meds.

Really, they don’t know… they don’t seem to get it that my pain is caused by nerves and not by anything like muscle spasms. It is getting very very frustrating.

Anyway. So my Dr appt was dissapointing, my foot is hurting again and I binged.

Wow.

Not too great of a Friday, huh?

Well I did get a haircut and now my son and I are just hanging out watching movies. He’s in kind of a bad mood. I made him dinner but he didn’t want to eat. He just wants to lay here with me and watch movies and drink water and juice.

Which is funny… because of my binge earlier I’m not hungry so all I’ve been drinking is water and Crystal Light. I’m probably not going to eat again until breakfast in the morning.

And even though it was an all-out binge, I suspect I may lose weight this week anyway, because at the Doc’s office in their scale it said 162 and that was in the middle of the day with shoes and clothes. Remember I was 161 last week and I was trying to be 158 by tomorrow AM.

I’m not that upset about “falling off” again. I just pick myself up and move on. After the Boy goes to bed, I may try to get in 4 miles for the walking challenge and then I’ll get to bed myself.

Thanks to everyone who congratulated us on the house. My wife ran a few errands for that today like getting Utlities turned on and I think she took a few boxes over there. I have to admit I’m a little frustrated with her this evening because she is downtown volunteering for the Humane Society even when this house needs some general upkeep like laundry and dishes done and she knows how tired and sleep-deprived I get when I am on Graveyard Shift and she knew I would have to get up at 2pm today and yet she still left me with The Boy to watch and the house to clean this evening.

But you know what? She doesn’t do that too often, and to be fair I did tell her I was Okay with her going. I guess I’m just kind of surprised she wanted to do that at all, considering everything else going on.

Well. My son is cranky. He will need a bath. I need to do laundry, clean the kitchen and walk four miles before bedtime. And I will probably write again tomorrow morning.

We’ll see what the scale says…
