I'm a Slacker who lacks sleep.

Ok, so its been over 2 weeks since I last blogged about anything. It was about that time that Faith started back to work. My free time has been severely slashed. I am usually good at managing time to accomplish things by using what free time I do have very effectively. It doesn't work according to my plans anymore with a child that eats every 2 hours and is constantly in need of something. On top of that, the lack of sleep overnight while Faith is working doesn't help motivate me to do things when I have a free moment to breathe. Typically I just want to sleep. But we have the first 2 months under our belts with K.C. Eventually I will get her to sleep through the night for me, or at least only get up once between 11 Pm and 5 AM. We have definitely been very busy people lately. It just never seems to slow down at all.

This weekend is our annual Scavenger Hunt with the Youth Ministry. We are totally siked about it right now although we have a lot left to do to get ready. I am hoping for a really good turnout this year. I will put more up here later about how it goes.

Mr. Mom

Yes it has been a week since I last blogged. My wife reminded me last night because she may be the only person that actually reads my blog. I don't believe that I have ever received a comment for anything I put out here.

Anywhoo, I have been a little busier than usualy since last Wed. Faith went back to work on Wed night and I get to watch the kids all night and drop them off at the sitter's before I go to work in the morning. K.C. still eats every few hours, so that means I get to wake up in the middle of the night to feed her. The first night I got 3 hours of sleep. Not really enough to function at full capacity. The second night I got 4 hours. Thats a little better.

We are getting our routine down now so I should have her trained to sleep through the night in a few more weeks. But hopefully you will continue to see updated Blogs from me if you actually read them. I may have to get a counter put up here so that I can see how many people actually read what I put up here.

Back to Work.

It is always hard to go back to work after a long weekend. At least I didn't forget how to do my job. I am surprised we didn't have more password reset requests because generally, people forget their passwords a lot over a holiday break.

This past weekend was very busy. We had dinner with Matt and Angie on Fri night. They are in California now to have Victoria's kidneys removed to prepare for her transplant.
Sat. Faith's family came in for a visit. We went to the Newport Aquarium and had dinner at Smokey Bones BBQ and Grill. We also watched the Notre Dame Football Game. The Irish started off a little shaky, but eventually won the game.
Sunday was church and a cookout at my parents' house. My Aunt and Grandma came in from Indianapolis to visit at the cookout as well. We had a packed house and the weather stayed dry although it got pretty cool in the evening.
Monday was my day of freedom so I began by sleeping in till about 10 AM. I then cut the grass and went to the driving range with my Dad and Brother Mark. Mark and I then went to Best Buy where I purchased the computer microphone and we had dinner at Pizza Hut. We then met my other brother Matt at the movie theater to see Talledega Nights - The Ballad of Ricky Bobby. Very very funny if you have ever followed Nascar. You may not catch all of the jokes if you have not been into Nascar all that much.
I have a few more hours of freedom tonight before my wife and kids return home. I have a few projects I want to take care of and play some more with the computer. I also need to turn on my fantasy football draft so that we can get our players.

So that has been my weekend in a nutshell. I need to have a break from my busy weekends. Is there a such thing as a weekend from your weekend? Someone needs to set that up. God was serious when he setup the Sabbath day for us to rest. Now I just need to learn to take advantage of it.

Jogger spent four days stuck in swamp muck

This Sounds like just another trip to Ichthus.....

ORLANDO, Florida (AP) -- A missing runner was rescued from a Florida swamp after spending four days stuck in the muck with only the waist-deep water to drink.

Eddie Meadows, 62, had left for a run over his lunch hour Thursday but never returned to his office at a nearby University of Central Florida research park, authorities said.

He was spotted among the brush and trees Monday morning as friends and colleagues searched for him......

New toy for Podcasting.


I spent a little money this weekend to improve my recording quality for the Podcast. This is the microphone that I picked up at Best Buy this weekend. It picks up sound really easily and gives a much better quality output than my mp3 player. I should be able to produce a podcast with multiple people now and it shouldn't be too complicated. It is always fun to buy new toys.

Minivan driver shot, killed in Avondale.

Just another reason why its scary to buy a minivan.
