Always on my Mind

I have a two year old son and Love him with all my heart. 24/7 I can't help but think of what I can do to give him the best life as possible. Give him the right tools to grow into a good man who will do some great things. I'm starting with his education. I want him start school with knowing as much as possible. Also making school fun and interesting, which I feel is very important with our children's drop out rate getting worse and worse. You can visit my other blog http://www.isitworththehype.blogspot.com/ for some facts on the drop out rate ( in the U.S.).

Inspiration for Life

"Every morning in Africa a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must move faster than the lion or it will not survive. Every morning a lion wakes up and it knows it must move faster than the slowest gazelle or it will starve. It doesn't matter if you are the lion or the gazelle, when the sun comes up, you better be moving." - Maurice Greene



One of my favorite quotes, ever.

Decisions

I read this quote and it was awesome. One of those things you kinda know but until you read it in a inspirational way it just hits you. The Quote is ''Don't wait until you can make the right decision, but make a decision and make it right''. Sometimes waiting can make the right decision wrong. I know I am guilty of that sometimes. After I read it, I realize we do that on a daily basis anyways but the bigger decisions we hesitate and can make the right decision for the time wrong by waiting. As a parent your faced with decisions daily. Can my child hurt his self doing this or will he be safe going there. Make a decision make it right!

Nervous Father

Well had some problems with my son's babysitter yesterday. She is a great person but we had different views on some things. So his mother and I have to get him somewhere else now. Not the best feeling in the world. We felt safe with him there but what he was going through was not good for him so now we have to find a safe place with a good environment for him. Now here are the pro and cons. A babysitter from home is good not a lot of traffic in and out. It can be more personal care because less kids. The bads are if babysitter gets sick we don't have a sitter. If someones in sitters family gets very sick no sitter for how ever long the sickness last. If sitter takes a vacation no sitter. At a day care more money will learn more have more kids to interact with (my son is only child so he loves being around other kids). So which one will he be safe and which one will he better take to. I am going to have to sleep on this one.

Patience

My son will teach you patience. Today he had one of those days where he did not want to listen. We are in the store and people will think the only words my son knows is NO, Don't Touch and Come Back Here! This is one of them days where you want to get away you get so frustrated and need a break to regroup. If you do get the chance to leave for a few. The angel you call you child makes it all better when he runs up to me and says daddy daddy! He is so excited to see me again and gives me a big huge when I come through the door. I know he is only 2 1/2 and is testing the waters and exploring but always shows me love and make me smile every day. I love you son and thanks for helping my patience level. You really push me to the gray hair point sometimes LOL!

Watch out!

To day is interesting for me. One of those days that starts out good then takes a little twist. Started with me visiting my fiances co-workers church. That was pretty good since my fiances co-worker was a very kind and genuine lady. Her husband was as well. You don't to often meet people like that now of days. Then we left and that is when we had the turn. Please watch out read the contract now your stuff when you buy a car from these car salesman. We had to help a friend try to get out of this situation where they were trying to change the contract to something she did not agree too. Of course they did not want to take it and was trying to get her to keep the car. Its not totally settled. This was definitely a lesson learned for her and me to know your rights about contracts and buying a car etc. ''Car sales men will tell you anything almost to get you in a car''. That was from the mouth of a car salesman who quit because they were teaching him how to lie! My thing is buy a car cash if you can.

Show Me The Money

Waiting on this job interview today. It will be great for me and my family. We can move to a better place not feel so strapped when we do the things we enjoy. I have that feeling of excitement and nervousness but I did hear they are hiring 5 out of about 25 which gives me a good chance. When they have 400 people that could have applied for the position. Hopefully my cool and down to earth personality and job experience gets me the job and the green!!!

Only every four years

I love me some Olympics. Watching all the records being broken and people just putting there all in whatever event they prepare for. My favorite is track and Field then comes gymnastics. Just want to say good job to all the athletes for showing great performances so far. My hats off to our USA Olympians for representing us so well. I am a sport person and instead of a couple different events going per season. We have sport after sport competing. I just love everything about the Olympics!!!

Another Great Day

It feels great outside. A great day to go swimming, bike riding or to the park! Maybe another day for me this is my late night at work. In at 11:30 out at 8:00. So by the time I finish what I have to do then go to work, it will be dark by the time I get off. Today I'm felling like going in with some jogging pants and a t-shirt. That's the day the will call you in for a meeting with the big bosses or something! With all that it's still a great day. Even if the day is not scheduled the way you want you can still find good in everyday. So I'm about to get my son ready for day care, throw on my jogging pants and get this day started.

Its Saturday

Well its the weekend and there is nothing going on for me or my family today. Its like the weekend is a unpaid work day sometimes. Today we did a little cleaning, washing some clothes and chase our son around. He never sits still and will run circles around you all day long. Well if your weekend starts out like mine with a little work mixed in, I guess its better than going to a place you don't want to go most of the time (work) and you can still relax in between. I am definitely watching my Olympics today. I love me some track and Field!!


Sincerely,
