i gotta get outta here. they've taken over everything. they've taken over my pandora station and playing it really loudly over the tv. i can't listen to anything i wanna hear.

they're begging me for food and i can't think.

my wife is back there in the bed room somewhere.

i think it's time i go somewhere for a change.

time to wash up and go out somewhere for about an hour or something.

wow. now my niece is spending the night tonight. she's my nephew's brother.

my sister-in-law is giving away all her kids to us, i think.

so, now I've got six people sleeping here tonight in a three bedroom house.

it's so loud right now. three kids with toy guns, running through the house blowing each other away.

shirking, yelling, laughing, running, stomping . . .

so much for listening to my mp3 player.

my wife brought home our extra visitor after staying at her mom's house all day. she brought home a slice of cake as a peace offering.

somehow, i suspect i got the short end of the stick, here.

ah, well, as my boss sometimes says-- i could be a pregnant woman in pakistan, standing on a rooftop in the middle of a flood.

see-- having all this noise isn't so bad when you look at it that way.

well, the days off have been nice. but now that it's saturday, the time seems to be quickly slipping away. monday will be here before we know it.

my son punctured my nephew's air mattress on thanksgiving day. so, i owe him an air mattress. that's another one of those expenses i was not anticipating.

well, i bought a new one last night. my son slept in a sleeping bag on the floor. that was part of making him take responsibility for what he did. maybe it was an accident, but still, it was a costly one. he needs to learn that consequences follow our actions.

anyway . . . it seems come cartoonists have revitalized the old pink panther cartoons. they try to follow a lot of the same layout of the older shows, but their are new voices for many of the characters. any it seems that for the most part, the pink panther still doesn't speak.

somehow, to me it's not as funny as the older ones. my kids watched a lot of pink panther after we got our roku player. they're playing the hell out of these new ones.

they watch constantly, but they don't seem to laugh a lot.

i ate some dressing late last night before going to bed. i work up around 07:30 this morning with the beginnings of some super acid reflux. i've had this a few times. worse than heartburn. it seems that acid comes back up your esophagus. as it burns, you cough and try to clear your throat, but it only gets worse.

tums is worthless against this stuff. i had to gulp down a good bit of pepto bismol the slow that nasty stuff down. i felt better in about 15 minutes and went back to sleep after sitting up for a bit.

now i'm ravenously hungry, but worried i'll set off that acid reflux again.

things like this make me feel like an old man.

or, maybe my abusive diet is just catching up with my and my body is trying to tell me something.

time (again) to start tying to get back into better shape.

got home not long ago from my mom's house. my wife was waiting on me so I could see her hair.

her hair is gorgeous! the stylist did a wonderful job.

she's all smiles.

i'm glad to see a big smile on her face.

i had to take the money over to him. my wife wasn't able to take enough money with her when she went to see the stylist. i thanked him for doing her hair, especially on short notice after a holiday.

my wife says the stylist thought that was odd. i guess he wasn't expecting a woman's husband to thank the him for doing hair. there is a tendency to grumble about the expenses of seeing a beautician. a guy pays $10 to $20 for a haircut and shave. if you know somebody, then you can get one for free.

however, my wife's hardo was $185 in all.

then again, the stylist just didn't realize how much importance was hanging on this hairdo.

he did a really good job. my wife shouldn't have any trouble feeling beautiful tonight.

as a matter of fact, she just went to get her camera. i think she's about to update her profile picture on facebook.
