Long Hours

So, it has been a long time since I posted... I was home last week, but I am back this week... This week has been and will continue to suck... I am scheduled to work 8am until 10pm tomorrow... How fun!!! I am not sure that we will be able to get lunch or dinner, but they may bring in something.... How nice of them!

Anyways, it was so nice to see some of my old friends last Friday (some of whom I hadn't seen in years). I am hoping that I will be able to see everyone next time.

Also, while I hate going to church... I really loved sitting next to my wife and eldest during the service. I so love being with them

Terrible Travel Day

Today has been such a terrible travel day... I went to bed at midnight PST. I couldn't sleep... I knew I had to get up at 4am PST to catch my 6am PST flight out of SBA. Well, I woke up at 2am PST and again at 3am PST. I stayed up and played a little FIFA 2009.

SBA - I got to the airport and there was a delay... I thought... Oh, crap. I am going to miss my connection in Salt Lake. Apparently the first officer was sick and they had to call in a new first officer. We left a half hour late.

SLC - So, I land into Salt Lake and run to catch my flight. I had about 10 minutes to board when I got to the gate. I was thinking... I can't wait to get home. I can't wait to take the girls trick-or-treating... I was thirsty, so I got a tea. I walked back to the gate to find out that my flight was canceled and I was on a flight to home via ATL. It really made me sad... God, I was suppossed to land at 4pm EST and now I won't be home until 9pm EST.

ATL - Airport is nuts... I am so freakin' tired... I have 96 new emails from today... God help me...
I should be home soon.

Hello, my friend... Hello

If only, like in the movie "Saving Silverman," Neil Diamond could sing to all of us...

I am sorry that I have not made a post in awhile. I know that you, my friends, are probably wondering how and what I am doing . Well, I have been so busy. I have been working 75+ hours a week and it is getting to be too much. Last week, I worked 86 hours (if only I got paid an hourly salary). On top of it, the poor economy has everyone at my company feeling a little uneasy. We will see what happens with this whole work thing...

On the home front, I have been trying to enjoy my time with my family. I am so proud of my eldest. She is so smart. She asked her teacher for extra math homework because she doesn't feel challenged by the work she receives. Outside of school, she achieved her camo belt in tae kwondo. My little one is learning so much in school too. She has such a little personality (that can definitely help you in school). She is also doing well in ballet. I really love my girls. Finally, my wife is such a rock for me. She has been my strength, my comfort and my hero. She has talked me down from the ledge may a time lately. I could never have made it through this year without her. Lately she has been talking about her desire to add another child to our household. I have been scouting around for 18-year old exchange students... LOL. She and I are going to talk about a baby again starting the first of the year. I really love having two kids and I love that the little one is really the little one. I can't imagine her being a middle child... Stay tuned.

On a non-serious note... The kids and I all have Nintendo DS's. We play them all of the time. I have been obsessed with FIFA 2009. It is a great game.

Also, there are some great shows out there: "True Blood", "Amazing Race". "Heroes", "Sarah Silverman", "South Park", "The Office", "Survivor" and, of course, "Ghost Whisperer." Doesn't my job know that it is important for me to watch these... LOL... (I am so behind on my shows).

Adios
