Geting busy

Well it's been along time since chemic was busy but we are geting that way. I actualy had to had a fourty hour week for the first time in months. I have always enjoyed being busy it makes the days go by much faster. I get a thrill out of being under pressure. I like to be up against dead lines it makes you feel so alive.

Sunday is Trunk or Treat at our church, Kate is going as a bumble bee and I'm going to dress up as a bee keeper. Marla is going to man the car and pass out candy and stuff. It should be an exciteing event for Kate.

Next weekend we are suposed to be camping if the weather holds out. There is a chance of rain on Friday and Saterday. It would stink to be confined to the tent esspecialy with a 14 month old. But we have a week till then maybe the forcast will change by then. Hope all of you have a great weekend. Thanks to those of you who prayed for Marla while she was sick it is nice to have her back to normal. Well as normal as she has ever been.

Birthday Day

So this was my birthday weekend and it was ok. I enjoyed spending time with my folks but I missed my wife since she was SICK with piggy flu all weekend. Saterday was the best day since we got yo spend so much time at my parents house. I really just missed Marla. We had plans for dinner with our friends that came in from Colorado for the weekend. We also missed another friends birthday party which was a big hit from what I hear. I also got to play golf on Saterday with my brother in law, while Kate got to spend lots of time with my mom and sisters. I also got new golf clubs for my birthday which is way I had to play golf. So I really just wish Marla could have spent more time with us.

Today sucked though. I had to go out to visit a client today during our walk down it poured down rain and I got soocked. It was the first time I had to work on my birthday in a long time. I hope Marla is better soon so she and Kate can be together again. I know Kate is missing Marla and Marla is missing her. Hope fully every thing will be back to normal soon. Thanks to every body who has wished me a happy birthday. Thanks mom and dad for this weekend I had fun with y'all and Kate had a great time with y'all.

Tough Weekend, Rough Monday

Marla and Kate where both not feeling well this weekend. Marla has a head cold and was coughing alot and Kate has a stumech bug. So I played nurse this weekend, actualy Kate was easy. Marla on the other had coughed at night which was really the only bad part. I did get to go to my parents and shot rats as my dad mowed the back pasture which brought back found memeries of growing up. Other than that it was a good weekend.

But today was hectic. I had a client meeting at 9:00 am this morning and it was good and was good news I picked up three new jobs and when I got back to work found out another one that had been on hold came to life. But this afternoon it all went down hill. One of my clients called to see if they could come by the office for a little meeting I didn't think anything of it since he was bring his new boss over to see the office and meet several other people. Well boy was I wrong the where really there to complain about one of our civil engineers and two of his jobs. Now being the client manager that means I take alot of the heat for the mess ups. Which is my job. But that didn't make it fun. Hopefully tomarrow will be better. Will plug away at it all over again.

Hi again

So I have not blogged in a very long time. I am going to try to be more diligent in blogging. I have not been up to much work is still slow but it is looking like things are going to be picking up over the next couple of weeks. Perfect just as the holydays come around. Those of you that read Marlas blog know I got a new puppy for my birthday. He is very sweet and apears that he will be very laid back and relaxed so hopefuly he and Kate will get along well. Marla is curently feeling bad and the kid is not feeling well either. That's really it for tonight and I will update tommarow.

Waitin at the vets...

I haven't posted in a while but now I'm sitting here waiting to see the vet. All I need is for the cat to get a shot. Really does that require a room. I would think they could just stick him real quick and be done with it but no. They could just the me tv stuff and I could do it. Can't be that hard right. Well work has been busy, which I really enjoy. Makes the day go by faster. Class is also going well I hole I am doing a good job and that they are geting the most out of the class. Hope fully I can head home soon we will see I'm at there mercy I suppose.
