We have a new game. And Eli is the first baby ever to invent it. If Daddy has him playing in his highchair and he tosses toys to the ground daddy will pick it up. Over and Over and Over. Great new game.

Oh side note, Someone please remind me next time that when your loves child is sick and in the hospital it is bad to say "He is in a better place" instead of "he is in the best place"
Was a bit of an oopps. Didnt want to mention it till he was better.

Well here is a suprise I have once again been misinterpreted. No say it isnt so. Sigh.

So let me repeat once again, with my thank you post I was not try to start a fight withthe mamamatrix or rehasha battle, I was in fact dare I say it, saying thank you. I guess it makes me apreshaite Lauren more and more daily. The mother to my child was one of those people who never heard the good things but always assumed there was a hidden insult in everything I said. And well alot of women are like that I guess. But no I actually ment Thank You.

Sigh, some people just can not accept a compliment. No I did not like the way they acted some of them but damn it all they helped me and Lauren get together and for that I will thank them forever. If they want the thanks or not. They are discussing me under the cover of email so I guess they want it hidden so I wont comment more.

Well last night was a normal work night. I never sleep real well up here but Eli was out like a light. Lauren is sick and I am still short on sleep so we both (I hope) went to bed before midnight for once. Today is gonna be a busy day. Hopefully is the weather does not go to crap Mother and I are going to go house shopping tomarrow. I have not been talking on here alot about the speed things are moving but suffice it to say if all goes well by X-mass Lauren and I and kiddoes should all be together. I am so looking forward and dreading being a house dad. It is going to be damn hard and a strain on me I am sure but I have alot of faith that I can do it and do it well. We shall see if I am full of crap. If I am then I will get a job and we will farm out the kids like the rest of the world does.. But hopefully I will be up to the task. I mean how hard can 5 boys be after one boy?
And yes I left that just to read the comments...

Ok so, sorry been busy today. Going back to work this weekend for the first time in a few weeks. So loads of stuff to get ready and organized. The house is TRASHED still and I think it is gonna stay that way till I get enough time to start packing things. It has hit critical mass I am afraid·Eli is mega needy but thatâs ok these weekends I play with him almost nonstop. Ok screw it, I will try and post later on today if I can find time.

Also add in an other firend who called out of the blue, Mary Alice of www.mareisse.com, Mom and Eli and at least 4 other people. Damn hard to take a 35 min nap, sigh.

Ok well this says it all but I thought I would post it here before I send it off to them. Credit where credit is due....
To TheMamaMatrix (once I find the email to the head fem)

Dear ladies, and I use the term with some caution.

I wanted to drop a note and say thank you. This might sound strange since I still consider a few of you to be close-minded morons but a thank you is in order. To summarize over 2 months ago or so I got attacked and had a lot of nasty things said about me by some of your members. I also had an incredible number of nice things said about me by a few and 2 things ended up being the result.
First off I received 100âs of emails in support of being a single and only father and over 300 letters from women wanting to get to know me better. Though I appreciated them all and a few I still correspond with daily the winner of the giant ãWannabewife hunt 2002ä was someone who I had already started corresponding with.
But you as a group were also responsible for introducing me to the person who is now such a major part of my life and hopefully someday might accept me as a husband. She was a member of your group and was so upset with the way I was treated she left the group. That and the bizarre fact we have identical cars was enough to escalate our few emails back and forth and now we are inseparable.
In just over a month we will both be moving from different parts of the county to set up a household together. Combining our children and becoming one happy (and large) family. I can not express how happy I am we are now together, I knew that I would fall in love again someday but that it was able to happen so quickly and with someone who after an average of 120 hours of time on the phone talking a month and a significant amount of in person time our largest argument has still been over if West Wing is the greatest show currently on TV. She is the perfect woman for me and we have the same views on childcare, politics, and almost everything and we have fallen in love.
The end of our ãfightä got relatively nasty and for that I do apologize but I still say that the whole issue was handled wrong and a good number of people made up their minds before they even got to know me. I am sorry that I allowed things to escalate as they did but I hope you will have the grace to admit that when you called it quits I tried very hard to have none of the things that could have happened happen. I still believe personally that you have a few women on the Matrix who are man haters and mingled in a few very lonely and sad people and I still think it is a shame you allowed the man haters to control the discussion but it is way water under the bridge.
I still read your site on a regular basis (My GOD if you want to ip ban someone learn how to do it right PLEASE) and I will be very amused to see if you choose to publish this. I have no agenda mind you, and feel free to not even post a link to my site if it would make you feel better but as usual I have nothing to hide, and I did want your group to know that something very good came out of all the hate.
So once again scary as it may be, Thank you ladies you changed my life for the better.

Ok well the stitches are out but still got a long ways to go down the healing street. Walked around the mall for a bit with Mom and got some exercise and new toy for Eli. They had a really cool new RC hovercraft at the discovery store, those kids of ours are gonna be so spoiled, assuming I eventually get bored with all the toys I am gonna by ãfor themä·
Zach is out of the hospital and doing better and I am wiped out form staying up all night with Lauren but she was dwelling on things so no biggy. The really bad part is she is probably not going to be able to come up and meet mom. Sigh. She was coming in a week but Zach is not gonna be able to fly by then I am afraid.

Soo we are going to have to once again revise our plans. No worries we can handle being apart a little bit longer. Sigh.

I think I might eat something and take a nap. What a plan.

Grug. Lauren for some strange reason is upset that Zach is in the hospital, I have no idea why. hehe yeah I am jokeing. The we got spares joke is getting thin
sigh we are both realy worried. Sigh
posted by Chuck Pierce 11:31 PM 21 comments

 
Well the surgery did not go well. Jacko failed me utterly and had no clue what he was doing. We wasted 3 hours on it and nothing is changed. The card is in but I do not think it is even working now. Sigh. Lauren is freaking out cause Zach is being admitted. All in all not a great day.
posted by Chuck Pierce 6:09 PM 13 comments

 
Off to preform surgery.. hope all goes well.

Of course it is gonna take a bit cause first we need some 2x4s and plywood and make a awning so I can carry the TiVo carefully to the car with out it getting wet. Sigh, so rough to be me at times.
posted by Chuck Pierce 1:37 PM 11 comments

 
Ok how do I phrase this, hmmm. Oh I know, I feel like shit.

These antibiotics are eating my insides out, I am STILL swollen and in pain and cant talk. My stitches are coming out tomarrow at what point I am gonna do a freak and foam on the dr cause the pain pills do less than advil.
What else. Hmm oh Eli was a pian in the ass most of the morning and I am getting frantic about most everything. Also I had a loaf of bread expload and make a hell of a mess out of my breadmaker that mostly needs to be soaked in water for a week now. Arrrg.

So fun day so far.

Well tomorrow is the big day. Yes more surgery

But the surgery is way more important. This is going to be surgery on my third most important thing. Yes the TiVO is going under the knife.
We are adding a Ethernet card and the ability to ftp off shows. Why you ask, well so it can update itâs self with out me stealing access to my neighbors phone and more importantly so I can record some of my favorite sows to dvd. I have a plan to put all the news radioâs on Dvd and then tie Lauren down and make her watch em from start to finish. Yes foul torture to some and yet bliss to others. And if the surgery fails and the patient dies the world will cease to be as we know it. My god I am so dependant on the thing now it is scary. I have not seen a commercial in months. I actually missed the whole election, never saw ad 1.
I actually watch very little tv, but damn it is so nice to sit down and have the shows I like waiting for me and no crap tossed in to wait through. Oh and since Eli loves to decide he is hungry/wet/pissed at random intervals I no longer miss things. I am so in love with my TiVO. I am afraid we might eventually have to get Lauren her own cause she aint touching mine. And hell she is the 2nd most important thing· hmm or is she·.

Well ok dishes done, kitchen cleaned and baby down.

Lauren is MIA but I am sure she just left her phone in her room or actually crashed for a few hours, poor dear she was up all night I think.

I had no clue I had forgotten to open the Eli pics gallery to the public again, thanks for commenting and telling me folks. Not.. no comments last few days, its been weird.

Well ok whatâs next. Oh yea drinking heavily. No I guess not I have inhaled 2 of my precious bottles of Wine Mom brought up in the last week so I guess I am on the wagon for a few more days.

My stitches get yanked on wed, I really canât wait, at least one is right across the top of my mouth mostly Arrg.

Ok well I am now gonna go roam around and pick on other people. Havenât done it for a while so why not.

Well Granny sucked today. Had a nice morning even though I hurt like a SOB but then she went to visit friends. Somehow she thought it would be a good idea to come visit with em with out calling. Bad idea. This place is trashed. And I mean trashed. True it is not always spotless to say the least but I have felt like crap and it was total trashed. It was like 90 in here and I was working on a project and Mom with guest comes up the stairs. Growl.
So I was seriously embarrassed at how this place looked. I mean this place is small it does not exactly hide clutter well and when you havenât done the dishes and have clothes all over the place not to mention are lounging around shirtless it was not pretty.

So granny is in the dog house. Quite amusing actually and very unlike her. If I had had 10 mins warning this place would have looked totally different. Oh well I will get revenge at some point. Now I just have to think whom I can get to drop by her place unannounced.

Well Lauren is hard at work on a new blog template for me. I am going to switch over to MT at some point soon. Only change will be the URL and I will just do a link. Will not be a major change but no reason to do all the publishing and so forth somewhere else when we can do it all here. Should also enable me to offer blog services to other folks like Mom and Lauren and so forth. Or anyone else I like.
I asked Lauren to design the site, cause as per usual I really do not care about the looks a lot and she can use with some distraction. Zach is still breathing, always a good sign

LIved through an other night. Noticed this morning that individual stiches are starting to hurt. I think that is a good sign. I et all the stiches out of wed I think all 20 or so of the damn things. I am SOO looking forward to that vist let me tell ya. Anyways, were up and heading off to work. If you are one of the proud people who served out country, Happy day to you.

My insides are not exactly happy today either. I do aprechiate the fact i almost never get colds and or sick. But let me tell ya, my body hates antibiotics with a passion. They make me sick as a poverbial dog.

Well damn I got MT working. I think it has a bit of a learnign curve though so dont expect me to be changeing over fast. But it is working and that is a start huh?
posted by Chuck Pierce 9:30 PM 0 comments

 
Well I think almost everything is back working.. Or I hope. Might have lost 4-5 comments but thatâs about all in theory.

Folks I REALLY want to know if you find it faster here. I would be surprised if you didnât.
I think the Gallery is back up and I am gonna try to add some new pics soon. I have taken a crap load as he has done his first real food feedings. Makes a mess but has a good time and seams to enjoy it so far.

Lauren spent an other long day in the hospital, Zach is not doing so well. Sigh. We like to joke about how it is ok we have spares but we are both really worried about the little guy.

I do feel a bit better if I keep my mouth shut and donât smile or talk. And of course I reved Lauren right up today and was laughing so hard I fell out of my chair. Hurt like hell but was great fun. I would put the transcript from AIM on here but then she WOULD kill me so·

So next on the list is getting MT to work. The problem seems to be in the path. Ok fine. So I think it needs a real path and I think I have it figured out now in theory. We shall see.

Goals for the day.

Get Eli to stay off my lap for more than 3 mins. I think the no smiling thing is freaking him out. Of course I am also torturing him by making him wear a mitten (Thanks again Meg) over his left hand.
He is turning left handed and I hate left handed people so I am making him only use his right hand by putting a mitten on his left and duck tapering it on.
Ahha how many people believed that. Boy you all think I am a crappy parent donât you. He has 2 sores on his left hand I think from sucking on it, and they are not healing so I have him wrapped up for a few days so it can heal. But no I did not duct tape it on, so he pulls it off every hour or so.

I am actually feeling better today, but that is so relative. Last night I was real real bad. Today it just really hurts mostly when I smile or talk. Such fun.

So I think I might go rent a movie for tonight. I havenât seen or rented a movie since Eli was born and I am penniless· But I think there are some bottles in the closet I can return and then go get Lord of the rings or something. Since I have seen NOTHING that has came out since early spring it might be fun.

I woke Lauren up twice last night, great fun. Hehe No I did not do it on purpose but Zach has been so sick she has not been sleeping well. Poor guy, I think he is doing better now at least. She had to take him into the emergency room the other night, not fun. And since she has no insurance till the new job starts she has dropped a few K on this one sickness. Oh yeah. But notice neither of us begs for cash online. Though we will take it if you offer mind you.

So today is absolutely great outside nice and warm and so forth so I am gonna see if I can fix the windshield washer sprayer on the car. It has died or something. But I need two people so hoping the neighbors kid gets home soon.

Still migrating stuff to the new site, a major pain in the ass.. But progress is being made at least. If your reading this then it is probably done finally.

Well if your seeing this you are the rare one. Most people are on the new site now.. in theory everyone should be in a day or so.

Well. Today really has not been a blast. I am very swollen and sore way underneath the skin and I do look like a chipmunk. But, it is a bit better I think. I am only oozeing blood now instead of bleeding like a stuck pig most of the time and that is good. Eating sucks, soup and soft crap and well it sucks. I actually got a few hours sleep this morning but mostly I doze. I like most people grind my teeth a bit as I sleep and that does not go over well right now.

I have the DNS switched over so at somepoint we will be on the new server.. you will tell cause a few posts will disappear till I redo them on it like this one. I almost got MT installed but got stuck as per usual, damn that thing is SUCH a pain to install at times. I have no clue what the prob is since I followed the directions exactly. Sigh. Ok well My rice for lunch/dinner is almost ready· grrr and so I am gonna go eat something before I starve.

Worse part is smiling and such hurts like hell and so does talking so I am mostly ignoring Eli and Lauren.. Oh yeah, just what I really wanted to do. But it is all Laurens fault for making me smile when I talk to her.. Right???

I think the basic problem here is Eli has no clue that it hurts Daddy to smile.. Arrggg.

Well ia m going to be moveing to MT once I make it work.. So far I havn't.

Sigh. Spent a good hour on it tonight and it is not happy. I am REALLY not sure why either, but once it propigates it will be easyer to figure out I think.. in theory at least.

I am very very swollen and I feel like crap. Gotton like no sleep today or last night but everything is tingleing so i guess it is getting better.. in theory at least. Mom abandonded me for the weekend so I can not even drink heavly. In theory at least....

Well still have not switched to the new line. Why you ask? because I can not get into the dns to change the name servers. The dam company is as usual being so useless it is scary. But I think I have hopefully made them see the light..

This is the email I just sent back to them....
Thank you for your reply, you did a wonderfull job of once again reminding me why I am removing all my domains from AIT's control.

I am the contact person, and the CEO and well it is my NAME.. And I am sending this email from it using my NAME. And I know the answer to the challenge question. But it will not even accept my login so it is hard to use it.

I have sent in a new ticket as per your suggestion and I have great faith in your ability to get even better at replying to emails in the most unhelpfull way possible.
Have a nice day.

Chuck Pierce
As in chuckpierce.com

The stupidity is just astonding. the problem is on their end, they say they are sending me the password, but it is not getting to me.. And other email is and of course they can not send it to an other address. Growl. Makes me see red and thats not hard cause I hurt like hell today.

Well last night sucked. I really am swollen now and hurting like an SOB. Ok that was all deal able with. But then my stomach tweaked and that was it for me for the night. No clue what set my stomach off but I was not a happy camper. Eli has been cute as can be tonight, he is sleeping through the night almost every night now. Had a major meltdown last night screaming bloody murder when Dad was trying to pass out for an hour but once I held him he stopped· like poof. It is so so cool that he does that now, nice that he recognizes me as Dad and Mom and well everything. Granny does try but when he is that mad it is a dad only thing. So today we are gonna give him his 2nd feeding of real food. Real food being rice cereal mixed with formula but he seemed to like it once he figured out he was supposed to swallow it yesterday. Had a real confused look for a bit when I first shoved it in his mouth. I am real glad I waited for Mom to be here to help, she enjoys the firstâs also.

I have had mr reliable doing the run since Wed. great to have him helping but damn he still is useless about a schedule. He will be late to his own funeral I will bet. How you go through life always being late and inconveniencing others boggles my mind. But he is doing me a favor so I am trying not to bitch to much.

Sorry bogging has been to a minimum but I have been more dead than alive in a few ways. Mom has been a great help but she is abandoning me tonight to go visit friends so we will be alone for the weekend, Should not be a biggy. The holes in my hand have mostly healed up so I guess I can start doing dishes and crap tomorrow and hopefully she will get them all done before she leaves.

Did I mention they stuck me 3 times to get the IV in? And as much as I would love to bitch I canât. 2 were my fault. I have great veins in my arm but no one ever gets into them so I always tell people to use my hand. Well no go twice but went right in elbow.. Grrr.

Lauren has a very sick Baby and I am trying to not bug her, but I am not good at it. Much more fun to bug her. It is great how we are both nervous and worried about the future together but we are both so much more looking forward to it every day

Well all in all it has been a crappy day. Eli has had a few major meltdowns for no reason. I hurt like hell and tomorrow will be worse as the swelling hits its highest. I have of course not been taking my medicine or using ice or anything cause I know better than the rest of the world. Or no wait I am stubborn yeah thatâs it.
So well I guess I am not dieing but I sure feel like it. And man oh man can I no longer talk· Years of compensating for teeth now has to be undone or something and I have a lissspp a mile long. Even I have no clue WTF I am saying

Well Eli has had his first real food. He had no CLUE what he was supposed to do but he figured it out and we got a bit in him.. Was great fun then followed by a bath basically.

But he ate.. we got him a nice highchair and he likes it so far. I feel like crap and have still not been able to get a nap.. But I am gonna go do it now I think. Sigh. Long day. And Lauren has a very sick child too.
posted by Chuck Pierce 4:26 PM 1 comment

OK welli am feeling a bit better, but not a hell of a lot. Still bleeding like a pig alot but progress is being made. course when the partial moves it hurts and bleeds.. sigh. ok well nuff whining..oh wait can you ever whine to much?
Mom has stolen my child, I feel so bad I cant smile at him and talk to him cause it hurts and he does not know why so she took him visting. Poor little guy Dad is no fun right now. And I cant go back to sleep cause then I grind and bleed like a pig so trying to stay awake and it sucks. Oh wait no whining.. Sigh. I hate this shit.

Ok this seriously sucks dead donkey dicks.. I am in serious fucking pain and I hate you al and well the world. I just printed out a msg to mother telling her to remind my child I have guns·. Hin thint. This HURTS. Like frigging bad. Dental pain is always the worse shut up women, I have had a baby and it was no problem at all.

Anyways I canât open my mouth I am smelling up and the drugs have not kicked in yet and worse of all I can not talk to Lauren, Sob Sob. Damn 20 pts for thinking of her when I am in pain. They yanked a bunch of teeth and then put ina nice little ethin on top of the raw stuff. Hmm that seems dumb but I assume they know what they are doing. So now I am literally bleeding like a stuck pic, cant swallow and hurt real bad· It is ALL your fault so get over it.

I think the meds might have started I now only hurt unless I move instead of want to die hurt. Anyways, I am on bed rest for a few days. So call me on pain of death. I really donât care but granny is having trouble finding the rotary dial on the cell phone.

Oh and all new way to get back at a tailgater, toss seriously bloody gauss on his windshield.. How do ya like them apples·..

If I die before I wake then its about time they cought up with me. Someone take care of Eli and well I guess Lauren too·

Grug.

Groan..

Poof.

And my darling Lauren screwed up, she found that her dealership has a ham and will gladly put the holes in the roof for antennas for her· Great hon, but why is it ok for someone else to do it.. I think I am capable· is it just ME doing it or the fact we are going to buy a 45k car and drill holes in it·.

Oh so busted..

The Granny effect is kicking in. She has spent the last few hours of playing with him teaching hom to stick out his tounge.. Um yeah, Thanks Mom....

Well we made it through the night. With a little modification Mom made the useless pull out couch/loveseat thingy comfortable, and then crashed. I am not used to going to bed at 9 any more but thatâs ok. So I slept like crap, been awake for the last 2-3 hours dozing mostly. Eli slept through the night till 6 ish and then just ate 10 oz.
Missed talking to Lauren last night, She is going through withdrawal though and thatâs kinda fun. A few days away will make us stronger.. Yea thatâs it, keep thinking that.

So today we start the Dentist trips. I have 3 over the next 3 days and I do not think I am going to be having a good time. My teeth are in horrible shape. Mostly genetics I am afraid, so it is all Momâs fault. So in the next few days I get some extractions a pile of fillings and a bunch of other nameless things that probably involve them doing chants and lighting candles in circles around me. I am so thrilled let me tell ya. But the good news is my teeth have hurt for about 10 years. Sometimes a lot sometimes a little.. Supposedly when they get done nothing should hurt anymore.

We shall see.

Ok so mom is gonna be a few hours late.. She is still 2 hours away.. No worries.

And for the news you have ALLL been waiting for.. I am finally moving to a faster line for the Chuck page. Gonna be a week or so till I get it all done but eventually we should get faster.

It took the Cfo like months to give me the go ahead (J) hehe So progress.. Now I am gonna have some food and deal with my fussing child who is pissed when ever I put him down today·

Well the house all ready for Mom· NFL. Ok so it is trashed, but it could be worse. Eli had the wettest diaper coming back this morning, it was incredible. He had like 10 oz this morning and it just all came out at once I guess. So anyways he is a happy camper again and playing on the floor.
I made him a new play area under the kitchen table. Sounds nuts but it is the one place where he can play and not get stepped on. Or more exactly where I can put down a clean blanket for him and not have everyone walk all over it. He also can see me in the kitchen and at my desk and it is draft free so it works.
And he is happy as a clam to have a nice play area where he can see me.

So Mom should be here most anytime and we are gonna go shopping and then screw around here for a bit so she can play with Eli. He is getting to be a blast to play with so she will have fun. Course if he will take a nap she will have more fun·. Sleep you little bugger sleep. Damn kids need a sleep switch on the top of their heads·

Wow. My computer crashed last night at 3 am.

This is not a big deal to most of you morons in this PC world·. But my duel 1 gig G4 Mac has been running nonstop without a restart for 4 months now. Since before Eli was born actually so longer than that. Weird. Oh well, only takes a min to reboot but it is so rare it crashes it is worthy of note.

I whimped out and was fast asleep by 12:30. Oh well I am old and need to sleep a lot. Heheh. Ok well brain is vegetable matter today and not working to well·

It is 8:30 ish and I am exhausted. Eli was up all afternoon today napless and had a great time but kept me moving fast. And I went shopping and er, well mostly walking the mall for exercise. So now I am tired, but I do not dare to goto sleep. Lauren is getting pissed I keep blowing her off for sleep. So I guess I need to stay up and talk to her all night. Sigh.

AHHAHa yea bought that didnât you. HAHA no I am the one who gets pissed she is wonderful and understands that I am old and get tired. But boy it sounds like fun to have her get upset about something like that. I am still sorta waiting for the ax to fall, we are still happy as clams.
Out of all the dumb and annoying things I do one of em is gonna piss her off eventually. I really am a caring and sweet guy about 20% of the time. Problem is I am an obnoxious jerk the other 85% ( a bit of overlap).

But so far, we are both happy as clams. Nervous at how our lives are changing but we would be crazy if we werenât.. Two morons in love is a sad sad sight.

Well took the little guy out to the Mall and did some quick shopping. Got him a new toy, me a shirt and 2 books. That killed about 3 hours. And we had fun.

Glen broke his arm today, donât ask. He says he fell walking the dog. Major bummer I am sure and it hurts like hell. I remember doing it once. And of course he broke his right arm so big pain to drive and so forth.

Got Eli this really cool cube with handles on it.. he loves it, picks it up and shakes it and shoves in his mouth. Great fun let me tell ya. Ok well I guess back to cleaning.. ARRRGGG.

Mom is safe in a hotel in Mass so she is on track to be here tomorrow·

Well my giant cleaning yesterday went to hell in a hand basket. Steveo came over and we played computer games instead. opps. But to be fair it has been almost a year since I have pissed off a day playing and being useless. And I did take care of the beast all through it and he was a beast yesterday too.

Mom is enroute.
YEAH. She should have left this morning and be driving the highways and byways right now. She will crash (hmm poor word choice) for the night down in N.J. way (I already asked What Exit) and then visit a friend tomorrow in Mass and then get up here. She misses Maine but refuses to admit it. Heheh She is also gonna freeze like all you other pansyâs who are used to warm weather·. Sigh, Yea I do wish I was one so shut up. Got to about 12 last night. Yes we froze our collective little asses off up here. The heat in this place SUCKS. The thermostat isnât·. The whole point behind a thermostat is you set it and never have to look again, it keeps the temp even. Well this one has to be turned up and down.. and does not have temperatures, no it has 0-10 on it. Sigh.

Other brain news.
Oh I know what I wanted to rant about, had someone once again try and sack me on the page design here.

Hey it looks this way for a reason. Yea I like the hits and the comments. I really do and sometimes I even pay attention to them but really it is here for ME. I use it to do feeling dumps and so I can remember what I was thinking at different times. It does not have great graphics or any flashing crap cause it is not here to make money or do anything. I do not use my site to beg for things or to convince people I am a great designer, it is just here for me. And I have no need to see flash to like it. So there.. hehe

Last but not least I broke down and got a pack of smokes yesterday. I really am the world champion and quitting smoking. Unfortunately I am just a little bit better at starting. So give me all the crap you want, but before you get too nasty walk a mile in my shoes. And since then you will be a mile away and have my shoes you can give me all the crap you want safely.

Wow he slept mostly through the night again. But these early mornings are a killer. I get so wiped out by 10 I have been neglecting Lauren. Bad Chuck Bad.

Well today I am cleaning feverishly. It is not gonna help a lot I am afraid, but I am giving it the old school try.

Was thinking early this morning in one of those wake up to early and sit and ponder the way your life is going moments.. And well it is scary as hell how things are going but I do not think I could be more comfortable with it. I am gonna have issues when I give up part of my freedom, and give up part of Eli to an other person. This is a given., But the way things are going I think I am about the least upset it is gonna be. I am not saying this very well, there is a surprise, I just think, that if I am going to team up with someone, Lauren is the one to do it with.

Ok way to mushy, sorry.

And now to our regularly programmed absurdities.

Ok I am feeding my little munchkin with Formula. Since his mother never even saw him since day one she has not exactly been breast feeding. So when there is a major problem with a good chunk of all the formula on the market and a major recall people think of me.. And that is so cool· A few emailed a few called. The winner for first goes to Glen. Anyways folks I am now feeding the diminutive monster on Enfamil ProSobee.. And that was not recalled.

And for once I am feeling good about formula. Since the receptionist at the Dr. office gave me a case and the Wic help I actually have extra. Not to worry I WILL use it. Since he is gonna be sucking it down for a long time yet.

Anyways, if all goes occurring to the ever changing plan we should be in a new place as a family right around X-mass. 6 mo after Eli was born. I can handle that.. As Lauren says I did not sign up to be a single parent but I have proven I can do it and now I can have the fun and challenge of 5 of them at once. AHAHHA The guys up here have a pool going on how long till I run screaming or my brain melts.

Got to love it when your friends support ya..

On that note, you HAVE to love it when your family does. And mine does. I do not tell them enough how much I love them. Mom could think I am a bloody loony, and prob does·. But she supports my right to fuck up my own life. And is helpful and there to pick up pieces as needed. Laurenâs parents are useless in my opinion. Not that I am allowed to have one mind you. They do not help with the kids and then get pissed she is moving away with them. Her father is piss they are there cause it messes up his weekend or something and yet her mom goes into lecture mood every 10 mins over how she is abandoning them.

Unreal. So glad my family is not normal·

So, survey question.

Do I tell Lauren that we are going to have "3 dogs playing poker" over our fireplace now or after we move in together??

Oh and I still need to find a copy of it, but I have faith.

The greatest boon recieved from my TiVo is freedom from commercials. But I am up at work so I guess I am stuck watching the dumbass things. And well a few things come to life. If you are going to do a comercial about a Dad showing his child how to change the oil on the car, and you put a baby on a creaper under the car with the father.... Do you really think a "do not attempt" sign is absolutly vital? Not alot of fathers would take a newborn outside and shove em on creepers to look under the car. And more importantly, if someone is enough of a moron to do this.... Do we want them to succesfully reproduce?

Nother thought is that if the elects were not only a few days away I would have to have to seriously start talking about politics, but since it is almost election time I think I can wait a few more days till it is all over. Not that I do not like the way we pick our lizards, I mean really if you do not vote for the right lizard then the wrong one might win... But my god I am sick of the adâs and special interest groups saying bad things about voteing records that is SOOOO slanted for "their" person. Unreal. But anyways, make sure you go vote for your favorite lizard... If not the wrong one might win and well that would be bad right???

So today is a Friday so off to work I go· making some food to take with me as per usual. I do miss buying food for the weekend and all the other junk food and stuff but I do save money making it myself· Sigh. Also got my last 4 formula things for the month from Wic. So I actually have a lot of formula on the shelf right no. But since he is eating more daily I have a feeling it will go down soon.

Well it is finally setting in with L2 that there is 3 weeks till she visits up here and less than 2 months till she moves up here. But it is still oh so good that she will be ok.. hehe fun to listen to her panic though. AHHAH and I am not helping her, telling her Mom is gonna hate her and so forth so she is terrified to meet her. Ahha A Little fear of the mother in law is good right??

Damn but I am so happy that Aychel came through on the MP3âs I do love that comedy bit.

My brain is in a jumble today. Eli actually is much better than yesterday when he had a fever of 102 but he is not exactly pleasant either.. He got some sleep but not a lot last night, so of course neither did I.

Damn but sometimes people kick but. Someone who shall remain nameless got me BOTH Eliâs Coming and the Noahâs Ark routine I have been looking for for like 5 years. Cosby really was a riot when he was younger.. This is a comedy bit everyone should know by heart. If for no other reason cause I quote it almost daily. I might put em in a spot for you folks to DL. Cause well you should all have a copy.

Well it was a short night cause someone did not sleep a lot but we made it through it.

We had a blast trick or treating.. or well we only went a few places but they were all friends. Eli was cute as a button. And we had fun. Cept of course most of the places I went mostly just wanted to know about L2 and how it was going.
For all of you who havenât noticed my lack of bitching, She still does not like West Wing, and is refusing to let me drill holes in the roof of the new car we are going to get· But other than those oh so so so major things, hehe, We are doing awesome.

She is coming up in Nov for a week and will get to meet Mom and Glen and all my friends. And we are going to spend most of that time house hunting.
