What a day. Eli is still screaming at the top of his lungs. No reason. Checked him all over, checked his temp. Gave him a bath, tried to feed him, damn near everything. Nope still screaming. So I gave him some Infant Tylenol. And that might be doing the trick. No CLUE what is upsetting him, but 3 hrs of screaming is enough I think.

Feeling very isolated today. No one is home and or calling me back. Literally have calls to like 6 people who I wanted to chat with and No one is home. Sigh. Fuck this. I am gonna crank the MP3’s and clean some more. He is gonna scream if I hold him or not I might as well get the dishes done.

Ok I know that when he starts to eat real food it is gonna be a long and painful time till he can feed himself. Ok fine. I can handle that. But my god am I sick of formula. Sick of the smell, sick of wearing it, sick of formula burps.

Ok I know this is what he is living and growing on, but my god, add some decent smell to it. Every time I mix a batch I want to puke. No wonder he does once in a while..

He has been off his food. And no I am not really worried but I am a little bit concerned. He is way down on what he has been eating but he still is getting what they say he should so it might just still be shot aftermath.

Ok nuff baby talk. Damn I need a massage. My shoulder is killing me. I think I have been dragging it down carrying a heavy car seat, but damn it is bugging me. Someone come fix it, please?

Ill make dinner if you fix it.

You know Kat made a subtle point, ok well I am not sure she actually made it, but I thought of it.
I am overdue.
The Chaos Fairy has not touched me with her wand for 3 months or so. I have gotten brushed by her wings a few time but not a real whack on the head with the wand.

So now I am ready for it. Wonder what I will get suprised with this time. At least it can't be a 2nd kid, unless it really is a Jesus retake.

This all came to mind when Kat was saying she should be followed by camera’s. Now I know I am like the worlds greatest Drama Queen in training, but heheh. There is a reason for that.

I think it is just such a riot that so many people who comment on here and know almost everytihng there is to know about my life have never actually met me. Nor will most of them. That is part of the reason why I got such a kick out of meeting Dandy when I was crossing Canigada with Mom. Any ways. Instead of a blogcon, we need to have a ChuckCon.

Gonna be a long day I can tell. He had a good night and we had some great snuggle time this morning. I slept like shit, but then I always do at work. It is an absolutly wonderful day outside, And Pat is haveing a party. But, I am not smokeing, and I can't drink. So, um cept for meeting alot of young women what is the point. Wow I am mellowing when that isnt enough of a point.
Sigh. So I think I am gonna go home and clean up the mess I made last week and maybe finally clean out the car. HAHHA yea right. Been 2 years I have been saying that now.

Some people have no sence oh humor. It is nice to talk to her though once in a while. And it just occured to me how I can get my revenge. She has no clue how many pictures of her I have around the house, ... Heheh They are gonna be background shots for Eli pics for a while. Heheh On that note he jst dirtied a diaper and is hopefully about to crash. It is frigging hot up here though still Sigh.

Well I read Red Dragon today, cause I was packing it in a box and d htey made it into a movie literally as I had it in my hand, so I reread it. Kept me occupied. Now I am bored again. Hopefully there is something on TV tonight.

Well Meg is starting to really crack me up. One of these days we are going to have to meet and have dinner. She sent me a really funny email this afternoon when she knew I was up here and couldnt respond. Hehhe

Well I am bored. Eli is napping again but will be wakeing up in a few for some food.

Well I had part of a cig today. Wow. Is all I can say. It was VERY yucky. I mean it tasted like I was licking an ashtray. Yuck. The fact that a pill changes the taste for something I like and crave to something so gross is really cool. So I think it is good to get a hold of one now and then, reminds me why I am not smokeing.

Well was thinking about the Old GF I ran into last night. Trying to remember things we shared and so forth. It is funny the things I can remember after what 14 years? Wierd images like me playing an arcade game at the Clam Fest and her standing at my shoulder prouder than I was that I had the high score. I remember how she was real big on public displays of affection, someting I am usually reserved about. Anyways, good memories.

Did I mention that today is a really screwy day. Today is my Dad’s b-day. Dad would be 81 this year. And yes I called my Mommy and chated with her and all that. My sister is going to spend the weekend withher so hopefully she wont go jump off a cliff or something. Hmm wait, life nsurance.... heheh Yes I am jokeing of course. Mom is rock steady, she is sad but going on.

OK time to feed the beast.

OK , safe at work for the next 24 hrs. I ws kinda hopeing the old friend I ran into last night would have shown up already, But she hasnt.. Or hasn't sent me an email yet at least. She is in the book, but I think I should just chill and see if she calls, I am sure I was a hell of a shock to her.
Or Eli was. hehe

Ok and folks I have a deal for you. You know how when you comment it takes like forever to post sometimes?? well try this, type in, hit post, then hit cancel 5 secs later.. it closes the window but posts it. hhehe Makes it MUCH faster. Ok more later I am gonna cuddl ewith Eli for a bit.

Ok we are almost out the door. And we are going to be late, yet again. I hate being late. I really do. Ok so folks, no email for the next 24 hrs.. I can get it but not send it.. So don't expect replies fast.

Gonna be a very very busy day I am afraid.. Sigh.
House is still trashed, and Eli is still grumpy. Woke up this morning and was stretching and relized he stretches just like me. Thought it was cool till it occured to me, so does everyone else....

Damn it first time in ages I want to talk and chill down and NO one is on.. Wierd. No AIM, no comments, hell I am alone in the universe. Sigh. Might as well go watch TV.

Wow what an awesome night. The day mostly sucked and I wrote a huge post and then lost it before I sent it.. Grr.
Steveo came by and I made him take me out to dinner. Had a nice one and I ran into one of my favorite old GF’s. It really can be said almost anywhere I go I can run into one. Anyways, she was working there and I said like 3 times boy that looks like her but she looked like she was 16. Well long story is it was her and she looked fabulous. Was the only person there smiling and happy as they worked and she lit up the room.

Well anyways made my night.

Ok back onto today.. and the post that didn’t happen.
We dropped off the car and went shopping.. Grug. Eli threw a temper tantrum in J.C. Penny, and I was not pleased.. This morning I went through 4 out fits till I found one he could wear. They are getting way to small for him. And the bad part is that they are fine until the diaper swells a bit and then he gets VERY unhappy fast. So we went out to buy a short sleeved outfit or 2. We have like 15 real nice long sleeve ones but no short.. Anyways, found some and good prices. We walked the whole mall killing time and roamed in all kinds of stores. I also got them to give me an appraisal on the ring, so I can take that in to establish its price. $2795.00 damn straight I want it back.

So we also went and got loads of formula at the cheep Wally World. The one is Scarborough is almost $.50 cheaper a can than Falmouth.. Weird so I bought a doz cans.

Finally went and the car was just finishing. They found the problem they think. Their scale was off so instead of putting in say 5lbs of Freon, they were putting in 1. So that’s why it wasn’t working.. Seems to be fine now we will try it for a few days. Didn’t cost me anything so that was good.

Damn she was trying to give me her phone number at the restaurant too and I said no just find me on my web site. Dumb Dumb chuck. Then again she is prob in the book. Yerp she is. Cool beans.
But I have no time and she is prob working till late tonight. Hopefully she will email me. Would be awesome to get together with her and talk about old times.. And we broke up very amicably. So no major hatred or guilt I have to deal with.. hehe One of the few I broke up nicely with. I really was a rotten child. Ask Granny.

Ok well I am tired but now majorly amused. Ok well I need to clean this place back up and get some sleep. Lord knows I will be up during the night..

You shoulda called Meg, we had fun….hehehe

Well we stopped at home to get him fed and changed. Now we are takeing the car back in and going to the mall. He could not get into 3 more outfits today so we need a few ones. some short sleeve 3-6 mo ones, we only have one rest are long. Also going to get a copy of the recept I hope.

Always good for a few laughs when ou are groggy in the morning...

The Police Log

2:27 p.m. It didn't matter much to the passing thief in the 800 block of 11th Street what the prescription medication in the car was – it was worth taking, then taking. Someone, somewhere is either very stoned or has perfect blood pressure.

8:16 a.m. The officer doubtless used more diplomatic terms, but the message to the suddenly former upper H Street apartment tenant was clear and twofold: Get your shit and get out; come back and you go to jail.

Someone really does have fun with them.

Man it is gonna be an other very long day. He is screaming, wont eat, and does not want ot be held. Sigh. The little bugger is gonna eat damn it. either now or later. So i put him on his tummy and let him cry out. 9 mins later teh house is quiet an dhe is gurgleing happly. WTF is up with that. Nothing changed cept he screamed for 10 mins.. Wierd child of mine.
Did I mention when I was out shoping I bought 3 (THREE) bottles of wine.. Wow, and I can't even drink right now. But I will eventually agaiin and it was on sale.

On that note. still not smokeing. So we are doing good. Been just under a week and I have had a few bad moments but no breakdowns yet. So I guess that is good. The pills stink and they have been screwing up what little sleep i get, but darn they do work. I really do not crave cigs at all. So by now the phisical addiction is gone and now we should be able to get rid of the mental....
Well got 3 oz's into him. And it was a struggle. He is just ornery this morning.

My god I trashed this place last night. You have no clue. I can't even see the carpet for all the papers. 90% are old and useless and shoudl be tossed. Sigh. Guess i am gona be cleaning today.

Well he woke up SCREAMING. Ate exactly 2 oz and refused to eat more and went back to sleep. Um ook. Wierd. But thats ok gave me a chance to reply to all my comments. heheh Damn but I do like comments, and I do try to respond to them. I know alot of you never read them or add to them, and I aprechiate all you care about is teh gospel according to Chuck. But I get amused. Heck i get amused easly.

What a screwed up night. He slept from like 6 till midnight.. Longest ever, but I think it was the shot. Then he woke up starved and pissed, has 5 oz and went out again like a light.
I got waylayd by all teh comments and resonding to them and then chatting on AIM with Shell at the same time. Christ I am like popular or something. I am trying to set up a dinner meet with Meg, and it is gonna be amuseing. I think we are actually into the ok lets do it if we can find a day stage. Hopefully she is acceptable to been seen in public with. I do have standards to maintain you know. HAHAHHA
Oh and most important. I am out of shirts.. Clean ones so I need to start a wash. How the hell I ran out I have no clue, but I did. Helps that Eli has been drooling on the shoulders. Funny I remember Granny makeing me like 20 thigns to cover my shoulders. Sigh...

Well I have ripped the house apart tonight. And I mean ripped. The floor is covered with papers and I still did not find what I was looking for damn it. Found lots of other stuff mind you, but not the one thing I was trying to find. Sigh. So i guess this weekend I need to hit the Mall and see if I can get a copy of the sales slip.
Darnm it I am actually good at keeping important things. And I can tell you it is carefully put away. Sigh. Yea I know I have no clue where either.

Goshdarnit. Damn but you would think I would know better than to be boiling bottles shirt less. I mean really, the oprative word here is boiling. Amazing how little water has to splash on your chest to frigging hurt. Really amazing.. Try it and you will see. Figured I had done my share of dumbass things for the day, but no, I had that one in reserve. But really I am fine, my skin will grow back in soon.

Ok well My goal for the night is to dig in boxes and find the sales slip for the Diamond Engagment ring I bought D. Cause 5 mins after the paper work on Eli is signed I am fileing to sue her for the cost or the ring back.
Have I mentioned I really am pissed and I am no longer being nice? Good.

Anyone dare to say that a woman should keep the ring after the engament is off?
posted by Chuck Pierce 6:53 PM 11 comments

 
Well the car is not fixed. Then again they did not charge me any thing either. They put more freon into it want to check it in the morning..but I have a feeling the compressor is crap. Just my feeling. Eli is still hot and stareing at things.. but he stoped screaming and that is a start.

He is just drifting off and I have to decide if I wan thim to. Sigh.. I don't. I want him to sleep tonight but I just can't wake him. Sigh

Ok well I did something a tad out of character, and just emailed someone I have never met for dinner. Hey, WTF it has to be better than eating alone.

Ok we have the hearing thingy schedualed. Aug 5th. Week from tommarrow. Thats later than I wanted but I am giveing them this since My lawyer was busy one day and ther eis a holiday. Ok now I have ot go find out if my car is done. Poof.

Damn it, I really don't have the energy to cook. I am either gonna grab Mc'y D's or just not eat. i have to many dishes and stuff to do now and I am to tired. We are gonna go to bed early tonight. He has not slept all afternoon like yesterday so hopefully he will sleep. Please some one tell me the season premiers are not tonight. I know like 0 single females I can just call and say want dinner? Well the XGF but we are trying to not go there. And I could call Jacko or Jeffy and have them go somewhere with me, but I am sick of people looking at two guys with a baby eating..... Not that there is anything wrong with that. I can't afford to eat out anyways, but I did just get dinners for the next few months.. Sigh. Hmm got an idea.. Prob not gonna work but I might have a plan.

Oh and I went grocery shopping. My freezer is now full. I might grow wings but I will ahve food for the next few weeks. Yeah. damn my brain is mush today. There really are coherent thoughts hideing in here somewhere. But the flotsam is beating hell out of em.
posted by Chuck Pierce 3:38 PM 16 comments

 
Damn it ate a post.. Small one but. he has a fever of 100-101 ish and is basicaly pissed at Dad. Makes life fun. He also has decided to not eat. Sigh. Well they told me this could happen and to not worry. But, well I am worrying.
The car is in the shop and I just whipped up a long email to the female behind door #2. She seems really cool so far. In fact only thing that is even slight negative is she said she was scared of sailboats. Well, ok we can deal with that.

So that is still looking good. Got an other one back today, but it was all in caps. THE WHOLE EMAIL. Yea ok thats wierd....

Ok I really need to sleep. He is mumbling mostly now, but I had to put him back in the swing. It is amuseing to here him grumble, he is very much like Dad was.. Anyways, screw it. i need to crash. If he pitches a fit there is nothing I can do anyways. he is dry and full of food. So he is just gonna have to deal with it. Heheh Yea I sound tough don't I... Sigh.
posted by Chuck Pierce 2:39 AM 16 comments

 
I am not gonna get alot of sleep. He is quite unhappy and squals now and then. And then gets the hiccups. poor guy. There is just no comfortable position for him I am afraid. I moved him back to the crib and now he is in full scream, so I guess he might sleep in the swing tonight.
Man I am wiped out, but the nice thing is I am tired NOW but I have some reserves so i will be ok. Last time I was just completly out of it.
Well today we have to drop the car off at 11, yes to fix the frigging A/C yet again. Since I think the whole system except one piece is brand new it better not cost me anything.

You know Doc got Eli 3 things for his house warming. The most usefull so far is the smallest. He got him a little pair of booties that have a rattle in them. He wears almost every day all day. He loves em and I can here when he is getting active from the other room or the front seat.. Very cool. And they stop him from baning his heals together.

1 am, temp 98.9 sleeping like a rock after screaming and haveing 4 oz.

Damn but I always complain that most of you people read and never comment. Well Meg gets the New Reader commentitious award. hehhe no I think it is a riot but she did I think 4 in a row this morning. See I do read them all, and I even respond to them even the old ones.
Oh and also, I the thought of match.com i got an good email back. A very nice one. No picture so she could be anything, but she has absolutly zero glareing defects so far..WOOHOO. And she had the balls to ask on email # 3 I think what the story is with Dawn. So I have to try and make that into a paragraph or less, that will be fun.
Anyways, it is WAY to early to get excited bout anything, but I was getting very discoraged and to have a nice email back made my day.
Ok back to bed... Again.

Well He is sleeping, but he is not real happy. He whimpers now and then in his sleep. Gonna be a long night I have a feeling. He got all 4 shots in his upper legs, prob is he moves his legs alot and most of the time automatically. Anyways, I am dragging ass hard time so rather than be obnoxious I am just gonna go to bed for once.
posted by Chuck Pierce 7:40 PM 16 comments

 
Damn but he is still hungry at least. 4 oz at 2, and now 4 more at 5.

On an other note, since I am blogging like mad while dinner cooks. Damn I want a cig. I reall yhavent wanted one much since friday. The pills work like magic. But today i want one. Now.Gimmi Gimmi.
Sigh but I am being good. So far at least.

So we are no longer broke. Got some cash in. The big check is still missing but it should be here at some point. So tomarrow we get to go food shopping. Good cause I am breaking in to the back of the shelves now.
Tonights tossed together dinner. Chix Rice Roni, cook then toss in a can of Cream of Chix soup and some corn. Sounds a bit wierd but it is very edible. As Dad used to say it will put hair on your chest.
I am the king of one bowl meals. I hate washing dishes and I spend enough time doing bottles. So when I can I tend to toss everything in a bowl and just mix it up. Hey it all gets mixed inside. You just sometimes want to not look in the bowl...
I can cook real nice food too, but I am lazy. So for me I tend to do one bowl meals.

posted by Chuck Pierce 4:43 PM 16 comments

 
Ok well he got 4 really nasty shots. And he is not a very happy camper. Wow did he scream too, we are talking move the walls screams. But I gave him some tylonal before we left home so he is not as unhappy as he could be. He is droolong though, and he never does that.

Anyways, he is now 11.5 lbs. Woohoo. he is right on the track for everything and doing great they say. The only bother right now is getting him to stop favoring one side of his neck over the other. I am gonna have to watch him for a week or too and make him lean right not left. If we dont get it more centered his head is gona be lopsided.

And on an other note.. Man most babies are really ugly. Ok now maybe it is just me, and that I adore this little bugger. But man I saw a few other kids today and I don't know if I coulda taken them home from the hospital. Then again ugly parents...... And I am such a hunk that I made up for everthing else. heheh...

"Shots? We don't need no stinking shots"
Well he had a good night but today is the day when he gets his shots, so I think it is going to go downhill fast.
And yes he is getting all of them. I in fact agree that some of them are stupid, but he is still getting them all.

Damn relatives are coming out of the woodwork. And they keep telling me who they are.. I might actually reconise a few of them (Yea ok, no I wouldnt) Still amuseing how a new relation finds this place every few weeks.

Well I got a good email back from a female on Match.com. The email was a tad flaky but then how the hell do you start a conversation... I got no clue. I was going to not mention here to any prospective ladies, but, well. I just realised that all my emails come to me now. I don't have any more blind ones. Opps. So if she can figure it out she can get here.. Oh well not the end of the world. For some reason my shoulder is killing me today, and tomarrow is gonna suck so off to bed I go.

Well darn. Heard a story or the tail end of one on the news saying the car dealership that I owe cash too for my car was forgiving 3 mill in loans....Story But darn it I am not one of the lucky few cause I pay my bills every month. Or did, hmm we are getting close to bail out time, I am getting worried cash wise. When I look in the freezer for dinner find nothing and eat nothing rather than go shopping then it is getting tight. I guess that is why I am so pissed they are putting me through the wringer. I have encouraged and allowed them to write up the paper work so Dawn does not pay child support. Now lets be serious, if the tables were reversed and I wanted nothing to do with the child there is now way possible for me to get out of paying child support. Period. The State would not let me. And No, I do not make enough cash that I do not have to worry about it. I am very soon gonna have to swallow my pride and for the first time ask the State for some help. At least with his formula, cause it is very expensive. Now I have never took a penny from the State and if I stopped feeding myself I could prob not now but I am SO sick of the double standard. The damn State is so geared towards the single mother and helping her, that I am chopped liver. If I was a single mother I would be getting subsidy’s from the State for food, rent, heat, and most important Medicare for insurance. My insurance bill every month is just under my rent bill. And I think the biggest thing is the stigma attached. A single mother and people assume she is getting help. With a single father they assume I am rich or something.
So here is my plan. If things are not finalized by Friday I am tossing the agreement. And I am going to go into it like she would if it was the other way around. I have been so nice and tried so hard to make it easy for her and all I get is flak and red tape. So screw it.
I have to start thinking that I paid into the State funds all these years so it IS ok for me to use them. But I am just too proud. Sigh.
Dishrag soup tonight.

Eli is being weird. he can feel that I am pissed off. he has been very touchy feely all day and just ate 1 oz then fell fast asleep and refused to eat more. Christ it is like I am breast feeding him and he is going through withdrawal with me. He never only eats one oz.. Weird.
Anyways, I am gonna reclean the apartment cause it is amazing how much I can trash it in a single Sunday when I do nothing but make a mess.

Oh and I got an responce today for one of the people I emailed on Match.com.. She "decided not to pursue this online dating thing, it is just too dangerous. "
Wow Ill bet there is a story there. I have a hard time with evil people. More evil than me that is. I basically don't understand them and refuse to see them unless I must. So I am sure there are a lot of wierdo's going online to meet people, but I am also sure they are not all wierd.

I am feeling the nonsmokeing more today. Not that I need one.. i am well under control. But I feel a tad woozy and listless. Had an other email and I am not sure if that one is going anywhere. I don't think it is, but it still might. I need to go change my listing to a nonsmoker so people will stop rejecting me because of it. Not that I mind when they say "Nope, your not my type, Good day" but most of them lie and say they "Just" met someone. Bullshit. If you met someone and you are serious about him you would pull your profile offline. Not liek I am gonna call em on it, I really do not care but I was just miffed. Ok cleaning time, or nap.

God damn them all to hell. And that is the nicest thing I can say. Maine Medical screwed up every thing so far so why am I so surprised that they screwed this up too.
I went to go get the Birth Certificate today. After it finally came in. And guess what. I am not on it.

So, here is the deal as far as I can put it together after talking to the town clerk and the social worker from hell at Me Med. To have me be on the Birth Cert they have to establish that I am the father. And to do that they have to have BOTH parents stand there together and have it notarized. And since Dawn was not “up to” doing it at the hospital the useless social worker told me everything was all set so I would not make her do it then.

They lied in other words. Yet again. What a frigging surprise.

I am busting my balls taking care of our son that she has never seen, does not support, and wants nothing to do with… And they keep on making my life miserable too. The paper work should be signed by a judge by Friday. Or you are going to see some major fireworks going off.

In fact it is safe to say that if things are not done by Friday it is going to get very very very nasty. I have done my best to stay out of her way and make things easy for her. That can change real frigging quick.

Well the bottles are all washed for the day, and the formula mixed. The laundry is in and we are about to have a nice feed then hit the road. He is not a completly happy camper this morning, but he has a death grip on the Lion Betsy got him. He can in no way pull himself up to get at the moble, but he has learned to kick it, he can just touch an animal if he gets underneath and sticks his legs straight up. Hey it is keeping him amused this morning so woohoo. The small bear he was holding yesterday has to be washed cause he puked all over it last night. My bad, I missed a burp. He is expelling gas out the um back as much as the front so it is easy to miss a burp cause sometimes he does not need one. Well that was way to much info for this morning. Tomarrow is gonna be a hell day. 9 weeks, and he goes in for a well baby check up and all the shots.. Such fun.

"If you scream at me I am gonna scream back"

I wonder why he lies on his back and sticks his legs straight up in the air. Wish I knew what that was him telling me. I am trying to get him to go back down so we can both sleep till 7. Sigh, hasnt worked yet. Darn but it is nice and chilly outside tonight. All summer I have a had a problem getting this place to cool down so I am actually looking forward at least some too winter comeing. Then I know the heat in here will drive me absolutly nuts till I move or something. It is electric baseboard, stuff that went out of style in the last 50's. Sigh. We have talked about putting a monitor heater in here but they do not want to spend the cash. And well they could rent this place with elect heat for more if it was not me they were renting too, so....,
Sigh. my houseing situation sucks. I miss my house. Being a renter is such a waste of cash every month that you are just tossing away. Sigh. Oh well we are warm and dry it could be alot worse.

Anyways point is it is like 55 so the skilights areopen and fans blowing to cool this place down for once. If I can get it under 75 it might not hit 90 in here tommarrow.

I think i am gonna go read what was happening on month one. OH and big news for the day I cought him stareng at and sorta puzzling over a footl He might be fnding them too. Woohoo.

Well we are haveing a good day so far. He had a nice dirty diaper and then went down for a nap. I am being entertained on AIM by a fem friend. and just vegging. Was gonna wath the royals on E all day on and off but Eli has been pissed if I get out of his sight. So I havnt. Ok well time to get up and do something.
posted by Chuck Pierce 1:42 PM 16 comments

 
Well fatso is recovering from his slowdown of eating. He just sucked down 4 oz at 2, 4 at 5, and 4 more at 7:15. And yes he only wanted 4 each time. i would love to get 8 into him and let him sleep, but he does not work that way. I am surviveing. I have to say I really think the Zyban helps. Yea I want a cig. Yes I want one bad, and if you handed me one or I knew where one was hideing around here I would be sucking on it faster than you would believe. But that being said, I am ok. If I don't think about it, then I forget about it. Not like last time when all I did was think about it 24/7. So I am ok. And I will prob be better if I can avoid anyone with any smokes for a few more days. Sigh. Eli has is haveing a bout with gas.. No suprise he ate 12 oz in 5 hrs. And I might go back to sleep. Absolutly NO plans for today, so no clue what I am gonna do. Oh and BTW I did not take a sleepy pill last night.. I really wouldnt after drinking. We minght just hang out here today and putter.

Well the server is back up. It crashed about 10 for an hour or two. Sorry if you tried to get in. Eli slept great till now, just ate and now is not going back down. Sigh..
Ok well least he is just gurgling and looking around and not screaming. Cause I is going back to bed.
BTW part of the reason the damn server is still slow is because I type in a lot of useless drivel each day and you have to go through a whole weeks worth when you load the page.

Ok time to get the guy fed and down for the night. Or well till 2-3 oclock. Theory at least

Ok I am out of here. Time for bed

Well that was a blast. Got to see Evl and his lovly wife and thier two girls. Eli was loved and held and fed and was very good and cute. And I actualy made it with out getting pulled over. ill fix the damn car tomarrow if I remember. Anyways, were home, he is zonked... I am cracking a bottle. Should be a good bloging night..

Well I am going to OOB to vist friends.. Got to feed him and me than go. Shit. And I have a headlight out on the car. 10$ says I get pulled over and yelled at on the way back.

Man I need someone to come drink with me. I think I am gonna crack open a very very nice bottle of wine from my reserves and get good and tipsy. Then take a sleeping pill and stop breathing, oppps no must remember no pills tonight.. Hmm I think I will hide em. No here is an idea, ill put a sticky note on em. So WHY you ask should this mild mannered moron feel a need to drink so badly? Well no cigs.
Gone all day and yes I do think the Zyban helps. But I still feel a pressing need to drink hard.
I have a nice 1999 Gewurztraminer I have been saveing, that might be the one that gets opened tonight.
Anyways, I am doing ok but lots of nervous energy.
And damn it I already cleaned the house. I have been takeing pots and pans I never use out of cabnets and washing them on the theory they can use it. Eli is sleeping in his swing happly so I think I will wait till after his next feeding to drink anything. That way it will be worn off by the next one. I metabalize alchol fast, and even when I drink "heavly" means 2 glasses instead of one. Hmm first though we need to figure out food. I still think it is 50/50 the chowdah for lunch was bad. It was made thurs, sat in the car 2 hrs on friday, then 2 hrs again today. I think it might have been passed. Then again the sick felling could well be the fact I want a cig. But thats ok at least I have some bannas. Remind me to do that story an other day.

Well I am keeping myself amused at least. I just went and sent out a few emails on Match.com, mostly just the ones I sent out a while ago and got no replies from.
Might even send out one new one, but I just have no energy to read these lame descripiions people put on themselves. Not that mine is better mind you, it isnt. But damn it is hard to synopsis your life in one paragraph. And when you get to know them your impression might be completly differnt from thier self view. Anyways. Such fun...

Well things are finally cleaned. I think my lunch was to old though cause I feel sick. Opps. well poisining me is better than him I guess. Washed all his bottles and steralized em, 3 loads full Arrg. Mixed a new batch of premade and got it ready and now I m gonna wash everything from this weekend. Being a good little domestic daddy I am.

"O Tay Buckweat"
I am watching the little raskels. Don't ask. Not alot on tv up here early Sat morn. Eli woke up and woke me up at 5:30 And has been wide awake since. Sigh. ANd he ate like nothing this morning. Yet at 3 this morning he almost exploded when I tried to take away the bottle. He polished off 4 oz in record time. His eating habits are getting whacky.

Well and for the big news of the day.
I am out of cigs.

Yea well, I am so close to doing a fun responce to some of these. What kind of a nutcase sends off their dreams for analisis anyways. Christ visit your local headshrinker, no need to send away for one. Anyways, It is begining to be annoying to share a name with a baptist freek case. So I guess I will have to remove him from the planet. Or at least take 1st billing on google.

Well made it to work finally. Late by 10 mins, but thats ok. We are going to have to go out this afternoon anyways cause Kev needs some water. Eli is being fairly cute, he screamed in the car alot this morning but now is happy. Have no clue why he wokeup pissed in the car but I had to pull over and hold him for a few mins to calm him down.

So, an other day in the universe, and I am bored.. Sigh,

Well I just saw the Royal Tanabaums.

And I can honestly say I have no clue. It was interesting and amuseing mostly and there was a charachter called Eli. But other than that it was wierd.

Eli is wierding me out. he has slept since like 4. Woke up ate and went right back to sleep. And he is still off a bit on his feed. I think he is comeing down with something.

And I am pissed I bought a big bag of seedless grapes so I could have soem friut and the damn things have seeds.. Grrr. Big seeds I might add.

Amuseing note, when my friend came down today I gave her directions here and she asked me where she should park. I told her oh anywhere.. Remind me to post a pic of my parking lot. I have one Kmart would be proud to have. You could park like 5 school busses back there. But she is a product of NYC now. Damn but she did look happy and thats all you can ask. It is nuts how your preconcieved notions about people in high school are such complete crap. She was the Valadictorian went off to a Very prestigous school and is smart as a whip. And she found happyness teaching Yoga. Hey well, more power to her. Some of the smartest people I know do things that are wierd but make them happy. But if you told me in high school she would ever have had a tattoo larger than like a rose on her butt I would have laughed my head off. Anyways it was really cool to see her. And tomarrow she is staying with an other old friend who better call me or email me or I will be pissed at her. Hopefully XFR will come down and spend some time with them He has always had a hell of a crush on her. Especially since I set them up to goto the prom together.

Well if anything will ever spur her to comment something in there will.

Honey those are stuffed rabbits and they are going in circles, they are both coming towards you and leaving at the same time.

But dad that brown one is staring at me, can I please have my BB gun?

No son I am sorry but not till you are 10

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa…

I really need some food, I am now talking to stuffed rabbits..

Well that was great fun. I still can’t remember how long it has been but I think it is on the order of 10 years. Amazing the changes. She is defiantly a product of her culture, but I mean that in a good way. And she looked happy and healthy so I would say she is fitting right in. She brought a cd of her band, Triple Cream, and well it is not my music but they do not sound bad. And any band that stays together for 6 years is doing ok. All in all it was a great fun visit and Eli was good for most of it also. Now that she has left he is fast asleep of course. Sigh.

"Hands? we don't need no stinking hands"

I think he is finding his hands... he keeps on rubbing his eyes and ears and his whole face... And that is new. So thats cool. He also is down on his food a bit but not enough to really worry me. He is prob off 4 oz for a day and that is not much. He just does not seem to want it. And getting burps latly has been a major effort. No clue whats going on. But we have a well baby vist on tues so we can ask then.

Got a friend coming to vist today, havnt seen her in YEARS like 8-9 or so. So I am excited. I even cleaned up a bit. Not that the house is not always imaculate...

Roaming around a few blogs today and a few ladies were complaining they can't meet nice guys. I was good and made no comments. But I am getting more and more disalusioned witht the online dating concept. I think i will give it one more try and if I get the same response as last time.. 1 answer out of 5 emails then screw it. Life is too short. And hell I can pick up women anywhere, I was just trying to do some preselection.

Really am looking forward to seeing my friend today, I am starting to really enjoy showing Eli off. No CLUE what we are going to do for 3 hours or so, but I will improvise. I am so so good at that.

Ok well I know this will come as a complete surprise to a lot of you, but I really am weird.

Ok we will ignore the fact that I wear Rag Wool socks everyday. Summer and Winter. And we will ignore that I 99% of the time wear them with Birkenstock sandals. Ok that is a little weird but not really really weird.

So explain to me why I can shut down emotionally with ease, And bury stuff so deep you would need a oil derrick to get anything out, yet I can not listen to some songs with out getting depressed. “More than a feeling” for one and most anything by meatloaf.. The reason this comes up is cause he is coming to concert here and there is no way I am going. Absolutely no way, even though I love his music.

And last but not least explain why the hell I am sitting at the computer when it is a perfect Maine day outside.

Hmm ok fine. We are going for a walk. I think the Royal River park.. So all my personal stalkers get on down there or you will miss us.

Well I royally screwed up the feeding schedual last night. Some how we got ahead of our selves so he ended up wanting food at 1 am and then at 5. Yea, that sucked. We never got back to sleep after the 5 feeding. But he joined me in the big bed and smiled and cooed in my ear. Then kicked me repeatedly in the chest.. sigh. Well he was cute for 20 secs. Ok well off and running for the day. I think he is outgrown these diapers.. the hugggies that some one bought seem smaller then the pampers and I swear he is not happy with em. Oh well, 1/2 a bag left and then we will try some of the #2's Glen got for him 6 weeks ago.

But I have 9000 baby thigns like powders and lotions all dumped in the medicine cabnets I can't find anything. Anyways, if I am dead in the morning it was the heart attack....Oh and someone water my plants. AHAHHAH ok sorry that was a sick joke.

Well I just had to fill out a form for the damn court saying how much cash I make and what I owe and so forth. Yuck. Sad part is how much I am in debt now. Well, it is under 4k but still I was 1/2 that before he was born. But the car will be paid of in 6 more months and that should help. It is the insurance that is killing me right now. Sigh. Ok well this place is fairly clean finally. Eli is being obnoxious but he is SO good at it and gets it naturally from me.

I wonder if they are going to make her pay child support no matter what. Should be interesting to see. we are asking for her not too. But the court can do waht it wants on support, they reserve the childs right for the support. I know if it was the other way around it would be 100$ a week or so that I would have to pay. Nuts....

Made a dentist apointment today. This a big deal. been putting ti off about 8 years now. My teeth are my weak spot. it is all Granny's fault she gave me bad teeth genes.
So it should be fun, the girl setting up the apointment left extra time for the cleaning. HAHAHA ok well I am amused. But really it is time to get out of the funk I have been in and get them fixed. I have been hideing behind them for too long.
Still I am not excited about going.

Ya know it feels good sometimes to pass something on. And no i do not mean a common cold or a STD. When I was getting Eli many many many years ago (2 months) I put up a little wish list thingy. It was mostly for people I knew and so forth and so we did not dup stuff. Well some people I know remotly, though CL and they read my journal actually sent me something. And it is one of the most used items I got.. (The Diaper Champ) and it was a complete suprise. Heck I have close friends who blew the whole buy Chuck gift concept.. But anyways, I passed it on today. Some other CL people and blog writers are getting married and I bought em a gift. Since cash is like non existant I only spent 25 bucks. But hey I figure I should pass on the generosity. So I feel happy for once. And since they never read here anymore it should be a suprise when it shows up.

Well the little guy is WIDE awake and playing. He is watching his moble right now and hicuping. If the moble stops then all heck breaks loose. So I am on wind up duty. he is fairly happy though just watching and exploring.

Well Dawn is back to work. I had to stop at the hardware store and drove by where she works and her car is there. So I guess she was off for 8 weeks and now is doing better. Hopefully by the end of the week I might have a date for when we do the final judge approval stuff. But I think every one is on vacation one more week. Damn I wish we would get this paperwork crap over with. it is driveing me nuts.

Well other than I covered myself with expanding faom, a bit on a finger and the back of my wrist, nothing much is happening today. Gonna be a quiet one is the goal.

I really do not spend 12 hours a day on the computer, but I do have a few mins here and there. So once in a while I raom around and look at new places. And sometimes i find great sites that amuse the hell out of me, and even great blogs. The depressing thing is that every time the same people have been there before me. Like every time.
Now why this pisses me off is simple. You would think after it has happend 10 times I would just figure out we like to read the same things so I would follow all the links on thier site.. Yea well.. So i am irritated, with myself as per usual.

I do not dislike giveing him baths. In fact they are kinda fun.

I do not yet have a clue how the hell I am supposed to hold him and stop him from drowning and wash him and not fall over into the tub with him but I do not dislike trying a different way each time and failing.

I do not dislike screwing up the towel so he ends up dry and I end up soaked every time.

I do not dislike washing the tub down each time

But if I ever meet the asshole who stuck those big suction cups on the bottom of the baby tub I am gonna insert em rectally. jesus they are designed so if you get 2 off the 3 has to be on. Sigh.

I am running out of major things to complain about. My god, someone call the Times....

BTW folks, the pics page is gonna be redone in a decent way at some point. it is crap now but I was tired and lazy. Soon... it is on my list of To Do's.

Well XFR stopped by on his way up to his folks.. he is not crashing here after all. And I went out grocery shopping yet again. More Formula. and some food for me. Also rented a movie, swordfish. Prob sucks but I am bored. Eli was ultra cute in the supermarket, and I coulda got a date, but I am still not comfortable picking folks up in supermarkets anymore. Then again my online dateing thing is like a zeroo so maybe I should next time. Ok well the Barbq should be about ready now. Food then sleep. Tomarrow I start the 2 pills a day of Zyban.

Well we had a wonderfull day. And i got some kick ass picktures I think. I will play withthe pics soon. Eli liked it. The life jacket is a tad uncomfortable and bulky but he just chewed on it happly. twas amuseing. So he had a great time and I am hot and stinky and tired. Cought a crap load of junk fish but we had fun doing it.

And it was VERY flat this morning. We hit the water 8 ish and just got in 4 ish. Long day but he was happy. which was good cause John brought his damn dog. Nice dog but would bark every time eli made a noise. And howled when he cried. Lucky Eli was real happy and didnt cry much just sat and watched and slept when the engine was on.
Ok pictures later... Eli needs food first.

Off to fish. This shoud be fun. We are not going far and if he decides he is not happy we will head right in. But he might like it.

Well tonight was not a great night he has gas pretty bad and is not happy. But we know how to deal with it and he will relax soon.
the amuzing thing is a that a 4 oz bottle is just not doing it now. Glad i am premixing it cause he wants 5 ish now and is pissed if he only gets 4. good sign I guess.

Well plan change. We are going fishing tomarrow. Eli too.
So I have to go get him a life jacket. So since it has cooled off we are gonna do a walmart run. such fun. After he gets dressed fed and bathed. not in that order...

Poof.

Long day here at the salt mines. Well gonna be a fun weekend at least. To start off TFR is heading back up North. Has no clue where he is going to live or stay. Um ok. So he will prob crash here for a few days but I have a feeling it will be very short.
Other News. And old school friend Robin is also in the area and hopefully I am gonna see her on Thursday. Cool beans. Kinda excited about it she was a good friend long ago. 89.4 and 46% humidity in th eliveing room right now. Eggads. The net is down again so I will up this when it comes back up if ever.

This morning I read “How to raise a healthy child in spite of your Doctor.”
Very interesting. I think a lot of it was crap but it did have some good points. I for one do not understand why you can not buy antibiotics with out a prescription. Yes I know that repeated use will diminish their usefulness and that bacteria get hardened to them. But you wash your hands with antibacterial soap. Same rule applies.

Any was, I was desperate for something to read and I found it in the moving filecabnet and garbage dump I call a car.

So the plan for tonight is to see if we can do an other 5 hour interval. I kinda doubt it cause today he has slept all day. But it was so hot I just didn’t want to take him anywhere. So that’s the plan, we shall see if it works. As for me I am a bit tired. But damn that is nice. To be tired not dead on my feet.

I am running out of things to complain about him, cept his head is still out of round and getting worse I think.. Arrrg. I am really trying but it is like making water run uphill to get him to flop his head left not right.
Oh well I am sure I will find things to complain about.

Well home and the net just came back up. was down all day. It is 94 in the liveing room and 71 in the bedroom. so i am going back to the bedroom. poof.

Well we have had a wonderfull morning. Playing on the quilt and cooing a bit and lots of smiles. Yes Granny I got a few pics. So it is not getting hot up here and I am considering asking to get out of here a few mins early. He just is not happy in 95+ wx. But hell it is 10 now it might take me 2 hours to clean up. The amount of crap I carry for 24 hrs with him is amazing. I fill up a frigging station wagon for gods sake.

He went through 8 bottles, 10 diapers, 2 outfits, 30 odd wipes (it was REAL nasty) 3-4 blankets, 6 or so cloth dipaers, and thats not to mention the things to keep him entertained...

Ask and you shall recieve.. Now THAT was a dirty diaper. My god. Well least he is healthy right?

His tummy is bugging him a bit, but he will get over it.
posted by Chuck Pierce 8:20 AM 16 comments

 
What a great night. Hopefully I am not speaking to soon. Finally got the temp up here to bareable around midnight and we both got loads of sleep. He also did a 5 hour interval.. his first I think at night. and is past 4 now but I am gonna wake him cause he is much more managable when he is still grogy and not screaming.
He is a day late on a dirty diaper though, he is usually so regular its wierding me out but I am not worried.

My god did I mention it is HOT. Got Kevs A/C on full blast downstairs, and a fan sucking it up here, but it is still frigging HOT. Least 95 Id say. Eli is NOT pleased. Well niether am I actually. But he will adjust better than me. So we are just gonna stick it out and bake. Hey, I need the $ so we have no choice.

Well wierd day. Had a very strange thing happen this morning. Ok well to be serious a few mins, I am a lot more carefull now that I have Eli. And I am takeing better care of Me and doing loads of things diffferently. But this morning at 7:30 we stopped at Hanafords to get some muffens. So we went in and got then and some grapes and came out and I poped him back in the car and was about to return the cart when a lady walking by said let me. OK now it might have been just basic kindness excpt she made a reference to the child being snatched out of wallmarts lot.
I was a tad freeked out but it does bring to light the point for once in my life I have something that people will glady risk jail to steal. Wow. Thats just nuts.

When you post a comment I get an email with it.. and then often I go look and comment back.

\My god thou some of doc's comments are a riot when you do not know the context...
For example...

After 10 or so WHAT? You moron!!!
It would help if you would tell the collective US what the hell you are talking about. Or are you such a snob you could never admit that 10 minutes ago, you didn't know what the hell you were talking about either?
AND a self-absorbed, fat bitch.
So there's my purpose in life . . .

Heheh all fiit great in context, but they are funny when they all come at once.

Good theory, cept my sheets are in the dryer. Sigh....
posted by Chuck Pierce 6:17 PM 16 comments

 
Well it has bbeen a long day. He got a crick in his neck this morning in the car and has been whimpering or screaming all afternoon basically. No biggy. Once we figured out why he hurt I just tuned him out alot. Oh and walked him for hours.
So also doing my usual thursday that is really a friday routine. Cleaned and vacumed and did all the bottles for fri-sat. Washing my sheets and even my towels too cause I thought of em. The house will at least be clean.
damn but it is nice to have the energy to do things again.

Gonna stay up and watch CSi tonight. Cause i know I can goto sleep after it.. Woohoo. It really is comforting. So often if I stayed up past 10 i would be up till after midnight no mater what. so anyways. Praise Jesus and pass the pills. Yea I AM jokeing.

Oh and started on the Zyban today, so start counting the days.... Should not want to smoke anymore after 10 or so.
posted by Chuck Pierce 5:52 PM 4 comments

 
Well they work like a charm. I slept. Yeah Haw. Got about 7 hours I would say most I have gotten since Mom left. And I had dreams again, true weird ones but I have not had a dream for months never slept well enough. So I am a bit tired but that is SOOO different from exausted. Heck I am almost chipper.

Little guy had a good night to till 6 ish when he screamed for 20 mins then fell back asleap. It is so sad ye funny wen I am holding him and he kicks his ankles together and the squeels in rage. At some point i figure he will understand that if he hits himself it hurts. So he is on his stomach after a nice little cry and a few more mins Ill make him a bottle and we will start the day.
Its a thurs so lots to do and cleaning and getting ready for tomarrow.

Well. i am now a druggie. well ok not really. But damn this stuff is expensive. I blew 200$ I didn't really have on drugs. Anyways, i got a prescription for Zyban. The stop smokeing or your head will explode wonder drug.

And one for Sonata. Cool name. Anyways, it should make me fall asleap in 1.567 secs for 2-3 hours.. WOOHOO. this insomnia is absolutly killing me. The bummer is both say no drinking so i guess I am off the sauce for a while. hehe Like I was really on it.

So in theory in about 10 days the smokeing should stop, we shall see.
And tonight I should sleep.. we shall also see. I also schedualed an apointment for a full physical, cause well last one I had was in High School ill bet.

Other news, Eli started to Cooo today. im Walmart of all places. But hey it was cool none the less. he also was a darling at the DR. office and was all smiles for folks, then screamed after we left. And is still screaming now. Sigh. Not really unhappy just irritated and grumpy.

Why didnt he swerve to miss her."

Ok do i have to point out, ITS A FRIGGING TRAIN. Trains have a real hard time swerveing. and the conductor does not drive the train. And you lady are dumber than a pound of Hake. Actually her friend was agreeing with her so they both are.

Well. I have an apointment for tomarrow. damn I like it when you call a new Dr. or profesional and they say how about tomarrow, not how does next week look for you. It is definatly the way to get my patronage. So i chose a Dr. that is very close and has been around since christ was a cowboy.. he was certified like 20 years ago. A new kid is great for soem things, but I want an old family Dr. who has seen everything 200 times. So I am gonna try and get some zyban to make me quit smokeing. About frigging time. i got a script for it long ago but was broke... I am still broke but higher priority now. And i am gonna try and get some valium or something. hehe well not really but I need something to put me to sleep. I am getting so over tired that I can not drop off.

Eli is 7 weeks today, happy B-day sorta you little monster. And I am still stuck on the page stuff.. current is Mysql problems.. But we are makeing progress.

Ok so here is the plan. I am over doseing on Vanilla coke. eli is in his crib waveing at the sun? stars? hell I don't know. he is just waveing at things. I would go play with him but that would interfear with my o/ding and anyways i think he is as sick of me as i am of him right now. I figure the little bugger is getting about 10-12 hrs sleep a day, only about 8 under the ave for his age. So he is staying up till i crash, errr I mean I am up till he crashes or something like that. he is kicking and trying to catch the mobile thingys as they spin around. No he hasnt found his hands. or his feet. but I am trying. The more he is swaddled the longer it is going to be so I am only doing it when I am about to explode. So this is a great plan though.. get seriously hopped up on a sugar kick and then plan on sleeping.. Um yeah... What a plan. But damn this vanilla coke rules. Good stuff. I bought a 12 pack. I am useing punctuation. Wow, sugar causes punctuation. neat huh. I figure 2 more days of 3 hrs sleep per 24 and my head will implode. i will try really hard to get a picture.

I was supposed to stop at the Lawyers on the way home and sign stuff... yeah what part of zombie did you miss. So I guess tomarrow. Now I am cooking up a steak thingy for lunch/dinner. not really sure why now but I was hungry so screw it. I am so out of most food. I need to do a trip. No new emails from the people I sent em off too. I know I live in a nice little right NOW head, but damn I hate people who either don't check their email for a week or don't bother to respond. Damn them. Ok well he is in the swing, mostly pissed, no real reason either. Sigh. And yes I HAVE been holding and walking him, but I am sick of the little bugger...

Anyways, I would never get away with it for long. Anyways, only reply so far.. damn.

I heard your prophecy for the Dallas area concerning hail and praying etc. It has not hailed here this past couple of months. Would you please explain?

Thank you,

Doddi”

Ok now this is just SO RIPE to send back the following.

“Dear Doddi,
The reason you have not had hail even though you have been a very very bad person and not prayed nearly hard enough is I have been being nice. But I am sick of being nice to dumb people like you. So get on your knee’s and stay there till you bleed or the lord shows up and offers you a diet coke. If you do not do this Immediately I will wreak such vengeance that you will wish you had never been born. Remember I know where you live and what is under your mattress.”

But I don’t. I mean really, if you have to send my doppelganger an email asking why God has not drop hail on you then you really need a lot more help than I can provide.

So I am good, and send “I am sorry you have the wrong Chuck Pierce, I am the father of the antichrist.. “

Or an other great one…

“Hello, My name is …… and i am interested in learning about the Apostolic
Prophetic Evangelisim annnointing. I have had revelation just today after pursueing the Lord for seven years on the call that he has placed on my life, the Lord has revealed this call to be the direction that i am to walk in.

I have done study after study on the Apostles and the prohets and at one point had truly felt that my annointing was the Prophetic Evangelism annointing but confirmation throught the word and perserverance in prayer the Father has revealed that yes this is a true call there is a call to the Apostle prophetic evangelism!!!
And he has chosen this to be my service of love to others. I get so excited to see what her will do he has done so much in my life so far its unreal at times.

I am a mother of five wonderful children the youngest is 3 and the oldest is 13 yes i am busy with all that is before me but the love of Jesus for my children is my training ground i beleive for what he will do in the future in my life for the purpose of the Gosple.

I would love lots and lots of information on the Apostolic call if you would please.
You could mail me some information at:
T…..S…..
Hamilton Ontario
Canada
L8L 2R9
Ps I have such a testimony that i could send to you if you require. “

Yeah, um these do get harder to resist.. honestly they do.

“Dear t… Um get a spell checker you moron, God dislikes bad spellers. As to your testimony illiterate ramblings by ex hookers whacked out on Crack do not and I repeat do NOT constitute the word of god. Might I suggest you send out for a free packet of Prozac?
And remember if god had wanted people like you to talk to him he would have given you a Cell phone.”

But no I was good again. Sigh. Damn but it is tempting…..

Well damn but thart was fun.
Just woke up and still a bit tired, but like THAT is a suprise. Glens party was fun, met some really cool and as the night progressed really drunk people. Eli WAS the hit of the party. He had a blast and was rocked and held by one lady after an other all afternoon and most of the night. Bout my only complaint is not alot of single people other than me. Though I did meet a very nice girl with a 6 month old son. very cool we shared notes for a few hours.
I was going to stay the night but I was stone cold sober and even though they had the room I knew Eli would be up nice and early and wake up the whole house so I drove home at like 3.

Anyways, had a realy good time for someone who is not a big drinker it was a riot to watch bunch of people get sloshed. Sharon was a perfect host and except for the cardnial sin of not inviteing lots of single women for me pulled off a great party.

Rant #2 and this one is pissing me off.
Ok I am a single father and I do have lots to learn. But if I am told not to do something by the Dr. and the nurses then I really don’t give a rats ass if you did it and your child lived. The point in fact is a wonderful friend and mother who keeps telling me I should be giving Eli a bit of rice cereal so he will sleep better at night. Um NO. I do not care if you did it, the Dr. said no and I am going to follow it. Nother point of contention is the amount of formula. Ok the scoop only does 2 oz at a time. Yea I could probably guess and do one oz. But I was told not to.. So I don’t. Period. My son has a major handicap from birth in that he is not getting breast milk. And I know that breast milk is not the same every time but I was told to do it per the instructions and not to deviate. And since he is perfect on his curve I must be doing it right. Last but not least, sterilizing everything. This one a few of the nurses have split on and yea it is a major pain in the ass. I know that he not going to catch a cold just because the bottle was not sterilized, but it can not hurt him. And damn it read up, every thing I can do to help him to not get sick I should do. Not getting antibodies from the Mom is a big thing, and he will get sick much easier. So I spend an extra 30 mins when I do bottles, if it helps it is well worth it. So I guess what I am saying is he is my child, and I have to do what I think is best for him. Right or wrong, I must decide. So when I do even if you disagree STFU and be supportive or move to an other topic. Lord knows I am sure I am doing other things wrong. Ok I feel better now that I got that out of my system…

Two minor rants that have built up

First one, most blogs suck. Or well suck to me. I have no interest in hearing the latest news, I listen to it on the radio for 3 hours a day. What I seem to like reading are the day to day things and the fun and annoying things that happen to people. Yeah I know I am weird this has been established. I also am not a great fan of people who update once in a great while or weeks. I like to see something new every time I go there. Yeah I know I am weird, read above.
Not that it is bad to write any way you want to, but I use my blog as a journal about what I am feeling and doing day to day. Anyways, that is what I like. Mostly women blogs too. I kinda know the guys side of things…

Well ok I should stop whining but I am still dead on my feet and no end in sight. Had to toss my dinner cause when I reached for it in the fridge it moved.. Ok, I guess it was gone past. So now I actually have to make something.. Sigh. just washed all the bottles and steralized em.. literally 20 or so.. sigh. took me an hour. So now I don't even have the energy to get up.Sigh.

Well got the ac fixed nother 500$... got the booze Glen wanted me to pick up. Went grocery shoping, and bought a fire safe.. Jus a small one. i really miss my big ass one but I would have no room for it in here anyways. And nothing to keep in it. But this is for the Eli stuff cause it is hard to loose when you lock it up. So now I have to eat, bath the beast, feed the beast not in that order and then wash 5.1 million dirty bottles for tomarrow. Sigh. I am too old for this shit. But he has had a good day and cept for a bit of afternoon being miserable has been great. He will sleep tonight or I might open the booze I got for glen.

Droping off the car again today so they can fix the last part of the A/c. And yes it is a Ford, but it is hard to find station wagons as big as my old Taurus. It also passed 240,000 miles yeasterday. And has yet to break down on the road.. So I am keeping it with a smile. Still looks good too. And heck would take me like 12 hours to move all the radios into a new car. I have 6 meters, 2 meters and uhf in the thing. Thats Ham talk for those who don't know....

Then Landlordess called for a really dumb reason at 1:15 Then Mom calls at 1:30... After failing completly to read the blog that clearly says I am going to sleep. Sigh.
So I could turn off the damn phone but I hate doing that.. Sigh. ok so we are up. Eli is screaming full force for no reason, damn it. He was lieing with me abd being very cute and cuddly and now is in full scream with gas.. Sigh

You know once again I have relised I was neglected as a child. I can not seem to be able to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and not wear most of the jelly. Now I can rebuild a computer, or the brakes on my car. I can butcher a pig, chop up a tree and dig a ditch all with out covering myslef with grape jelly. My mother despises peanut butter, so I did not get the hundreds of times to practice as a child. I hold her responsable. My god you would not think spreading grape jelly would be a learned treat though would you... Sigh.

The last 1.5 years in retrospective…..

Been left by Gf of 12 years
Lost my Father
Fell in love again
Been engaged
Been dumped yet again
Moved 5 times (once for 2 days)
Had a son
Been a single parent

Yeah, and I am still sane, or at least partly. Now I have no problem with being responsible for my actions, but damn, only about 1/2 of those I had any control over. Still could be worse, least I am still sane.

I guess the ones that bother me the most was the dumping ones. First one, she regrets a lot. And I still have no clue why on number 2.

Anyways, been a fun time. Hope things are just normal plodding along for a while.

Well cept for a 3 hour insomnia bout he had we had a great night. Really it is unfir. i have enough trouble just talking my damn body into sleeping at times. Anyways, he was at least happy, not screaming is head off. So he finally droped off and I had wierd dreams all night. But thats ok I am up and gonna get a shower and ready to go then feed him so he can puke all over me and make me change and take an other shower. Wow i am optimistic today.
The worst part of not sleeping is I go online and read my fav blogs, and then the incosiderate buggers don't post agian before I wake up. Ok FINE so they need sleep to.. do it while I am awake. hehe

Well nurse came and the network didnt. I was offline for a few hours (Oh my GOD) but it came back up so all is well. Well the little guy is 10.2 lb now.. (WOOHOO) and doing good. Only bad thing is he has a lopsided head.. oppps. I was not watching how he was leaning enough. So now he can only look to the left for a few days till it squishes back into shape. The fact that I need to squish my childs head freeks me out, that all i have to do is make him lean left to do it does not help much. My god he is malable.
Other than that things are ok. She assured me over and over I am doing a good job, Um yeah I know. But reassurance is part of their job. i do wonder if they would say you suck if I was doing bad. So he is gaining weight fine and all is well. I am beat, still. so waiting till he wakes up and I am gonna stuff a few onces in him and get some sleep.
Oh and the amuseing thing, the Nurse left her scale here.. ooppps. But she has the next few days off so she wants to get it Friday morn.. No worries. I unfortuantly didnt notice it till she was almost home. My bad..
posted by Chuck Pierce 6:11 PM 2 comments

 
Well tge nurse is late but she called so thats ok. And she is free and that is ok too. Not that I mind paying through the nose to vist the Dr. if he needs it he will go. but the State provides a few nurse vists to new babies and I am not going to say no.. Since he was SO miserable last time they wanted to come again Great. So we will get his weight and stuff at least today and see if he is still on the curve. He has been a beast all afternoon, and I know why. he stil hasn't dirtied a diaper. Not a panic but he has been so regular that when he is 4 hrs late I worry.

Ok well long ass day and I am draging. I need to get to bed early tonight. Anyways, did a bit ov visiting with folks today, Saw Donna and a few others I had been meaning to see and had no time to. Then I came home and cleaned madly cause the nurse is coming again for a visit in 45 mins. Yeah. i like it when they check up on me. Eli had a nice scream fit but other than that has been great. Isnt eve really his fault I am so tired.. but just the sched has ended up with me haveing a hard time going back to sleep. Ok well I have a sandwich for lunch and I am not gonna make it to dinner.. i am starved. So food....
And the weather has been so nice today, 70's and not so blasted hot.

Well then

Interesting day. Got a certified letter this morning from Dawn. Good way to get the old anxiety level sky high at 8 am. Turned out to be Eli’s ss card, so that was good. And a note of all things. 1/2 saying why she had opened the envelope… and the other 1/2 basically that she is thinking of him and she does love him. Um ok. But it was a polite note. Why the HELL they can not just call me and I will pick things up I have NO CLUE… But anyways…
No I have not written anything back. But I probably will. Hell it is almost a line of communications, and I am not sure if I should let it get away. Course I have to knock the 14 pages of what I want to say down to 3 paragraphs. I am allowing myself one more than she sent, If I send 14 pages it would prob be bad.

Other news… I came back and we took a nap. I was dead on my feet so it was nice. It is about 93 in the apartment and I am doing a slow roast. I had Eli in the A/C bedroom but he was bitching cause he wanted his arms free so now we are out here. He is happy I am baking. Oh and getting senile. Damn it I thought of something this morning I really needed for him. And then thought cool I can get it at Bean’s and I have a gift cert for him from Jacko. Only prob is I can not remember what it was I needed so bad I was willing to brave the traffic and tourists from hell in Freeport. I mean no clue. Spent last 2 hours trying to remember…

Did I mention the A/C craped out in the car… again. So I just called and screamed and going back in on Wed to get it fixed again. Sigh.

Hmm we might go out to the mall. I could use some gentle exercise and I need a few dumb things. Like 9v Nimh batteries and a safe box. I miss my safe…. But I need a small firebox thingy. If I screw the pooch and loose my stuff, like my SS card that I have not seen in 15 years, Fine.. I am good at being a moron. But I really should get a place to put stuff for him that I will not loose. Oh and I want to see if they still have a place that makes T-shirts…
Yes I am a single Parent
But I am trying to change.

Ok minro rant, might be a repeat...

HEY If I want my son to wear all basball crap I will buy him a uniform. WHAT is up with baby clothes designers that they think every thing a boy wears must be about baseball or some such. Sharron got ELi a few pairs of socks when they were shoping, I think at least, they are new and I didn't buy emmm. Anyways, they have littl ebaseballs and "All star league" all over em. Now I am sure they were cheap and it was not Sharrons fault, but it is hard to find shirts once he gets a certian size or socks or frigging diapers that are not all covered with crap. it is nuts. He is 6 months old if you hand him a baseball he is going to try and eat it, Thank you for trying to brainwash him into likeing your sport when he is young, but get off my clothes. Christ I wold rather wear a Nike emblome... Ok anyways, they are nice socks, I am just sick of the baseball crap already. Ok bout time to go.. He is graoning once in a awhile, nothing wrong with im just expressing himself. God at times I swear it is Dad came back....

Eli is bableing last few days.. cooing and gurgling and just makeing noise..
I really need to cut my toe nails, lost the clippers for like 2 weeks and havent had the time or a free lap since I found them.
I am sunburned in the wierdest places.. my wrists, nose,knees...

Other highlights of the day..
Well I cought the most fish this time, only worth mentioning cause it is damn rare. Glen is a much better fisherman than me. I had a major panic as we were leaveing cause I lost my car keys. Something I do not do often, err like ever. Finally found em in a seat buried on the boat. Was good cause the only other set in existance D has. Hmm I might want to make a spare set for me. I guess the highlight was I had to take a piss. And I couldnt, not just that I have a bashfull bladder, but it was the boat movement, I just could not take a piss. And I really had to, I mean REALLY. So finally we went in to shore and I found a bush. Much better.
Ok well i took a quick shower, washed all the dirty bottles, Made a quart of formula for the next day, and filled up and ran the washing machine. So now what do I do. Sigh. Oh well, maybe I will make dinner.

Fun day. We caught lots of fish, no stripers and had a real good time. Was perfect weather and all went well. did about 50 miles in the boat and I think we are all burnt a bit. Was just a great day. And now I am tired.. Eli is still with Sharon so gonna clean and get stuff ready for tomarow then crash.

"Gone Fishing"

Hopefully we will have fun today, Eli will i am sure. He loves to go see Sharon. Going after Stripers again, we wont get any, but it will be fun I am sure.

Other news.. Hmm got yelled at for being mean in the comments on someones blog. i don't think I was that mean and that she is being a tad touchy, but, and it is a big but... It is her space and I should know better, so Sorry again. My bad.

Ok this really is getting spooky. He is a happy camper.4 oz feedings every 4 hrs and once in a while he demands a middle 2 oz. Ok fine. No screams, no complaints. He is grumpy and kicks the crap out of me when I change his diaper, but other than that he has been a doll. So, does this meen the formula is working right now or that he likes to stay wrapped. Anyways he is haveing a play time now, fascinated by the window but soon I will go play with him some more. Best part is I am getting enough sleep too, so I am no longer dead on my feet all the time. Damn this is great.

Ok HELP.

I have watched this happen and I just made it happen and tested my theory.
Ok take a baby, wraped up tight and fast asleep. Open the wraping he stretches and starts to scream in pain. Wrap him back up and he goes right back to sleep. Any idea's? Why does it hurt to stretch. Sigh..

Ok serious self pity trip coming, run now if you can.

Life is so much fun at times. Here I am at 33 being a single parent. Ok fine. This is what I wanted, or well 1/2 of it. It is sad that I had a child with the perfect girl, one who I have loved since I was 16. I still get butterflys when I think about her, yet I know we will never be a couple again. Even if she came back now and actually made an effort, I could never be with someone who treated me the way she has. But then again I am with her everyday. Eli is almost 6 weeks old and every time I look at him I think of her. He has her face and attitude. True he has my hands and mumbles like father but it is imposable to not see her in him. I could forgive her for the way she has acted mostly, and I am very glad she gave him to me with out a fight. Yet it also bothers me more than I can say that she only seems to care about how things look. Ok fine she wanted a symantic change to the agreement so she looked better, great. But who really cares. If she wanted to look better she could ask to see him, or ask for a picture. Maybe she reads this everyday and thinks it makes up for her being absent, it doesnt. I doubt I will ever know or understand why she hates me so much to treat me like she has, but that is ok. I am moveing on. True going backwards most of the time but I am moveing. I guess to be honest her parents actions or lack there of hurt me more, why are they punishing Eli over this. Ok so one reason could be cause she asked them to have no contact with him or me, why would they listen to her. Or are they mad at me and figure this is a good way to show it, I have never been anything but respectfull to them. I do not have the answers and I should probably forget the questions and move on with my life. But in my years I have learned this, you always pay. Or as Heinlien allways said "there aint no such thing as a free lunch" In the end they will have to deal with their own demons over the way they have treated us. This is a small town, they will run into us at some point.
So anyways, moveing on with my life. I guess this has alot of good points to it, as I have gotten older I have definatly looked at women differently and knowing I wanted to have children has influenced that view. So yea I think the long part is I am ready to start over with someone new. My love for D will never go away but she left me the greatest gift as a rememberance and now I guess I need to find someone I can be happy with. So ladies the line forms on the left. Can you beat a guy who actually has a user manual? I mean really, does it get any easyer.

Wow I need to get seriously drunk, but thats kinda hard to do when ya got a newborn so I guess I will just have to rant once in a while.

Well 4 days makes a pattern I guess. Sleep dureing the morning run and then stay up the rest of the day till about 6 or so. Screaming mostly it seems. Boy he wants an other feeding now but darn it I know he will just be upset all night if I give him one. Sigh.
Well I remembered all the baby stuff today, only forgot one thing, food for me. It is wierd I am great at NEVER forgetting things but I am tired and I guess that is doing me in. Anyways, up at work for the next 22 hours and the screams go on.
Screw it I am gonna give him some food, I hate watching him scream.

Well was not to bad a night. He woke up with cramps this morning and did the scream for 30 secs and then sleep for 15 mins, repeat... But he got some food in even though it hurt when he ate fast. he is a tad bloated but I think he just caught a stomach bug again. got a stuff nose too. But now that I got some food in him he is sitting under the moble gurgling to it and happy as a clam.. Wierd kid. Scream to happy can be as little as 2 secs. Anyways, long ass day coming up, and I am sure tonight will be fun when he has a stuffed up nose. Just how the hell can you get a bottle into a baby that can't breath through his nose???
Anyways I am sure it will be fun to try.
I caught up on some of my sleep too so I am not dead on my feet today.

" I need a new cave"

Man we have went from the hurting back to the "god damn this itches and I have nothing to scratch it with Arrrrrggggg" back.
Damn sunburn, oh well, I think it is safe to say it was my own stupid fault. Well we had the afternoon from hell, he basically was pissed for 6 hrs. Had a friend stop by and give me a crap load of useless advice on how to make him stop crying, And once again, they then could not stop him. heheh Baby-3 Sharon-1. I am very simple, if you can make him chill out I migh tlisten to you, if not get stuffed. Sharon is gonna watch him Sunday while we go fishing (spelled drinking).. Ahhhh useing a big kitchen spoon on my back, better. It was my own fault he was such a beast this afternoon, he was so smiley and happy I let my guard down and he turned into monster child. Sigh. Ok well he is only 5.5 weeks I guess I should be glad he is smileing and happy even if it is only once in a while. Ok well after last nights complete lack of sleep after midnight, we are going to try and go back to sleep tonight. So nighto... Busy day tomarrow too.
