Well, long ass night.
To say that he is not feeling well would be an understatement. Of course I was so pleased when I woke up and thought hmm it is chilly.. Yea 66.6 inside… On Halloween no less.. And a nice balmy 17.9 outside.
Crap. I guess winter is here.

So he is going to goto work with dad this morning dressed up. Yes I got him a costume.. I am not going to say what it is but it has something to do with my home page. Pictures will show up once I get around to it.

Shell is heading to parts unknown (Gajun!!!!) Eli is sore, Lauren is not spelled with a D. And I want my mommy.

Gonna be a fun day.

And I hold you all responsible.

Well screwy morning and day yesterday. Eli has slept through the night again, and well most of yesterday. I mean he has just slept. Prob 20 hours yesterday. I am sure it is just a growing spurt. I slept like crap last night and woke up at 4 and kicked on the TiVo. It had recorded Sports night during the night so turned it on and went back to sleep.

Then I woke up with the song Eli’s Coming in my head, pretty sure I had never heard it before and was weirded out till I found it online and realized it was on Sports Night.

Hope he enjoyed his sleep it is Dr. Day. He goes for shots this afternoon. Pretty sure he will not enjoy it a whole lot either.

Other than that not a lot going on.

Oh I know, reader send in request.
I do not do this a lot and lord knows I do not beg for $ or anything on here but I want some silver spoons. Eli is going to start on solid food in about a week and I want him to have a few special spoons.. So email me for shipping instructions if you want to send one in from your state, country.

On that note and requests for info, I want to get something made with his birthday and weight and all that on it… A plate or something.. Anyone know a good place/company???

Oh and as a side note to the post under me, I am now sending an email to the companies who I had sent msgs to brokers who ignored me.. Hope a few get fired... Morons, I gave specifics and at the very least should have been told they wernt interested.

I am not exactly king at keeping my links current or even posting most of them on here. I do read Mesh and Moxie and like 20 others every day and yet never have added a link to them on my link page.

So I take it with a grain of salt when people link to me or don’t. some do, some don’t. no worries.

But I was recently bugged by a place that I get A LOT of referrals from, prob #2 for referrals in fact yet they have me under a dumb ass listing. I was not gonna mention any names cause well, I would hate to piss em off and have em yank my link. And then sometimes I am scared that I am even linked to by them, cause for us vanilla people they can be scary. But anyways Alex and Conny I’m talking to YOU.. heheh
Ok and my beet is this, and as you can tell it is just a MAJOR big deal. WTF an I under eQuaintances & eNeighbors. Ok now Alex is actually to blame for me starting a blog. So I do like to give him some credit and I do at times. But really, he has like 10 people under Diaries who update every few days or weeks. Say what you want about me I post every damn day or there is a reason why.

So I am complaining, but really really quietly. Honest.

Other news My Moron Bro came through in a big way. I am gonna have to stop referring to him as that. He responded to a bus request with alacrity, referred me to a broker who could help, and I think he did good. The guy he referred me to so far has a head on his shoulders and is not a moron sales geek, but a pro. So damn, much as I hate to say it the kid came though for me. I guess I should not act surprised, he has seriously gotten his life in order and has found his niche. But it was so much easier when I could assume he would blow me off for a week and then forget. So anyways, if you need a real-estate weenie within 50 miles I am recommending him commission free.

I should add he actually was not the first one I called cause he was so busy I did not want to take up his time. But everyone else I sent a request for information into ignored it for 5 days so far so I guess they did not want my $.
And hell he got back to me almost the next time he was in the office. And trust me the fact he is my brother had nothing to do with it, if he was gonna blow anyone off it would have been me… So, need a real estate geek in Maine let me know and ill put you in his capable hands.

Im really pissed, well ok mildy irritated.

Someone is useing my name. My online name, PeonBoss. is completly original. So when other people use it I get pissed. Did a google search when bored the other day and some wanker is useing it for a game name. I will find him and then have to kill him. So if you run accross this moron, tell him to get original and get a new name.

Well got the dentist apointments all lined up. Will actually have 3 in 3 days. one after the other.. oh joy. But when it is over in theory I should have a solid mouth again. Or I will make the Dentist life a living hell trust me.

OK well once again I send out a shout to all you Moms out there.. HELP..

Ok this is a trend I have noticed. He sleeps longer the colder he is. So for example if it is 70 in here and he is in a onesy and kicks off the blanket he will sleep for 8 hours. His hands and feet are like ice and he might just be going into hypothermia but he sleeps all night. Yet if he is in a fleece jumper and a blanket on him he wakes up at 3 am and so forth.

Every time he has been cold at night he has slept 7-8 hours.
He has only slept longer than 6 hours when he was cold.

Please someone tell me I am nuts. It can NOT be good for him to be that cold at night. I figure if his hands are like ice cubes he is too cold. But I can not fight with it making him sleep through the night.

Tomorrow is a Dr. visit and shot day so I will be asking there also. So be assured I will be checking your answers. So anyways, ideas people, is it random luck????

Well it was a night. We actually went to bed at a fairly reasonable hour but I feel like I did not sleep a wink. Such fun. Should make for a wonderfull morning.
Did not help the little guy is still needing a feeding around 3. I had a hard time staying awake to give it to him today.

So off we go. Such fun.

Well I am really the king of getting myself in trouble.
But it is a good trouble. I did a bad thing today to our relationship but at least I admitted it to her right away. And she is mildly pissed and for a good reason. So anyways, when we first started to talk she sent me a picture of herself. And she was drop dead gorgeous. Well after a bit she admitted that picture was 12 years old and sent me a real one. Now, this is old news. We long ago dealt with it and even though the ends do not justify the means she did the right thing. I would like to say I am not a completely shallow useless moron, but I found out I was more shallow than I thought. To be fair to her and honest, and I am both she prob would not have made it on the list if I had seen a recent picture. Now do not take this wrong, she is a beautiful woman no debate. But she is about 20-30 lbs heavier than I usually go for. So she sent an old pic and it worked cause by the time I saw a current one I was smitten.

Anyways, so we have way moved past it and I thought it was a dead issue.. but today when someone was here and asked to see a pic of her I bailed and grabbed the 12 year old one.

So I guess we need to work on this some more. And she is not pleased that I bailed on us like that and or acted like I was embarrassed by her. So I am in a touch of trouble but it is well deserved. She is not happy being a touch over weight and is working on it I just need to shut up and not act like a moron.

Supposed to be working on the apartment today. But they called last night and said after 9 this morning.. im still alone. Sigh. If they were waiting for me they would have went crazy by now. Pisses me off. But hell, they just do not realise when they are like this so no point in being pissed.

l2 is off doing things with the kids. So i am bored. Kitchen is clean, bathroom is mostly clean. Liveing room is clean and all dishes done and bread in the machine. Sigh. Im bored. I think Eli and I are going for a walk. To bad if we are not here when they show up...

So Sometimes my child reminds me of one of those chocolate rabbits you get at Easter. He is cute on the outside but completely hollow. After I fed him this morning I was bouncing him on me knee trying to get a burp and realized I could hear his tummy sloshing around. Very strange.

So he has had a nice bath, and scared Dad by turning a great shade of blue in the 2 mins tween being in the bath and being dried, diapered and in clean clothes. Unreal it is 72 in here but he went blue in 30 secs.. ARRRGG. He didn’t notice of course it was me having cardiac arrest.

So now he is on the floor on his back kicking the kicky thing Conny and Alex of Nosuch.org fame got for him. Happy as a proverbial clam. Except of curse when he kicks him self so far back he can’t reach the pedals anymore. And then Dad has to resq him when he SCREAMS in frustration.

Well he is definitely my son, not that I scream in frustration, really, ok well only once in a while.. 3 weeks or so till L2 comes up to visit…ARRRRGGG

Oh guilt time.. need some advice.

Should I get the little guy a costume and take him out on Halloween??

I mean he will be 4 months and a bit old, he is NOT gonna remember it. And frankly I would then have to eat all his candy. Hmm. ok so thats a plus...

But anyways, is it worth the bother or am i supposed to like completly get into this. Then again I could trick or treat at his grandparents. AHHAHA that would be so much fun.

we Well yet an other decent night. He woke me up early again at 3:30 and at 7 but that’s ok. He is all smiles and giggles this morning. A very happy baby.

So today I guess we are going to do some of the work that needs to be done on the apartment, the stuff that was supposed to be done in the summer. But hey, it will be nice to get it done. Might even give her royal highness Meg a call and see if she wants to take a walk with Eli and I.

L2 and I did not talk for to long last night only a few hours. I was tired and needed to crash so we kept it a short night. Rare for us.

Welll since it rained nonstop yesterday I am looking forward to it being nice and sunny today. And it is.

Well, I am really out of things worth typing in. My mind is still on hold.

Beep Hi you have reached my life, we are all out right now so please leave a msg after the beep. Beeep.

So i passed the inspection, hhehe I got the place cleaned up and looking ok. And they brought some great gifts so that was cool.

And yes I got a new play toy today. I sold my 1911 A1 Springfield that i loved dearly, and or traded it. Got myself a new 757 GX hF rig and a 22 bolt action rifle. I know glen is lusting after one so I figure I can let him borrow it if he is a good boy. And when Lauren wants to learn how to shoot which she will eventually it is the perfect gun to teach people on. And I didnt have one anymore.. so...
I want to end up with a hunting rifle shotgun 22 rifle 22 pistol and 45 long colt revolver. Figure that covers all bases from plinking to hunting and so forth. I really dont need to have any more than that and no need for the SKS or other playtoys. So now I just have to sell a few more and accuire a few and we will be jamming.

And I am excited to have a new HF rig. I have a real nice old one but it drifts of freq so easy and is a bit of a pain to use. But it does work so I was not looking for a new one but I had one of the 757's before and liked it so it should work well.

Well fun talk last night with the fem. We are changeing paths slightly but for the good. About ready to get out of work up here and go visit a friend. I am thinking of selling my .45 to him or trading it for a new HF radio. I do not need it and L2 is scared of guns.. not that I am gonna get rid of em all but I do have way to many. SO thats the plan. Eli slept like a rock only getting up once at 3:30 for a bottle.
Ok well off and running. err actually off and feeding the beast.

So I am bored at work, what a suprise.

ok well fun day so far. Eli has defintaly found his thumb but only when he is on his tummy or in the car seat. Not able to find it when he is in other places.. wierd. Oh and he is finding his left thumb, please god don't let him be left handed.

So we are still trying to figure out the actual move stuff. Her folks are pissed the kids might not be there for xmass, but if she waits for it then she will have like 1 week to get settled. Nuts. None of my busness at all but her parents really try to be a pain in my opionion

Well we both looked at cars today and I think we have decided we like the ford Excursion best. The minivans just have no cargo space with the 3rd seat in and with 5 kids we need the seat. When you can't get 2 strolers in the back you know your in trouble. So anyways, as fun as it was to go and look at them I think we are going to wait till after she holds down the job a few months. The do NOT give them away and we can prob handle being a 2 cars to everything family for a month or two. So tonight we should hammer out details on days and so forth and i got a good map today so now we know roughly were we are looking for a house. Gonna be a fun trip to go and search for one let me tell ya.

Eli is still in beast mode, Glen stopped over and said hi with the puppy. Cute little bugger but then again so is Eli most of the time. He has so far eaten every 3 hours today starting at midnight. Grrr. He is so ready for some solid food.
posted by Chuck Pierce 8:10 PM 3 comments

 
Or well we would be going out but first I have to boil up some water and do some dishes.. Sigh. I hate haveing to boil all the water for him but I do as told by the dr. I am just such a good dad.

So off to do the mundain stuff off dishes and baby food. Sigh.

Well things get more and more amusing.

I was thinking of selling one of my businesses to a friend so that when I went to mass he could have it as income. But he has decided that I want to much or it does not make enough or something. In theory he is not trying to do a head game cause I can hire a guy for 10 $ an hour and make $ while I am in Mass doing nothing but the billing. Anyways, bad choice on his part in my opinion, but hey, he has the right to make mistakes.
So I am gonna mention it to a few other people and see what they think and if they are willing to give me a little in return for the good will and customers.

Other than that not much going on. Eli has been a beast and I finally put down for a nap, and then took one myself. So I think we might get up and get our asses in gear. L2 and I have been talking vehicles and trying to figure out if we want a Suburban or a mini van. I think the mini van is gonna be to small and neither of us want a full sized van. Remember 5 kids 3 in car seats… and none allowed to sit in the front seat due to air bags. So we need a good sized vehicle. New or used and if she buys it down there and drives it up rather than buying up here and driving the Taurus up are all things were wrestling over. And I make it sound like we are really debating it, hehe we arnt, we agree on damn near everything so we just do not have enough info to decided rather than she wants one I want the other.

So I might go car shopping and take a look at some. Woohoo. I love making sales men cry….

What a weird night.

I have to put it mildly the imagination of a small dead animal. I just do not go for flights of fancy much. This is I know a failing, but I figure the 5 boys will supply me with a premade one.. Right?
Anyways, last night I dreamt of a book. It is no secret that when I want to relax and put my mind on hold I tend to read juvenile sci fic. Or even fantasy. Anyways I had an idea for a story, and well it is a doable story and it is different. Very strange, I can only wonder how long it has been percolating inside. Anyways, perfect author to actually flesh it out would be Joel Robinson, but I am of the mind set that if I just go on with my day it will all be gone by noon.

Why would I want to forget you ask? Well, I am many things but I am not a writer. I can write, and I can be funny but I can also drone on for hours. I know my limitations. AHHAHAh ok sorry that was funny but least I had it and 5 boys in different paragraphs.

Anyways, I should prob write it all down or something so when some one does write the book eventually I can sue em.. Plan huh.

Eli was a monster last night. He has been up every 3 hours to eat. Ok this is annoying now. But he is emptying the bottle so I think it is safe to say he wants more than I am giving him. So I guess I will try that today and feed till you explode bud.

Other news…

Yea ok that was other news..

Damn my legs hurt from squating down working on that floor. Oh well. came home at 6 and crashed with a capital c. 3 hrs of sleep and I am alive again. Eli is still out like a light. The WIC crap was tireing. I never did get the stuff ready for the Sheriff. Sigh. One thing at a time I guess, was just to much today. I should call L2 who I have hardly talked too today, but I think I might go back to bed and watch West Wing. heeh
posted by Chuck Pierce 9:42 PM 2 comments

 
So I got WIC help for the little guy. it was very wierd and strange. I have never asked the State or anyone for anything and they make you go through hoops let me tell you. But anyways it should cover his food for a month or close to it and thats a hunk of change... Anyone else want too sponsor Diapers? hehehehhe
posted by Chuck Pierce 5:33 PM 8 comments

 
Well today has been nuts.. WIC called and said they had an opening if I could hurry in so I did and got that done.. And now in a few mins I have to go finish the tile. After I feed the monster....

what a nightmare,

Just woke up from a dream about L2 and i had got a puppy for the kids. It was an all white samoset?? anyways fluffy and cute.

And i am walking it while on the phone to l2 and it got swept up in a stream of water and went into a culvert. Poof gone crying puppy and then just running water.. Damn depressing dream. Lord knows I look at Eli every day with amazment he is alive and I havnt killed him off like a houseplant. But it was a nasty dream. So damn it I need some puppy love so I guess I will have to go see Glen and Sharon cause they never come to me. Sigh.
Ok there my psychoanalyst would be happy I posted my nightmare as soon as I woke up. Of course, if you were a psychoanalyst I would be your worst nightmare.

And I am now gonna pick a few words to spell wrong every post just for mom.

Well since I know so many of you just live for the day to day changes… here are a few new things the monster has figured out how to do.

Make more sounds, he sounds like a very sick cow sorta… or a sheep at times.

Watch TV. My favorite feeding place is the rocking chair and watching whatever TiVo has recorded for me that day. Well, he is no longer happy with facing me, he wants to see too and turns his head till I let him.

Eat a crap load. Yesterday he had about 40 oz. He woke me up at 6 am and to see what would happen I kept feeding him till he was done not ran out of formula. 10 oz. This was at 6 am.

Same formula but different. L2 has convinced me to keep him on powder. I was doing concentrate here at home and powder away, but now we are doing just the one. I think it is working but damn it is hard to tell at times.

Feet. Yea he has em. He actually grabbed one yesterday and was pulling it around and or trying to pull it off. He is using his hands A LOT more. Mostly shoving em into his mouth.

Dad is now no longer allowed to leave the room. He has hit a major needy stage and freaks when he can’t see me.. This includes the car where he faces back and well any other time I am out of sight. Yea, this is a great thing. Not that it isn’t cute but me going to the bathroom can create a temper tantrum till I show up again.

Did I mention he is stiff as a board now when he wants to be? So you can hold him by his chest flat over your head and all kinds of neat things. He is finally getting a strong enough neck to support it for a good long time.

Sleeping on his back is a no. Period. He wont. I know all about sids, and I know he is supposed to… You tell him that. He will thrash and eventually roll over and scream the whole time. When he hits his tummy he is asleep in 5 secs. He does NOT listen to me.

Hands are no longer allowed to be covered for any reason at all. He does not care if it is –30 outside. At night, in the car seat does not matter. Covering hands is an instant freak out.

Naps. 20 mins now does hat 3 hours used to. He has stayed up all day except for a cat nap many times now.. Not cause I have not wanted to encouraged him to go down.. he just some days will not. Other days he sleeps 16 hours. You figure.

Ok well all I can think of and I just used up my Daddy is allowed to be on the computer using both hands time. Now someone else wants to watch me try and type one handed.. sigh.

Well a few days has gone by and once again my world has been turned a bit upside down. But that’s ok, this time I am doing it myself.

Eli has been fussy to the point of frustration. He does not want to leave my arms at all, for anything. Cry’s in the car in the crib in the swing. Sigh. So we are doing a lot of cuddling. He was playing with his feet earlier but has not really figured em out yet. He has rolled over a few more times but is still surprised when it happens.

My cable modem died, and I had to get a new one… and it was a weekend and all that. So I got one today and I am back online. Major pain in the ass and when I got the new one it didn’t work and they had to fix a file on it after being on the phone for 45 mins. Sigh.

Future. Well.
L2 is moving up here. She is taking the job and they really sweetened it. Only draw back is higher tax bracket cause she is gonna clear 6 digits next year. As of now and this is subject to change I am going to move down with her when she moves up here. We know this is rushing things a lot and we are well aware of it, but… Damn it, it is working. There is just no point in her having to set up school and daycare and all the details when they would all have to change in a few months when I moved down. So we are just going on the plan that I move in right from the start. Though since it is 2 months away a lot can change. But I am still of the opinion that she is the one. She will be up for a week in Nov to meet mom and friends and stuff, and then we go house shopping. 5 kids we are gonna need a large house. Hehehe. I kinda like the idea of just a boys dorm, but sigh, I guess we need separate rooms for most of em. Least 3 rooms for the 5.
So I will become a stay at home dad. Something I am both looking forward too and scared of. But mostly looking forward. I like kids and I like being the Dad at home. L2 makes a crap load more cash than I do so it is stupid to have her do it. And neither of us wants latchkey kids. And heck with 5 one is gonna be sick or have an appointment basically every day. Should be fun.

So more to come on this, but that’s the rough plan.

Well time to leave work and reenter the land of the offline. Sigh. Had a very interesting conversation with L2 last night about the futrure and were we are heading. It is going way to fast but even though it is scary it is a good thing. We really have clicked and it is wierd doingit long distance but often it is like there is no distance tween us. I can not wait till she moves up here and she willbe comeing to vist in Nov to meet Mom and spend some time.

Eli is haveing a good morning, he is finnally dealing well with the formula and back dirtying diapers at regular times daily. Unfortunatly it is first thing in the morning but it is regular and that is what is nice. He is so noisy last week and getting more so, grunting and mumbleing and all kinds of sounds. He also has developed his squeel to shatter a wine glass at 300 ft. When he twists off thank god rarly, he can make you deaf in one ear in secs. Next Dr. vist is coming up and this one should not be fun cause more shots. But hopefully we will get the go ahead to start solid foods.

THe colors outside are so pretty. Every year I aprechiate them more and more. I guess it is an age thing or god forbid I am developeing some taste. Lord save me...

If this keeps up I am gonna have to get a back up internet account. I hate to use my cell cause I am so out of minutes. So if you don't hear from me that is why. Or I might have filled up the Taurus with more playboys and so forth and am once again smuggleing them into Utah. I get hits from around the world, almost every country and most every state. But I think Utah is boycoting me. Oh well...

Damn but the amount of growth daily is amaxing. Have I mentioned that yet? He is considering holding his own bottle. If he feels like it and the wind is blowing in the right direction.
But he also has his moments. Right now he is hungry but is screaming so hard he wont eat.. and no way to stop him. He is so much a happy camper now compared to how he was but he still has his moments.
And damn but he is growing.

BTW folks you DO know that I track all hits and comments and well everything. I know who you are all and all that crap. Cause I am amused by it. Took me like 3 days to remember who 24.198.37.65 (Masterb) was... I remember now... Email me.
Point is, if you want to hide, go somewhere else. Or just admit when you want to say something I am gonna be way more pissed if you hide than if you just email me obnoxious things.

Well the car is acting up again. Mildly. The belt needs replacing. And well no way I am gonna do it. I am gonna try and get the garage to do it cause it is prob bad after being taken on and off 300 times. Prob wont work, but worth a try.

Sorry I was mean to people but damn it is so annoying when I have a life that is so open when people pry and insinuate about the 2% I keep private.. Really bugged me.

It is amaxing how fast Eli is growing. He is in new outfits he did not fit 2 weeks ago. He is also getting more and more needy. Not a prob but can be a pest when I am trying to do things. My god this apartment is like 300 sq ft. And for the life of me I can not keep it as clean as I would like… Can you imagine when we have a house?

Yea on that note, L2 is accepting the Job in Mass. It is just WAY to good a job to pass up. The fact she is also going to be an hour 1/2 away as opposed to a 3 day drive is beside the point. So things are still going famously on that front. We had a minor issue with a touch past folks creeping in but I think we are over it. Basically the all is aglow stage is over and things are mostly still all aglow.

I think I have actually had it back since last night but I never checked. I was also so irritated with people and the journal I almost moved it to a new unnamed site. So let me try and put this carefully to a few of you people. Fuck you. This is my site. Period. Do NOT ever say dumb things about how you can not believe what I say or that I am not telling you everything cause frankly it is none of your business. 98% of my life is an open book. When people who are too much of cowards to even sign their name to an comment say that I am lying and or get upset cause I might sometimes not mention something I just see red.
How dare anyone give me a hard time if I ever decide to not share something. Unless your life is more open than mine STFU. It bothered me because I had no way to easily come in and edit comments so I was dependant on others to do it and it is SUCH a pain to post via my phone. And since I am out of minutes I was trying hard not to.

I guess the long and the short of things are things is this is my place and this journal is for me. I allow you to read it and I encourage people to comment but do not ever assume you have the right to chastise me if I do not give enough details to make you happy. And even I am making a major effort to not say things on here even in jest that I am going to have used against me in court. And that is a shame cause I would have loved to make a real nice story about going to Utah for the last five days with Eli to meet women and smuggle in books. But since someday I am sure I am going to be in court fighting for Eli I would be dumb to even joke about something that could be interpreted as dangerous for him.

So I guess in short, I am back, Screw you if you want more details, try emailing me not whining like a sack of shit in my comments, and the border is SOOO unprotected in Utah.

Well ok fine they are at the end of the street and I saw one of those big gas powered saws waiting at the cable line.. So chances are I am gonna loose bandwidth for a bit. Oh well Life goes on.

So while I am cast off for m civilization I would say call and entertain me…but don’t Cause I am so out of time on my phone for the month. If I am very careful I MIGHT make it to the end of the month without going way over. So do not be surprised if you do not hear from me for a week or so. Like at all….

I am still gonna talk to l2 of course but I do that in my free time after 9 pm. Other than that I am not gonna answer unless I feel like throwing $ out the window cause well. At .40$ a min it basically is..

So no phone, no internet. Damn but this is gonna be a kick ass weekend. The good news is Eli is talking.. he started to make sounds and gurgles yesterday today he is talking up a storm. I know in a few week is am gonna be sick of hearing him babble, but for now it is the cutest thing in the world.

Well once again I guess I was bad and I didn’t even know I was doing it.
I sent an email to Dawn today…
Hi.
It has been over 20 days and I have not received a response to the service I sent you. If I do not hear from you forthwith I will have you served as per state regulations. I was willing to discus this matter openly but you were not, since I have received no communications from you I am left with no other choices.

She did not receive it in a friendly way In fact she acted like I had wrote in on birch bark using dog shit as ink. I am sure she would have a complete fit and go majorly postal if I pasted in here response so let me paraphrase…

Don’t call me call my lawyer, and you suck. Don’t ever call me again and you suck.

Ok fine. Well the problem is that since where she works the email is so screwed up I got a returned error saying it did not go through I sent it again.. Opps. Now I did it in good faith, went and found their site and tried the email off of it instead anyways, hour later I get…

Once again you suck, And you are dumb cause you sent it twice, Do you know what harrasment is? Last time I will tell you don’t call me call my lawyer and I wont repeat myself, oh and you suck.

Ok well wave a red flag in front of a bull. Anyone want to guess what I did?? You got it INSTANTLY fired back a reply.

The msg repeated because I got an error when I sent it. I was not trying to harass you or to bother you in any way. I tried the email address in my address book and when I received an error I then tried the one of the web site. I should have just had you served by the sheriff but I was once again trying to do it the easy way. Sorry if it bothered you, I will not contact you again except via the courts. I have no need to call your lawyer, you can.

And I enclosed the error msgs.

So I guess that is not a valid form of communication huh? And since I have no need to call her lawyer and get put on hold for 5 hours I am just going to have her served by the sheriff. See how much she likes them apples…

Well damn but it takes all the fun out of a nap when you have nightmares.
Todays was sittng down and introduceing Eli to his mother, and then explaining how I have a new love in my life and all that. Does not sound really nasty, but safe to say was not pleasent. It has been over 20 days since I sent her the nice service of small claims, She has ignored it. So i guess now my only recourse is to do it the hard way and have her served by the sheriff. I really am suprised cause I though she would have called and tried to work it out. I guess this means she is not going to. Ok fine.
So far I only have $.37 invested. Once I pay $60 or more to have her served I am alot less likly to drop it. And you would think she would know me well enough that I was not going to just forget this.

Women.

When we are in the car now Eli once in a while sounds like to teenagers making out for the first time. The slurping sounds are incredable.

I made Chowdah tonight to use up the selery in the fridge before it went bad.. And then fogot to add it. Can you say bonhead?/\?
posted by Chuck Pierce 9:51 PM 7 comments

 
Oh and we have a new trick as of today.

When artilery is being fired they shoot a few rounds and the spoter tells them they are on target they then "fire for effect".

Well Eli just learned that. If he is fussy and i put him in the crib and walk away he quiets down, but if I get close it is full scream till i go out of site again. Very cute. Anoying as all get out but cute. Lucky he does not get much time to practice cause I always pick him up..
Oh well, reinforceing the behaviouv...

Random thoughts.

Washing bottles sucks.

I have to much Sourdough, anyone local want any?

The Cable geeks are like 5 miles away, not gonna be this week they get to my road.

Eli is about to have some prune juice, but not as much as last time. It was a pain in the butt to clean him. He crapped everywhere and it leaked out of his diaper.

No one will come to dinner. I keep inviting people but they all have like real lives or something.

Im gonna make an other chowder for dinner tonight.. Oh sorry Chowdah…

I need some exercise. Maybe this weekend.

It is hard to get a lot of exercise when you are toting a newborn.

Hmmm 3 months is old to be called a new born huh? But deal with it.

I need to sell some of my guns, The only one anyone wants so far is the .45 I do not really want to sell to much. But the SKS and other playtoys are going down the road, might take me a while, but they are out of here.

Eli has learned to squeeel. Any one doubt me come get your eardrums abused.

He can break a wine glass at 300ft. OUCH.

Ok well I am gonna do laundry. God it is lucky I am so domestic.

Welll last night for some reason I just crashed. I needed sleep so we actually stayed off teh phone for once and I went down for mostly 7 hours. And I am still tired now, but thats ok. It is cool that she (L2) gets it when I am tired even if I am fighting it.. She told me to crash last night and since I went out like light I think it was a good paln.
Went out last night earlyish and went over to Glens to meet Regis. The new puppy. Hmm It was a toss up for a few mins who was cuter Eli or the puppy. Eli won, or to me at least but it was a close thing for a minute. I took some pics I will upload em when I get a min.
Eli had a bad asfternoon over at Glens was VERy fusssy and whiney, but had an awesome night. It got cold last night but he slept like a log. Or well he could be dead but I think he is just asleep.

Got an apointment to go see WIC. only taken a fw weeks to get one and it is for Nov 4th. Sigh. Guess I can't complain though. Hopefully they can help. If we have to change to the predigested formula liek the Dr. wants to we are going to need to because I just plain can not feed him that stuff and feed me too. It is like 20$ a day almost at the way he is eating. Well ok not that high but close.

Ok well hopefully I should get my Taurus back today. The rental is not bad but I miss my car. Or well the radios in it at least,...

Had all teh fems and patients all come running when he started smileing and cooing. Little bugger gets more attention than I do.. Oh wait thats a good thing.

Heard via the grapevine that they are going to be replaceing the cable along the street this week. So I will prob be offline for a few days. Sob Sob. So if things get quiet on here I am prob alive, but offline. Might not be till Friday anyways... Of course if it is Friday then I will be down all weekend. Sigh.

Also things of note today. Eli is one year old. Well sorta.
Today is the day he was conceived. Pretty weird knowing the exact day, but was not hard to figure out. This is also a year to the day since the last time I went shooting. Sad I have like 20 guns and I have not fired one of them for a year. I keep meaning to sell some but it is such a pain to advertise them and all that. Plus they are mostly not worth a lot. Some I will never sell but a few i would not mind since I never use them.

So one year, Christ how things change. I hope this time the woman I am falling for does not wig out in a few months. By the laws of averages I should find a sane one soon

Well long home focused day.
Didn’t do crap today in fact. I needed some sleep from last night anyways so I did get a nap. Been feeding him prune juice and pedialite formula mixed. He hasn’t puked and is getting happy again so that’s good. Course he hasn’t had a dirty diaper either. So we will just pump the old Prune to him now and then.

Other news.. Well None.

I really need to do a real site redesign, but I am Way to lazy. Who knows maybe I will get motivated next weekend.
L2 is just wonderful and we have been not spending quite as much time chatting not cause we don’t want to but I was getting run down with a sick baby. Wed is the day when the 20 days have passed for the Dawn thing, so since I have not heard anything I guess I will have to have the Sheriff serve her. It is not going to go away and I am not, at least not with out her compromising. But heck she hasn’t yet so why start now.

Ya know, all kidding aside. Yes I am/was wife shopping. Made no secret of it. I do not like being alone nor do I want my son to be motherless. And contrary to popular opinion, I was being very picky. I talked to a lot of women, and a lot of them got rejected not even because they were not pretty or not nice just my internal spark meter. Well, anyways point is, thank god she lives in Tx. Cause even though we have not yet met, We are starting to have conversations about the future. We are gonna need that distance that forces us to slow down I have a feeling.

Well I think it was just a stomach bug, but he could be gummed up. He sure isnt very happy though. I finnally gave him some drugs and he has quieted down and I got 4 oz in him. he went from like 50 oz a day to 20. So something isnt right. and I got no nap cause he was so upset and I could have used one too. Didn't talk on the phone all night but he sure kept me up. Pretty sure he is trying to reach his feet with his hands but hasnt mastered moveing the feet closer. Boy sure does piss him off though when he can't.

Went and got some groceries. Didnt need alot but was out of flour and small stuff. And needed to get some more antigass drop for him. I dont think thats the problem, but trying everything.

Ok minor political rant.. run now

Saddam has a purpose. He is a western styled dictator in a region where everyone else is a religious fanatic. Or well most. So ok we topple him you know what the people want? Yea a Islamic rule. Since there are way more of them than sunis who are the rulers right now. Anyways, main point is once he is gone we will almost cerianly have someone new who is more pissed at us and does not want to drive a Rolls Royce. And that folks is the reason he stayed in power the first time. He is a nice buffer zone. Wel lOk I guess it is politically needful to kill him now.

Oh and don’t get me wrong I am all for whacking the SOB. I just think we should take the land and keep it. You want it back? Buy it from us.

Well that’s my opionion. I welcome yours. Well sorta, hmm actually I don’t really care…

But Brandy is getting VERY old and had a hard time picking up her back end for a bit. Makes me want to cry. Eli had a blast and we got eaten alive by the bugs.
Oh and I got muddy...

XGF took some pics of me with eli though and thats cool. Trying to upload em in theory... Most to the random file but a few to the latest Eli pics

For those of you who did not know, I have a tad bit of an ego. Yes it is a defense mechanism and a very effective one. So I watch my logs. Not only to keep track of my hits and so forth but to see where referrals are coming from. And well it amuses me. Not exactly hard to amuse me either, but nother story.

Anyways, I frankly don’t care who links to my site, This place even though it is an ego boost is here for me mostly. And the fact I amused so many people I have never met read it and a few even comment is just fine.

Long and the short is we had a new link used today.. or first noticed. Since site meter only shows last 20 I do miss em sometimes when 100 people pop in tween me looking. So anyways welcome…link And before I get in trouble Yes she is a redhead, but NO I have not talked to her or even know her name. hehe Actually L2 does not get jealous or least not yet, but it is fun to act like she does.
Anyone else? if I am the first link on your list I will definatly mention it on here. err well ok if i am anywhere on your list.. heheh

Other news, read the coments on the post under this one if you want to know about the speed issues on here..

Ok I am off to walk the kids. With a "s". meeting the XGF and gonna introduce Eli to the dogs and then walk em all. Also have a talk withthe XGF and tell her that L2 and i are getting serious so she is cutt off. Should be a great time let me tell ya. Right up there with a root canal, cept for seeing the dogs

Well today has been interesting.
I got someone fired today. And enjoyed it.

Cruiseing down the road this morning and had an ambulance come right up on my bumper. Now this was not an in service ambulance, I would not have been still in the lane if he had his lights on. Well anyways since he was 3 ft off my bumber I moved over. And thought he needs to learn how to drive. Well long story short over the next ten mins I saw him tailgate every vehicle, some closer than 4 ft. Pass people on the right, and basically drive like a complete moron. Now he was not going anywhere, he was going same speed as me he just was very ina propriate how he was dealing with other vehicles that were slower. So anyways, after I watched him pass on the right and squeeze tween two cars with 3 ft or so to sapre I got pissed. Called the number on the back of the amulance and asked to speak to the operations manager. Told him what I ahd seen and how badly he was driveing. Also told him that he has a lawsuit waiting to happen and if I had seen a cop around I would have had the guy pulled over for a OUI test. Basically ranted for ten mins but in a polite way. So 10 miles ro so down the road it pulls over on the side and in my mirror I wathc the driver and passenge trade seats.. heheh I think it is safe to assume he was out of a job.

Moroal to this story is, don’t drive like a frigging tourist in a company car. Or at least not in a construction zone.

SO what else.. Lost a pot last night.
Making some of my famous chowhdah and talking on the phone to Meg. Went to drain the water from the corn and the handle fell off. Made it into the sink but made a HELL of a mess. And I lost all the corn.. Grr. So today sucked cause I do not have a pot to wash bottles in.. since the other one had the chowdah in it. So I guess I get to go pot shopping. Sigh.

Eli is very unhappy most of today. He is a little bit better when I hold him but something is bugging him cause he is screaming non stop alot. SO I am up at work for next 20 hours and I am not gonna have him scream nonstop. Next time he twists I am gonna try the ambusol again and see if it is teething. If it doesnt help I am gonna drug the unhappy bugger. Hate to give him Tylonal even, but he was so unhappy.

Well ok then, I am saddened that my number of hits has went down so dramatically lately.
But, I have a feeling it is because of one of two reasons.

Either my writing has sucked for the last few weeks, and well if that is it then sucks to be you cause I am in a groove.

Or cause I yanked your ass off my master list of Wives to be. And well if that’s the reason, now you know why. Ahhah
No really though I know I have been Lax in being mildly entertaining. But well I am happy and that is not a normal way for me to be.
Of course I am also staying up all the night and taking naps like I was when Eli was first born. Interesting thing is I am not dead on my feet like then. I think it is because when I do sleep it is uninterrupted,. Anyways, Oh and also. I have not had a sleeping pill cept once in last 2 weeks.
So if my creativity on here has been lax, well I am sorry.

Actually no I am not.

We are having a blast. Still excited every time we talk and just getting on like gangs afire. Last night we had our first wobble, no real long explanation needed but suffice it to say a minor trust issue came up and we worked through it like, like, well Christ, If that is how we are going to argue and work through stuff I am gonna marry this woman.

I got snotty and upset and was my worst obnoxious self and well she took it and understood. Lord save me.

Christ if she turns out to like Styx too I might just marry her.

Ok take a breath, no we are not going that far yet, and we both do have heads on our shoulders. Or I think so…

Anyways, the big news? We are going to meet. And well I think it is safe to say it is cause I NEED to. We are both nervous and apprehensive but I just have to talk and see her in person. No clue why, I think it is a leftover form the LEC and his penchance for falling madly in love with people who are figments. So I need a meet. So we are.

In the interest of national security I am not going to say when, how or where. I know that so many of you ladies are so upset and I do not want to have an incident. Heheh. Yea ok I am joking. I am not going to talk about it cause well it is just for us till maybe afterwards. Anyways lots can happen tween now and then.

I think a big reason I feel so strongly we need to actually sit down together (yes in somewhere public and all that) and talk is to make sure the spark I feel is there when we touch also.

I have been struggling to get over two failed relationships, and the residue of them is what has really fired my journal. And I think I have made major progress in working through most stuff, but I know I am not ready to dive headlong into a relationship with out some breathing space. And I fully well know no matter how good this feels my first and foremost concern HAS to be Eli. And well I think we are both content with the fact that even though this has gone REALLY fast we have a few failsafe built in to slow us down.

So, well he long and short is, she went down a few pts last night but since she is now at 981 out of 1000. Safe to say we are doing good.

Heck the cut off is at like 150 out of 1000 before I can’t handle it, and well, anything over 500 is just gravy.

So anyways, Sorry if things get slow on here, but have no fear. My life will explode on its regularly scheduled interval. But this time so far it has exploded for the good.. Wow didn’t know that was possible.

And heck so far Doc likes her, and he likes only 2-3 females in the world. That is a as good as a qualification as she will ever need.

Well that was something everyone should do at least once. Go to the store with a baby and buy.. Only.. A bottle of Karo, some infant Ambusol and a bottle of wine.

Karo for his constipation
Ambusol for him teething (lord I hope not)
And wine for his teething, err for me for his teething.

I got some strange looks but hey, he screamed for 45 mins today and I can not figure out why. it is either intestins or teeth so gonna try working on both till he is happyer.

Such fun should not be had.

Twas an interesting night discussion wise. I am sure there will be more forthcoming soon. Bu for now he is fussing so up I get.

Did I mention the rental/loaner is a Subaru? Kinda fun but the clutch is spent on it. Still not sure if I liked them saying don't call us we will call you about my car. But as long as the damn thing is fixed I guess it is fine. I am not happy to say this, but I think he is teething, He is trying to shove his fist in his mouth non stop and is SOOO fussy. Just wonderfull... Sigh.

My my how the day flys by when you sleep most of it. hehe. No but I did take a nap. BUT I did all my chores to so it is ok. Dishes all done and all the bottles washed. Floor cleaned and laundry in. Baby bathed and loved, er mostly.
It is time to start thinking about childproofing this place some what.. ARRRGGGG. He is not crawling but I have a feeling we are not that far away anymore.
Hmm amybe Ill call glen and go visting tonight..

And you know, technology is a great thing huh, was we could only talk when she was at home and had time to get online., now we can not only call 24/7 but we can also send msgs.. and she does.. and I do. heheh.

Well, another great night. He slept real well mostly and I went to bed at an early hour. AHHAHAH... No really we went to bed around 2. Man but this relationship is going fast. Incredible the amount of emotion being tossed around carelessly by us.

To be fair though, even though she was taken by surprise and I was to in a way, I have made no bones about the fact I am wife shopping. And well, let me put it this way, the only thing missing from this relationship right now is time. Since I have either driven the last 2 insane, or they were predisposed to it, dealers choice, we just have to make sure she is gonna not wig out on me. Oh yea and the fact we havnt actually met.. Technical details.

But none of the warning signs are there, no red flags, and well, we have compressed a lot of time into the last few weeks..

Latest stats for those keeping track..

Phone time, over 2000 minuets (now you see why I have free nights and weekends?)

Computer time Loads of a few mins here and there. 3-4 hours typing msgs when we both had a min during the day. Oh and about 30 emails…

20-30 photos mostly old shots…but some new ones scattered in.

So yea I know we have only been seriously talking for about 2 weeks, but we have crammed a heck of a lot of time in those weeks. She should be coming to visit very soon and that will be the last piece of the puzzle cept the time issue…It is just scary the way we think alike and agree on so much. And I have not been the one doing all the talking even though I am predisposed to it.. You can gain an awful lot of insight about me reading the blog, but there is no way she could be making it up as we go and not have it show. Christ, the expression that came to mind to me the other day was the over hyped and fictionary “soul mate” concept.

And well the saving grace of this relationship and the one thing that gave us both some serious freedom to not worry about the speed. Namely that nothing could happen till next summer, has just evaporated.
She got a job offer up here that is worth yanking the kids out of school. Or I should say she is being wonderful and being careful and thinking about it and talking with family. But in my opinion it is that good an offer, and didn’t think anything would make me say that.

So anyways, Sorry I have not been blogging so much, but it is all HER fault. We need to make her a little less perfect….

I have like 2 more hours to kill before I can call L2. And or she call me. Just gave Eli a bath and he had a blast. He is rolling up on his side, not quite over but on his side. Great fun. Usually only when he is pissed about something though.

Made chix for dinner, first time I have not eaten bread in like 2 weeks. I love my bread machine and the sourdough line I have going, but I need so other food groups.

Scary to think in an other month Eli will be starting solid food, Wow. I have officially stopped keeping track of weeks. It was getting silly. He is 3 and a bit months old. If you want more specifics then get out a calendar.

People are bitching I do not blog as much. And they are right. But honest it has nothing really to do with L2. It is more that every time I sit here to type my arm feels like it has a (to use Glens line) fork stuck in the shoulder. Kinda hurts. So if I am not emailing you a lot or typing a lot that is why.

The amount of time that I am gonna put up with this hurting is rapidly running out. It all Doc’s fault cause he hasn’t waved his magic want and made it go away.

Ya know I can actually start to have a glass of wine at night now. Since Eli is not getting up 20 times in the first 3 hrs anymore. He is down now and will stay down for 1/2 the night. I could prob get him to do more but it is my fault he hasn’t been. Look at tit this way, it is 2 am , and you are about to get off the phone and goto bed. He has been 5 hours since a feeding.. do you wake and feed him or let him wake up pissed in 5 mins to 3 hrs?

I usually wake him. I still have not got do not wake a sleeping baby down pat.

I need to take out the trash.. I missed it last week but then I filled up both barrels and some cleaning out my car. Opps.
Sigh. I really enjoy dragging the barrels to the st too. HAHAH Yea it is so hard as opposed to putting em all in the back of the car with the baby and having to drive to the dump HAHAh. Yea ok stop whining Chuck.

Oh and the Other Chuck Pierce has taken the lead on Google again.. I need to use my name more. I have no need to be the top return, but it is fun….

Well i took a long ass nap. So did Eli. he has only rolled over the once but is still trying. He wants so much to lie on his tummy poor guy. Sigh. But I am still terrified of SID's so I only put him on it when I am right there.

Well L2 got a cell phone so now if we can figure it out I can send her Msgs during the day and wind her up like she does me. heheh, Such a simple mind I have.

Called WIC and they are sending me a new form, sigh being super genius I lost the old one after I filled it all out.
So that is done.

Eli is leaking alot latly, very annoying. If i do the diapers tight then when they expand he gets uncomfortabel, if I do em loose he leaks,,, Arrggg. I got to be doing something wrong, but hard to figure out what.. a diaper is not exactly in need of a degree to instal.

Well he is going nuts today. Serious red letter day. he just turned over by himself... Oh my god... and he was noticing his feet this morning.. Ok fine, one big step at a time little guy.
I need a nap, but I have a feelling it is not gonan happen for a bit.

Well that was some of the most fun you can have with your pants on. Wow I am bit tired. Don’t know why really, oh wait might it be cause we just talked through the night? 6 hrs and we just kinda forgot to hang up. Scary, we really are going great guns. We are doing so much talking I am afraid by our first aniverserary we will have nothing to say to each other.

On that note might be some news of the L2 situation soon. Things really are going absolutely fabulous (Sorry all you hopefuls). On my 1-1000 scale she is hovering right about a 990. But we have not actually met even though we have talked an incredible amount. Safe to say we are way past the is there a spark stage.

Other news..

I have none, Came home unpacked all the food and stuff, played with Eli, ate, and took a nap and then got on the phone at midnight and never got off of it.

I am trying not to blog to much about L2 cause she is not really comfortable with the idea yet, hehe , give her time. But if you didn’t gather from the above things could not be going better. Ok I am now repeating myself, not rare but is in the same paragraph…

Eli is definitely not hurt from his fall, but I am still a tad freaked out, gonna make very sure it does not happen again. So anyone wants to hear more or to chat call and keep me awake from 8-11. Cause I am sure I am going to be tired then even if I am not now.
