I'm starting to get back to a normal life.  Therapy is NOT fun at all.  The guy is super nice, but causing extreme pain.  I'm out mowing this week in place of Crew Chief Chris.  BTW--I'm typing with one hand just to show off.

I finally broke down and got a facebook.  Please forgive me Xanga.  You'll always have a place in my heart.  I just need to go where the "cool" kids are.

Final update on life: (Well, I hope it isn't the final update, but the most current at least.)

1.  I applied for the Middle School Principal job after much prayer.  I had a master plan to continue HS Band and Jazz, and then hire an assistant to take the MS Bands.  Oh well.... I didn't get the job.  Now I just have to wonder if it just wasn't my time, or if God doesn't want me to try it or not. 

2.  I do not believe we will be buying another house anytime soon.  With the surgery and have to pay hundreds and hundreds more in labor this summer, it looks like we will not have an abudance of money to float through the winter.  Maybe next year...

I wish Transformers wasn't PG-13.  I checked some reviews and it is too mature for Austin to see.  He is going to be heartbroken.

Have a great 4th of July!

Post surgery post

Surgery on tuesday went well.  I get to wear a sling for 3 weeks.  Daytime tv is lame.  My neck hurts.  I can type pretty quick with one hand.

Update on life, Part II

After the excitement of the Should Dislocation, things are settling down.  I'm having surgery on Tuesday to try and fix the problems with my ligaments, labrum and cartilage.  I will be in a sling for 3-6 weeks.  Its going to just be a couple of weeks because I am such a good healer.  That is going to be hard on the mowing side of life, but I think if I put my trust in Chris Small I will be fine.

I have a new phone:  I like it, but it is pretty complicated.  I lost some numbers when transfering, so if I have to ask who you are when you call, don't be too upset.

House:  We've missed out on two houses within just a few days both times.  Maybe God is telling us to wait and just be content where we are.  I don't want to.

My future:  Some things are still stirring around.  I'll know more in one month.  However..for good or bad, I will still be the HS Band Director at OCS next year. 

Today:  Going to my mom's retirement party at Demarios in Perkins.  It should be WILD!!!

See ya,

Big Weekend!

So the wife is gone and I'm here with the kids all by myself.    Its going to be great.  After cooking their choice of dinner:  Popcorn shrimp and Macaroni & Cheese, they are taking baths and getting ready for bed.  I messed up and threw out the rest of the macaroni because I thought Austin was finished....wrong.  So, we are going to run to McDonald's and get some ice cream for dessert when they get cleaned up.  We'll go in our jammy-jams because that is something mom wouldn't do. 

Update on life:

No new house yet

No new phone yet

No firm decisions on exactly what my future holds

Cellphone

Oh my.... I'm trying to decide what phone to get.  I haven't done enough research.  I'm looking at a Blackjack or Blackberry Pearl.

This is tougher than I would have thought.
