Well 32 down, the rest to go…

Ahh my birthday is upon me. I think its time for a little retrospect on what else I have learned in the  last 365 days:

1. No matter how hard I try women in general will always baffle and confuse the hell out of me. As hard as I try to understand my wife the less I understand about women. I guess this is a rule of the universe. Mars and Venus can kiss my ass.

2. That no matter how small something is it can interrupt your sleep @2:00am, 4:00am etc. My beautiful Kate I love you.

3. I sweat worrying about losing my job. But outside of the money I think I would have been fine. That place does drive me insane from time to time but a job is a job in the economy.

4. I have continued to try new things as part of new years resolution from 2008. I have enjoyed this. I had scalloped potatoes for the 1st time and they were awesome. I am slowly working my way up to sushi. Slowly.

5. I have found that in the past I hated to shave my face. But since my darling Meghan doesn’t like my picky face a she calls it, shaving everyday isn’t a hassle anymore. Wifey would hate to read this one.

6. That giving up fast food was harder then it sounded. The ease and convenience of that makes it very tempting. But in the end I was able to avoid it during lent and survive.

7. I severely miss my brother.

8. I have changed my ways and started to read to learn new things, (this hooks into #4 sort of). I either read a random article on the wikipedia or a not so random article. But I try to learn new things everyday now.

9. I have learned that no matter how hard I try I know now that spending time with my friends is not going to happen as often as i would like. I love my friends both local and abroad but its just so difficult with life, wife, kids and work to find a extra 30 seconds to do anything.

10. I will wrap this up with always have a designated driver makes the good nights better knowing you have someone to get you home safe to the loved one’s.

Maybe I have learned more but these are the one’s that stick out.

I bought a book?

Yeah well even a sun shines on a dogs ass now and again!!

Bruce Book

Bruce Book

Yeah I know It’s just cause he is Ash that I bought this book. But It’s Ash come on. The book isn’t like his last one but a Novel about his rise to the “A” list and fall back to what he is use to “B” list direct to DVD films. Pick it up if you are a fan, need something to read or have nothing to prop the laptop up on your desk. Oh well quick post then some book time.

A busy time of it…

Well it has been a little over a month since I posted and I have been busy.

s4022673

Well to start Kate was born on 10-22-08. Katherine Beth Mullen. She has made my family bigger and my life more complete. She has also reminded me of how little sleep, food and sex that I can run on in a month. I am completely out of energy but when she makes a peep I am up to check on her and all of the other girls as well.

Now with Kate in the house I am out numbered in male to female ratio. 4 to 3. My male cats and I are trying to keep the faith but things

are starting to turn pink around here.

I will now bypass a nearly a month of crap and bring it to Saturday before XMAS.

My brother comes home and we decorate cookies. Family starts to fight early. A full like 4 days before Xmas a record for all of them.

My Brother and I

My Brother and I

So my brother and I do what we do best. Punch and kick the shit out of each other until we are yelled at by a higher force. Wifey and or Mom. We play games I fix the problem with his XBOX 360 and zing Tuesday before Xmas

Meghan has a show at school. Which she sang and everyone came. Normal families had the mom and dad plus any siblings. My whole  family shows up in laws included. Hey they love her so I never complain:

So now its Xmas eve and my family didn’t get in any visible fights. My aunt Elaine called like clock work when we are all together. I showed up late cause I fell asleep in the bath tub and bam dinner,  presents for the kids and more food. Desserts from everyone. Family was good that night.

Home after that to wrap all of the gifts I had for Kelly that day because since Kate we have no time. Setup Xmas and off for a wee 5hrs of sleep. Which Kate slept thru the night!!! Hasn’t since but hey take them when you can get them.

Christmas Day:

Gifts and such get totally decimated in 15 minutes. I get the games and movies I wanted save 1. (Iron Man forgot to tell anyone that oops!!!). Kelly gets all the things she wants and Meghan is too busy opening things to notice what she got.  Out the door and off to Momma Cyn’s for breakfast which was awesome. More gifts which filled the trunk. Left there and off to my parents who have flu and keep our distance while getting the gifts and giving them.  Then back home for a quick nap and off to Kelly’s Nana’s for dinner and more gifts. Home and completely exhausted. All in all a nice day. Long but nice.

I missed the opportunity to see some friends and family this year. I tried but hey I got a lot going on here. Sleep ranks above a shower these days.

That is pretty much bring us to now. New years is almost upon us and what a year it was. Well time for some sleep I guess what little I get anyway…..

That old feeling

The recent events in my life have made me go thru old yearbooks and pics. Thanks to Trev the pic from Mr. Hawkeye resurfaced.(thanks pal!). I remember the simple times of getting and going to school, hanging out and staying up all night. Tell you the truth I don’t think I could stay up all night if I had to. Maybe…

After talking with Chris and Georgia again makes me think back to those simple times and wonder..Why the fuck can’t I have that again. Can’t now even if I tried but here is to hope!!

Growing up geek is a way to circumvent the distance but I miss the real experience of the old times. So much time lost between the 4 of us now. Could it ever be made up? Who knows. He have jobs, wives, kids and lives now. They tend to get in the way of good times. Not that I would trade any of what I have now…

Baby will be here soon. Long nights and days ahead. Holidays are coming now. That makes things all the more difficult to get time to breathe let alone time to get together with friends. But I have to do my best to try. Maybe be the last time for a while before we are all close enough to see each other.

This is a odd stream of thought I know. But for those that know me or understand the situation then this had made some sense.

Time for some sleep I guess……
