Long weeks lately. School work. Kids. Rentals. Restaurant.

At least I am on spring break this week, so I should be able to get some things done. Although, I have a CT scan tomorrow, and am supposed to get the port out of my chest on Tues. which I am looking forward to.

We took Coop and Knox and Ky and Kade to the zoo today. It was a nice day, but really cold. We did the aquatic and cat building for a long while which is indoors.


Coop waiting for the shuttle.


Knox and Dad.


Knox- Slidin'.


Coop and Dad- Fixin' it.


Coop and "Weinstein".


Knox, you couldn't be any cuter.

I love you boys.

Smile, today could be your last.

Maybe I'm an idiot. Maybe I don't watch enough dateline, or even the local news. I saw on my phone (really my only source of news) that Kate Middleton sold a see-through dress for $125,884.

First off, I had to look up who Kate Middleton was. Ok, so she's engaged to the Prince of Whales. I suppose that is a big deal. Look at this:



I've got two words for the people that bid on this:

Fuck You.

You do not deserve to have money.

There are people in the world that can't pay their bills. Can't find a meal. Can't afford a roof. Again, fuck you.

That makes me feel a pubic hair better than I did a minute ago.



Sandra Bullock donated one million dollars to Japan. I think that's great. But how much money do you have to have to dontate a million? I'm jealous.



There is a dispute right now between the NFL player's union and the owners. Both sides are a bunch of greedy bastards. As if that wasn't enough, now Adrian Peterson is calling the NFL...well...here's the quote:

"It's modern-day slavery, you know? People kind of laugh at that, but there are people working at regular jobs who get treated the same way, too. With all the money," Peterson continued. "The owners are trying to get a different percentage, and bring in more money."

If slavery is making 10.2 million a year to play a game, where to I sign up to be a slave.

Adrian Peterson is a knucklehead who has no idea what he is talking about. Shut your mouth.

I for one am turned off by pro sports. As I type this I am watching the NCAA tournament (just finished off a reuben and a Bass- delicious). Even that is being corrupted, but it is way better than pro sports.



So, good night Adrian. Good night rich pervert who bought a see through dress. Good night Sandra. At least your intentions are good (make sure your accountant writes that off, and oh yeah, make sure you post it everywhere that you donated...gotta make it known, we need the credit).

God help us all.

Wendy and Coop and Knox and I went to Clay's hockey game on Sunday. Tom and Virginia are out of town on vacation, so parenting coupled with our everyday responsibilities has pushed us to the limits this week. We take shifts eating, take turns napping, showering, you name it. We let each other sleep in every other day (tomorrow is my day Wendy), so that we can give our kids the utmost attention when we do have them. I stayed up until 4:00 AM playing poker on Tuesday night (morning?) and still was Super Dad this morning at 8:30. That's just how I roll...I have one speed, one gear, "Go". Winning.



Knox is going to start talking any day now. He already says things like, "Whoa" and "Uh-Oh", and his word recognition is becoming advanced. He understands "bath" and "time to get in your chair" and "go bye-bye".

Tonight we took the boys to jump over at Pump it Up. A bounce house full of three different set ups, where kids can throw themselves around and avoid injury. It has to be crawling with infectious disease, and the thought of it makes me want to go take a shower. Also, it really smells like feet. But, the kids don't seem to mind.

We went out to dinner at Friday's, and Knox just didn't want to sit still. Coop is really getting good at behaving in public, and now seems to only throw tantrums at home.

Gotta go shower up, and then get some schoolwork done.

Smile, today could be your last.

I have had the best time with you boys over the last couple of weeks. I work too much, but the time that I do get with you, I wouldn't trade for anything in the world.




Smile, today could be your last.
