Working Hard for the Money

Chad is out of town working this week - he gets back Thursday night - so it's me and baby Chico till then - work is crazy busy right now but we are so thankful for that - i hate that chad has to work so hard but i think he kinda likes it too - so anyways i have plans to get alot of work done and some errands ran while he is gone.

so here i am watching teen mom on mtv, searching the internet and having a glass of wine - so exciting i know - but it's relaxing and what i like to do.

till next time....

Great Weekend

To say the least we have a had quite a trying week - more on chad than me - teenagers are not the easiest to raise and parenting has to be at your best - it's complicated in every since of the word and not to mention hard. why do people have kids again?...just kidding - talk about instant birth control.

We decided to take the kids to Dallas Saturday after the basketball game for some good ole family time. We headed to the Galleria and spent 2 hours there doing some shopping - we then went and saw the movie - Spy Next Door at the Studio Movie Grill - where you eat and watch the movie at the same time - everyone really enjoyed this - it was fun and something different to do - the kids then swam at the hotel and we all watched tv and fell asleep. The next day we went to Dave and Busters to watch the Cowboy game. We all had a great time - it was a very successful trip.

I feel like we are somewhat back on track. I am hoping. No one enjoys problems. I know it is part of life and having kids but definitely not the fun part. This maybe a growing year for all!

So Much Fun!

We had a great time at Todd & Lana's 40th Birthday Party last night. It started off with a limo ride to the party with the family - felt like a celebrity - "Party like a Rock Star" is what Todd replied back with when I mentioned this to him. There were lots of people there when we arrive and more kept coming - lots of friends to celebrate their 40th. Martha came which I was so glad. She is so much fun. Good drinks, good food and lots of dancing is what carried the night away. I couldn't believe it was almost 2am when we got home - time flies when your having fun! I would say it was a very successful party! Let's do it again next year!

By the way - I am so sore from my workout yesterday - i can barely walk - i need a wheelchair so Chad can just wheel me around until I am not sore anymore - so thankful i don't have a hang over to go along with the soreness - think i would just have to die then.

Nobody Lucky Last Night

Last night my deposition ran late and I got to the Casino at about 8:00. By then we were winning but Colt McCoy was hurt and out of the game. I knew it was trouble. It was. I ended up in Casino with Tony Cruz even before game was over. I won, he lost ( Tony always looses). I gave it back to them the next morning but in the end did not loose. This is a boring post. I stayed up too late and the hours of gambling are not crystalizing into any real defining moment last night. I did have a 400.00 payout on a slot machine at 2:45 a.m. Yes, I quit and went to bed. Wife in bed and asleep and not near very romantic!

Go Horns Go

I am pumped about the Texas National Championship game tomorrow night. I have a deposition in Shreveport tomorrow at 5:30 so I am staying to watch the game at the Eldorado Casino. Rebecca is coming over so we will have a great dinner at The Vintage, a great place to have dinner. We will watch the game and I will try to gamble and build on my complimentaries.
I have a prediction that we will upset Alabama like we did USC. Let's hope so. We will spend the night which is a place we really like to stay and come back to the office the next morning. I am feeling lucky, we will see.
Basketball games start this Saturday morning so we will be up early, hopefully workout, and then on Todd's party. It should be a wild party, I will have to drink a 5 hour energy drink to hang in there for the long haul. Hopefully we will have a few pictures and video to post. It should be interesting.

It is chilly!

Our schedules have began again - but i am glad - i like routine. The kids started back to school this week and us back hard at work. Chad is really busy - which is good - we just hope it stays that way through out 2010. We had the kids last night due to Chad's crazy schedule. They were extremely tired this morning - getting back on schedule and being half way thru the week - i would say it is expected for them to be.

It is freezing outside. I can barely make Chico go outside - he just wants to snuggle. We had a pipe break yesterday - water flowing all day on our side yard - funtimes. Thankfully, my dad dropped everything and left the fieldhouse to come to my rescue - as usual - he knows how to do everything - Chad was friends with a plumber so it all worked out.

I snapped a picture of Chad and Chico still asleep one morning over the break. I had gotten up and couldn't resist - too cute - As you can tell i get the small spot on the edge of the bed while Chad and Chico take up the rest!

We have a busy next couple of days and Saturday including Todd & Lana's 40th B-Day - which reminds me - we need to take lots of emergen-c to get ready. Looking forward to a lazy Sunday resting.

Good Morning

Rebecca is still asleep at 10:30 a.m. with chico. She deserves it. Most mornings she is up early taking care of something for somebody OR reading blogs on this computer. She has a menu planned for today to bring us luck and good fortune, we would like to have both.

Jake is obviously still asleep, but Kate and Zach are in the playroom. I hope Rebecca wakes up before they want breakfast. Kate may want to go get some donuts because the firework stand is right next to it. We will see.
