The lost weekend

I know I have some catching up to do, but I still haven't downloaded the pictures from the third birthday party a couple weeks ago. So I will just update you on the last week. Over the weekend, I had planned on going out of town for work. I blew off a conrhole tournament that I was sure to win just to spend time with the kids. And on Sunday when I was supposed to leave, I let the wife make all kinds of plans. The day was so full it was ridiculous. But I didn't care because I was going to be on a plane out of Dodge. But people didn't do what they said they would and the business trip fell through. I was stuck going to all the functions I would have been escaping. We hit three birthday parties, all without alcohol. This lack of alcohol is something my inlaws will have to get used to after my last party, but I will talk about that when I get the pictures up.

The dog is remarkably still alive. She managed to eat part of my grill cover and then chewed up my ignitor. So we moved the grill off the back porch and I will be doing Ghetto grilling from the yard. Doesn't anyone want a beautiful, wonderful dog?? Cheap.

I don't think I mentioned on here that somebody stole my credit card information and went on a shopping spree at Walmart. Well they did. So I tried to use my card to get some furniture and got declined. You know that always makes you feel so nice when you are told your card is no good. Cheap ass. I had to file a police report and the cops had to come out to take the information. I didn't tell the kids that the officer was coming so they all come running to me when he arrives, all freaked out. I use the fear of police officers as a deterrent to kids unstrapping seat belts in the car so you can understand their fears. It is always good to keep them on their toes.

Oh since we got new furniture, I had to unload the old sectional. I turned to trusty old Craigslist and Mr. Craig did not let me down. I had people beating down the door to buy it. Ain't America great?
