Eight hours in
Evey has been picked up. Next stop: gotta go get the Bub.
We've arranged a spaghetti dinner at the farm, so the food issue for tonight has been resolved.
The bath thing? Still trying to figure out if the car wash is an option.
Evey was off the charts today (which means she was really good at school), and is still happy, overall. It'll probably be tonight before she realizes that Mom's not giving her a bath, and Mom is actually NOT HERE.
She did ask me when we got home, "Is Mom on an airplane?" and I said, "Yeah, sweetie," and she just sort of frowned.
The tooth hasn't fallen out yet.
Please, please… no one get sick for the next seven days…
Three hours in
To Momma leaving for Orlando.
The realization has just set in. I feel cold. Maybe fearful. Or maybe that's the 5-Hour Energy Drink.
Questions that come to mind:
-- How often do these kids eat?
-- Is Boydee potty trained yet?
-- Can you feed a Boydee chili?
-- Does this outfit I'm wearing match at all?
-- Do I have to finish the laundry that's in the washer/dryer?
-- Do they need baths every day? Or is that a weekly thing?
-- Who is going to watch Boyd from that Godawful time of 6 a.m. until 7:30?
-- If I don't know the answers to Evey's homework, can I just make something up?
-- If that tooth falls out, do I need to leave a window cracked for the Tooth Fairy to get in?
Wow… I might be screwed.
But hey, at least the jukebox is turned up to 11. And I am chewing on a toothpick right now with no fear.
(I'm kidding. The jukebox is always on 11. I work from home, suckas!)
But mostly… we miss Momma already!!!

A win and What-a-Burger
Big news: Evey's team won their game this weekend! Seriously!Well, Evey wasn't there... she's was sick all week, so we didn't let her play. But I did coach the game, and felt good about the timing of my time-out (when the lead was cut to 2 midway through the third quarter) and even my handling of subbing out our leading scorer with the game in hand and one minute left.
The score was 16-8 by the end. The team we played? They struggled with the same things we do, but... moreso.

Jessica's meatloaf for dinner tonight. Awesome! Also, hit Anthony's for dinner on Saturday night. Solid, and affordable! $35 for the four of us... and I ordered two beers and an appetizer!
***
Was in San Antonio for a few days last week. So we had What-a-Burger for dinner on Friday night. That, too, was awesome.
***
My diet? Yeah, it's going great!

Weekend of 1.18.14
 |
| Another shot from this summer, this one from the T-Bones game... |
Good weekend here.
I got home from a 5-day business trip on Thursday night, so it was good to get home and see everyone.
Since Evey was so good all week, I took her to Sunfire Ceramics. We were there for two hours! I brought a book and read (Breaker Boys, about an old NFL team.) Following that, we went and met up at Tres Mexicanos with Mom, Boydee and Judy, and had dinner. That night I watched Kevin Durant score a career high (54?) against the Warriors.
Saturday we had another basketball game. It was the closest game we've had all season, losing 14-6. We took a lot of shots, but didn't make a bucket until the 3rd quarter. Evey had maybe one rebound. She led the game in most minutes played without touching the ball. Following hoops I took Evey with me to the barbershop AND Rick's, where we played some Buckhunter. We took off to meet Greg Nunn at Phoggy Dog. From there, Adrianne took Evey with her while I returned to Rick's to watch the KU/OSU game. Back home in time for dinner/bath time, then Adrianne and I watched "This is the End" with Seth Rogan, James Franco and Jonah Hill... it was decent, I laughed a few times. Most surprisingly, Adrianne watched the whole movie with me.
Sunday we went to church, then Panera (pphhhtthbbtttt) for breakfast. Adro and Evey went to volunteer (nice job!) Boydee and Judy went to the farm (cool!) while I went to help Neuty move some furniture (not bad!) Lunch with Neuty (he generously bought) at Jack's, then I came home and took the Christmas lights down, finally. It was nice out, so I didn't mind going out there. Then I came in and watched the Broncos game, where I'm reporting live now (it's the 4th quarter, looks like the Donkeys have this one.)
Random moment of the weekend: I somehow put my back out at Panera. I'm just standing there, ready to leave, and all of a sudden it started sparking and I had to grab hold of a chair.
I was able to get though moving some furniture, and through taking the lights down... but I can tell I'm going to be weak for a day or so...
Looking forward to Big Monday tomorrow night!

Butterflies!

Billy Casper. Also, zombies. And ice cream.
SOOOOO... not much to report. Evey a little sick. Bubba reported there was a monster in his room. Not good. He's enjoyed sleeping in his room somewhat. Don't want him to start being freaked out by being alone in there...
***
I watched the movie "The Last Man on Earth" the other day, starring Vincent Price (1964). Almost gave up on it... and then there was a legitimately scary part that made it worth watching. A weird ending, though. The recent Will Smith movie, "I Am Legend" is based on the same book, or screenplay. That movie also has a weird ending. I haven't seen World War Z yet, but I want to.
***
Was at a restaurant tonight, and they were closing. Eye witnessed the bartender dumping out the last remnants of the ice cream machine.
That was sad. Why not hand out a cup of ice cream to all the remaining customers, I asked?
She just laughed, like I was joking.

Nice W for the Jayhawks last night. Thought the Iowa State game would be tougher.
Embiid... looking TOUGH!
