The Wife just called. Seems she is in the ER with the youngest of my kids. He had been into the Dr's office recently and diagnosed with an ear infection. After 4 kids that is nothing out of the ordinary. The next youngest had been in last week and he has a phlegmy cough plus a nice case of Pinkeye. He has been taking cold medicene and eye drops for the last week. Anyways, back to the youngest, The Wife went to see about getting him into the Dr's today, as the past 2-3 days his temp has spiked upwards of 103.5, and Motrin/Tylenol weren't working as good as they usually do. Doc wasn't in today, but by phone arranged for him to be taken to the ER. There they have drawn blood, found both ears now infected, IV'ed him liquids as he hasn't been drinking enough the last 24 hours, and x-rays. I am sure I am leaving out a few other tests they might have done. The doc there had said they are waiting results from some tests before they move to the next step. It's possible he has come down with pneumonia (as he has had a cough the last few days as well) but they are not sure yet. I let the Wife know to call me with any more important updates, or if they finally figure out what is going on, and let me know what they plan to do. My day is only half way over and now this shit on top of it.
Welp, have a good thought/prayer for my boys unitl I find out more.

Oh my goodness! Check this out!
Just when you thought it was real ...
I probably am no longer the wonderful Mr. Nasty I thought I was. I walked into the bar last night, and the first person to jump up and greet me (like that always happens) was the old guy behind the bar the other night that called me nasty. Profusely he apologized, and I thought he was going to try to buy my forgiveness too, from the way he was acting. Seems he apologized to the others that were sitting with me that night. Seems he thought we were talking about another patron of the bar, but he was completely wrong. Amazing how alcohol can confuse you to that degree.... So, I wonder if my new title still fits. I'll have to wait until tonight and see how "nasty" drunk I get I guess.
I received an e-mail from my mother about a week ago or so. Seems my Uncle Larry wants us all to do a 5-7 day Caribbean cruise as a family. We are talking, his family, my sister's family, my brother's family, my 2 cousin's families, Reverend Mother & Step dad, my family, and the possibility of any other relatives want to go. In other words, a floating redneck reunion. I mistakenly read it to mean this year, so whilst talking to the Reverend Mother about it I said we were not going. She is determined to get us to go since she corrected me and said it is for 2008. I still think we are not going. After all, we have to pay our own way to the cruise ship, plus our own package deal (whatever Uncle Larry is able to get), plus spending money. It would be nice to have a week vacation like that, but not necessarily with my kids along. And who wants to be stuck with family for a week? That's why reunions usually only last a day, maybe a weekend long. Yeah, I am jumping for joy about this whole trip. Plus I was told we wouldn't HAVE to be around other family if we didn't want to be. What's the purpose in going on the damn trip then?!? Nope. I cannot see myself going. Floating Redneck Cruise ship Reunion. I would probably laugh at all the pictures they take though. I guess I 'll have to wait a year or so to see them.
Time to get cracking into the desk job. I see I have a few faxes come in that I should take care of. Y'all have a good day and talk at ya later!

RED ALERT !! CONTAGION !! RED ALERT !!
My goodness gracious! It has finally happened! After days of hoping it would not, the end result has still come about. Freddie is rubbing off on me. I was all prepared to sit down and capture your attention with pieces of my intellect, my encounters in the world - BUT! I logged in and drew a big, fatty blank. Nope, no slight pencil erase marks. No 'almost grasping' an idea. Straight up blank.
Normally when I get blanked like this I do some stupid personal test, or answer some kind of Meme thingy. But I am getting to the point, if I share more about my inner self, it will scare off the 10 hits a day I get here, and 4 of those actually read something. The others are just here for the Granny midget porn (sorry! no pics!). If I were Eric, I could spend time describing how beautiful it looks in the backyard, except, I am at work, and my backyard looks like a tornado hit it.
Okay, I have sat here staring at the screen for too long now. I have nothing coming to mind. In fact, I keep distracting myself with those inner voices. Definately not going to get anything done that way! Y'all take care, and we'll see ya later.

I have been given a "Name"
Wow, what a long weekend. At least it seemed that way to me. I am almost happy to be back at work ... I may regret that phrase later.
Sunday was awesome if not the longest day of the weekend. My day started off at 7:30am when I got up to go to the Church of Holy Beer and Softball. The team was having a practice, and though I don;t play, I hang out, heckle, and drink the beer. Our "new" coach decided he couldn't make it. Seems his son, on his wa down from Colorado, had some car problems, and Dad had o drive up to Utah to meet him and help out. I don't know what all was involved, but I heard somethign about 2 tires being flat - not necessarily at the same time. So after the ball park, it's time for the bar to open so up we go. The Race didn't start until about 1:30 so I had lots of time to kill, and I know I killed many drinks in htat period. Judy had made cookies as she had promised, and DAMN were they good. I was nice and even shared some.
Jimmie Johnson was the driver I had in the pool this week, and I won 1st place! Woo HOO! Then as I was killing what I was hoping to be the last drinks I would be having, and an old guy that helps do some of the dishes behind the bar starts yelling at me and ends up saying someting about how I am "nasty". I am having a good time... hell, I ran with it. I saying "See, I now have been given a name since no one includes me in their rumors, and nobody speaks behind my back, my name now is Mr. Nasty!!!" Yeah, that fun lasted about 5 minutes. I still don't know what I said to piss that guy off, but I wish I could so I could do it again!
I wonder if I should go back there tonight...after all I kow he will be there... Hmmm..... Well, while I think about it, y'all have a good one. Go help Freddie out with her dilemma - give her some good topic to write about.

Friday - at last!
What a day today! I have been busy like I have never been since I walked into work this morning. I even worked through lunch! Gosh that is nice to be busy like that again! And my paychecks will start liking it too!
So last night, I decided I was going to get tanked. I was out til about 10:30 and realized I hadn't even caught the regular buzz I have when drinking. Since it wasn't working, I went on home, popped in "Field of Dreams" and then went to bed. Exciting life I lead. I had some freaky-ass dreams though, of supposed relatives and friends of my Dad's that I had never met. Now THAT was weird.
No major plans this weekend. I have a friend making cookies for me, though, so I get to have them on Sunday! She said that they were being made for my buddies as well, and I tried to convince her that they didn't deserve any. I said I would trade them a cookie for a shot on Sunday. Wonder if they'll go for it. Probably not. Oh well, I still get home made cookies.
I'm off to read a few blogs that I haven't had the chance to do for a couple days. Y'all have a good weekend, and I am sure we will be back next week, if not before!!
