A bunch of white crap is expected.
All sorts of crap are expected. 
Went to take a shower after last nights run and found that the toilet had overflowed....yuck
. At least no floaters escaped, still what a mess to mop up
. Lets just say that afterwards lots of Clorox was applied to the tile surfaces. At least the run was good
Enjoying a most excellent cup of coffee this fine morning

Good Morning!!
Rain, rain, rain.....commute sucked. People.
Any of you fine folks have kids on ADD meds? We've resisted for a few years now, but getting the kid to focus is like herding cats. It's just getting worse. He's a brilliant kid, and can hone in on the things that he likes, but really, really tunes out the stuff he doesn't - sounds like me, I think....I dunno, I got distracted by something shiny...

Baby girl is sick. Threw up all over me at bedtime last night. Woke up early throwing up again, tho not as much. Not sure if a stomach bug, but she is very congested and coughing a lot, which triggered the vomiting last night. She's currently asleep on me in the recliner.
Yeah, I hear you. I really do. We keep battling the same cycle every school year. Start with great hopes...then it eventually devolves into parent-teacher conferences with principal, counselor, etc....not from bad behavior or hyperactivity...he's just distracted by everything on the planet other than what he's supposed to be doing. We've done everything we can to help him focus, and he's just not able to pull it off yet. We're very resistant to any pharma, and have fought it tooth and nail, but we're really seriously considering giving it a try. If the reaction is bad, then we can just stop it and deal with the fallout, but we gotta do what we can to help him succeed.
I used to take meds for it, i dont remember which one but if i heard the name, id know it. They worked but they made me so damn tired all the time that i stopped taking them. YMMV.

Don't dope the kid. He is smart and bored by the mundane. He just needs higher mental challenges than are being offered. I was the same way. A grades in the hard stuff barely passing in the lame classes..
Dude....me too. He's exactly like me, the only difference is that we didn't have a name for it when I was growing up. It was simply "Son, you need to do better or we're taking everything away from you and I'm going to whip the shit out of your ass every day until you improve." It wasn't the best of parenting resolutions, but I certainly developed a coping mechanism to focus from that statement on out. Of course, back then there were only 3 television stations and Atari had just come out, so I did a lot of reading growing up, which I think did a bunch to help me.
eating breakfast did not adjust help with being hangry 
Got home around 9 last night. Showered, took a Tylenol PM, and sacked out. Woke up 8:30 and staggered down to the local coffee hole. I am fucking wiped out. Guessing not much will get accomplished today. My back is a wreck. We had to take a rental truck up to Aspen because the Dodge is out for a fuel pump. Brand New F150. That truck was a pile. Gutless, spongy handling, and oh my God, did the seats suck. And short beds, just why?
Edit: .and! I should be skiing but instead am stuck at home because wife has school/teacher vs. crazy mom stuff today.

There is going to be almost no one at work for the next 3 days. Not sure why i have to be here, i get paid weather i am or not.
shortbed and no cab = filth
shortbeds are closing in on pointless as well
Fun fact. Food poisoning isn't really a "food" issue but probably norovirus or rotavirus. Most likely from indirect contact with someone who didn't wash their hands after taking a dump.
Get better, and wash your hands.
so ANOTHER one of my coworkers got a DUI on Sunday. She only blew a .09...but she had a 1/2 gram of coke in her pocket. Whoops. I blame the restaurant industry.
A short bed is a go kart disguised as a truck. A crew cab is a station wagon disguised as a truck. Pickup trucks, in general, suck.
Heat the house with wood, start a firewood company. Make the kid chop all the wood.
Doing updated budget for house renovation. Hot damn its expensive. We are basically redoing the whole house at least the top two floors plus new roof and windows.
Morning Monkeys.
Going to be a less than stellar day, but I will be taking the pooch to the bmx track, so there is that to look forward to. The cd drive in my desktop was refusing to open. I got tired of using a paperclip, so I found one on ebay for $5. Now this botch won't open, I think there is something funky with the faceplate. Also the one I got, while the correct model number, came with a funky fascia for a laptop. WTF.

Well we have been here
The birch tree and bush is gone too but the replaced with another tree and the bush will grow back.
We moved in July 1st so we have had a good amount of time to test the house in both summer and winter and which for sure has enabled us to make some better decisions. Its an very nice house build in 1929 and we are trying to keep the house as original as possible and making few changes. Only changes is converting two closets into the show in the bath, making the two kids rooms larger and opening op between kitchen and dining room. House is run down so we with water coming through the roof, original windows and old electric and plumbing so we have to do something.

my bongshed construction as a service company just opened up a EMEA office.
The most major and disruptive projects I have gotten into have tended to start with roof leaks... Oh, look, the sill's rotted...Well we have been here

You're so weird....not like in a touching yourself while calling into muscular dystrophy telethon kind of way, but....in a funny weird kind of way.
I will take the wood chopping thing into serious consideration.
Good god does this statement ever hit home....I said that last week. Sh*t.
Thanks, we really love it too and once we are done its going to be super nice. Its really a dream come through. Now that I finally have a basement and a work space I have found my next goal. Indoor bike washing station in the basement so I don't have to be outside in the cold washing my bike its a muddy wet country and I ride all year so there is a lot of bike washing going on.
was thinking of going fatbiking tonight. snow is currently falling. "they" are predicting about 4". I might bail on fatbiking and go skiing instead.
