Its been a busy weekend.

Saturday morning we had a tall game at 9am. Carie was working so I had to go it alone again with coaching the team and watching Logan. Team played well. They all hit awesome, and are starting to make an out or 2 each inning among the other team’s batters. We played the Braves and they had only 9 players show up so that made the game go quicker. After the game, went to Target to get dog food among other things. Just got back from taking Julia to the playground. Believe it or not, she is asleep in her room right now. Feel asleep while watching Lizzie McGuire. Going to supermarket later to pick up some Lean Cuisines for lunch next week since they are on sale. Afterwards, will sit on reared and watch some TV.

Sunday I plan on taking a bike ride with Julia, a walk with the family around the block, watching the race and sitting on rear again.

Exciting, huh?

Hamsters VS Game boys

BTW, I just won a nice little battle with Julia today without her even realizing it to argue. We were sitting at home watching King Pin this afternoon and she told me that she wished that she had a GameBoy. I guess that a lot of kids at her daycare have them and she plays it a lot there. I told her that she could use her allowance money to get a GameBoy instead of a Hamster. Much too my delight, she agreed!!! WooHoo!!!!! She has about $45 saved up right now and I am making up a chores list for her for the next 2 weeks. I told her that if she does all of her chores in the next 2 weeks, when I get paid she should have enough money that we can go and get her a GameBoy and I would buy her a game or 2. Still can’t believe that she gave up on wanting a hamster so easily over a GameBoy. I am glad, because I don’t want a hamster!

Getting’ Old

Startin’ to feel my age. After playing a double-header last night and teaching 3 kiddie sports classes this morning, I am having a hard time moving around. I have lost 7 lbs. since Easter, and I have at least another 20 to go. Losing the weight isn’t for vanity…I am afraid my knees cannot support my weight any more. I guess 6 knee surgeries will do that to you.

Logan was really sweet today. He is really happy at Akram’s house, but when he was with me today, all he wanted to do was cuddle against me. Pretty amazing considering that the boy does not like to sit still. He thinks that his big sister is the greatest thing in the world. No one can make him laugh more than Julia. She was playing peek-a-boo with him, and not only was he laughing, he was kicking his arms and legs all around in excitement each time she would pop back up in front of him. It is funny how our family seems complete with the addition of the little guy. It is hard to remember what is was like without him here.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend. Tomorrow is my favorite day of the week…Family Day!!!

Nascar

Hey guys, I asked the Bunny Guy today about the tickets. He said the request was to be in by the 4th. He said he had some reserved but didn’t use them. He’ll check when he gets back and let me know. I told him if he couldn’t get these I wanted them for the next one. If we get to go, I’ll need copies of your drivers licenses that you have to submit for security reasons. I”m trying to get four so me, Jim and Ray could go. Mike doesn’t want to go so you guys can decide on the fourth person. He said saturday and sunday but I told him I didn’t know about both days. Let me know.

Yeah

Yeah, its Frideee! We are hoping for t-storms to rainout tonights softball game. We could not find a baby-sitter for tonight and we play at 8:30 and 9:30pm. Carie and I are both needed to make 10, so we’ll have to drag Logan and Julia to the field for the 8:30 game. At least some other teammates who are injured will be there to help watch them. Another guy is supposed to be there for the 9:30 game so that I can take the kids home then.

Picnic day

Yep, here it is picnic day again. I really look forward to this every year. I think it’s because it means the beginning of summer for me because I don’t ride a lot at the park. I just enjoy being with the family and seeing them have fun. When it rains its still the pits though. Still didn’t hear from the Bunny guy about the tickets. Maybe me and Jim write the most because we are the biggest BULLPOOPERS in the family. Oh I mean he is. Ienjoyed when everyone wrote too. Talk to yins on sundee after the picnic. hang on to your a_s Fred.

PS Mike and Heather washed everyones cars on thursdee and cleaned up the driveway and cut the grass. I’m kind of like-ing this

Manly Man

I feel like such a man right now. SOMEONE, who shall remain nameless, clogged up the toliet a few days ago in our master bathroom. Usually, on the rarity that this happens, the plunger does the trick. But, not this time. So when Julia and I were at Lowes yesterday to get Carie some flowers for the deck for Mother’s Day I picked up a little hand toliet snake. This morning, I went to work. After taking about 10 minutes to figure out how to get it out of the package :-) , I stuck it into the toliet and snaked it thru the pipes. I pulled it out, flushed the toliet and VIOLA it was unclogged!! My testosterone is running mighty high right now! I’m ready to go out and rebuild a car engine or something.

On a related note, I went to take Julia biking yesterday at the park. When I got my bike out of the back of the truck, I noticed that the chain was off, but not in a normal way. The front end and back end of the chain were off their sprokets and the chain had a knot in the middle. I tried to fix it, but as ya’ll guessed it, to no avail. So, Julia and I ended up just taking a walk and going over to the playground. Carie is going to take a look at it and see if she can fix it,

sat and sun

Sat. Instead of going with the fam to kennywood yesterday, me and heather decided we would go another day. Instead we went up to cranberry to the krispycreme place. I was able to find it all by myself! Their fresh doughnuts are so good!! we then proceeded to the petco to look around and over to the family dollar. The family dollar in cranberry has everything, they even have namebrand frozen foods! I was in heaven. We got some stuff from there and came home. There was an edition to the every night routine of mom and dad (who, 5 days a week, can be seen in the same spot in the living room from the hours of 7-9:30 till dad goes to bed shorlty followed by mom). Donna was here and they were watching a movie. Me and heather went on the porch to color and they followed us out there after their movie finished. We had some good laughs then donna left and mom and dad went to bed.

Sunday i went to giant eagle to get mom a card but they were mobbed so i went to the hallmark by k mart. I walked in and it was filled with guys doing their last minute shopping..I don’t know why guys always wait till the last minute to do that kind of stuff. I’m so different from them.

No Credit Check Loans

Everyone needs money does not always have the best credit. Fortunately, there are loans for bad credit and just about anyone can get them. If you find you are in a position where you really need money, you owe it to yourself to at least see them. The Internet offers many opportunities to get the money you need without a lot of trouble.

Bad Credit Loans longer claim a higher interest rate than traditional loans. That is because those with poor credit are considered more of a risk in repaying Loans. The positive side is that someone is willing to lend you money. In many cases, the lender will report your activity to credit bureaus. If you pay the borrowed money in time, which can help improve your credit score and help you in getting lower interest loans in the future.

There are different types of bad credit loans. Secured No Credit Check Loans usually have a lower interest rate because you have some assurance that they will be taken by the lender if you fail to pay the loan back on time. Credit unsecured loans have a higher rate because there is more risk for the lender.
