Hi Mom!

It’s a universal greeting and sign you see at most sporting events. And its as good a time as ever to salute all the great moms out there.

We had a very nice Mother’s Day here at the house. Zachary and I helped cook Rebecca breakfast in bed, which she really liked. Later I helped to coordinate dinner for Rebecca and her mom here at the house. A good time was had by all.

Rebecca is a wonderful and loving mother, and we all try to make sure she knows she is a special mom all 365 days of the year. That said, it felt good to try to up the ante for her today.

I also wanted to send a quick shout out to my mother, Jean, up in PA. She busted her hump to make sure my brother and I turned out fine, and I like to think she aced that exam. I'm very proud to be her son.

Off to finish some TV and chores before another busy week at work awaits.

Hiatus is Over

Hi! Been a while, but I’m back. Hate to use the “work is so busy I’m tired and not in the mood to blog” excuse, but for once, that is exactly what is happening. Long story short, our office has taken in a pretty large uptick in work, while having 2 people out on medical leave. However, I think there is light at the end of the tunnel, and I still bust my hump to leave on time so I can enjoy the evenings with my family. I have no issues firing up the laptop afterward to catch up. Some days wind up being an aggregate 10 hours or so, but at least I can have the flexibility of making some of it on my terms.

Anywho, had a busy weekend, which technically started on my drive home Friday when I got word Liam had a temperature of 105 and Rebecca and he were rerouted from his normal dr’s office to the Children’s Healthcare Urgent Care place. Wasted 3 hours there only to get discharged with an antibiotic for an ear infection. The doctor suggested Tylenol every 4 hours, so Rebecca and I went back into infant mode with the alarm clock. But I am proud of our secret spy efforts in giving Liam Tylenol from a syringe in the dark and not spilling a drop on the mattress. He’s feeling better now and ready to go back to school tomorrow.

Zachary has been enjoying his T-ball on Saturday mornings, and it’s been fun being a coach. It’s still a victory if we can keep all the team members on the field at the same time and not over at the see-saw or the swings. Very curious to see the team photo that they took on Saturday.

That’s about it from here. Feliz Cinco de Mayo manana!
