My how time passes when you're busy

It's almost another year in my life gone by and all I can remember about the last year has been how busy work has gotten. I've been on three business trips already, one to DC, another to Jackson, MS, and recently to Annapolis.

If I ever thought that going on business trips would be fun, those naive feelings have definitely been squashed. Every time I've had many an hour or two before having to get to bed to get up for the next day of work...ah well, maybe in the next couple of years I can get them to send me to Alaska, Brazil, or Thailand...no luck so far.

Anyway, the twins have been teething pretty badly in the last couple of months...err...actually since January and all they've got to show for it are a partial tooth (Elisabeth) and more lumps on his head (Reagan). Eli has been talking quite a bit and his favorite words to say when I yell at him or correct him in any way is for him to run to Mommy and say, "Mommy, Daddy's making noise" or "Mommy, tell Daddy to go to work and make money."
Children...what else is there to say about the little leeches?
So this year, Eli turns 3 on May 1st and the twins turn two on August 10th...

I've recently found a cool new software called Fantasy Grounds that allows me to DM or play in D&D games like the old tabletop games we used to have...so far only Paul has played, but we both seem to like it better than not having the opportunity to play together again.

Justin got in trouble a couple of months ago in school and was taken to Jouvie (sp?) hall for having sticky fingers...the bum took stuff he already had and had no reason to explain this brain fart to either myself or the judge other than "I was wondering if I could get away with it"...shows you where he is in his developmental stage...

In the next three weeks I begin intense classes (4hrs on Wed nights) weekly for then next 16 months at Indiana Wesleyan University, but that should finally get me my Bachelor's in Business Management. In the meantime, I'm supposed to get my CompTIA A+ and Network + certifications for work, as well as be on my way to get my MCSA certification within the next year. On top of that I will be online playing D&D once a week to relieve some of this stress I'm sure will be piling up.

The house is great, except for one thing that keeps bugging us, this past week has finally seen us having to put on our AC in the house and once again (the fourth) time we'll have someone come out and work on the dern thing again (and it is only 2 1/2 yrs old!). AND this past weekend we had a heck of a storm that brought us pingpong sized hail that damaged our siding and now we have 17 holes in it of various sizes...so more moeny to dish out. Ah, the joys of owning your own home...

I think that's about enough for now, I'll try to update this post in a couple of weeks. If I don't just remind me. :-) Later.
