When you get a facetime call from your daughter in the middle of a work day and the first thing you hear is your fussy 17 month old grandson.....and then he sees you on the screen and becomes the happiest little turd nugget in the world.

Spoiler alert: he's a replicant. 

More baby than baby.

Making a PB&J with only brand new components - fresh bread, room temperature jelly, and peanut butter that hasn't begun to develop that metallic taste that happens when you buy too big of a jar. At our house at least, it seems like the three ingredients are very rarely on synchronized schedules. 

Plus, as long as you are using peanut butter that comes in a plastic jar, you also get to squeeze its sides to make it poop and unpoop a few times before you make your sandwich.

I'm going to see an end user on-site tomorrow for a safety audit. As the president on my company I dont get to do this much any longer because busy.

Pretty excited, as in not really a work day because for a monent I will be able to let other worries not matter. It will approach a day off in my book.

Wife and I checked into the hospital yesterday to induce labor on our first baby. My brother had to go to Shreveport for work yesterday through Saturday.  So when he’s leaving I give him a $20 bill and instruct him to go to the roulette wheel and place a single spin bet on 32.    
 

At 1:15 this morning while I’m trying to sleep on these God-forsaken hospital couches, I get this:

$20 Down on 32.  Pays out $720!!!

Got yo money mothafucka!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and another from his co-worker to a group text with friends: 

 

This M-fer gets $20 from Trey to put on 32 and he hits. Trey if you don’t get your $720 that’s your brothers fault.

 

So I’ll be welcoming my daughter to the world at some point today, and I’ll have a lucky $720 to boot    
 

that pleases the shit out of me

Well, I’m sitting in the NICU in Temple while my wife is in recovery in Waco.   Sweet daughter has esophageal atresia and will have to have surgery in coming days.  Not the ideal thing to find out when she’s 3 hours old.  But she’s doing well outside of that.  I’m running on fumes, and mama is thankfully resting.

Congrats on becoming a father.

Hopefully it all goes well for you daughter and wife.  Legit thoughts and prayers  for you and them.  

Wife and kids health during childbirth scared the fuck out of me.  It’s a unbelievable thing when you think about it.  My wife had a bleeding issue right after our second was born.  They handed me our second and informed me of the issue saying it was, “serious” then left the room.  That was heavy duty shit for a few hours.

damn, talk about bringing back memories.

Daughter was born in April 2006. It was a difficult delivery, she was face up instead of face down, couldn't get past the pelvic bone. After 8+ hours of pushing, Doc decided she needed to have a C-section. That was done, LORD do NOT ever look past the curtain. 10 pm.

After they both are brought into the room, my wife is paler than normal (ginger) Doc checks and sees that there is still bleeding, and doesn't seem to be stopping. They wheel her back into the operating room, leaving me with our hours old daughter. For a couple hours, I'm sitting there alone with a newborn, wondering what to do if the worst happens. Eventually they wheel her back into the room, saying that by the time they opened her up again and looked, the bleeding had stopped. oh and of course, she had some issues with the anesthesia, which caused them to leave her in recovery a little longer.

I'm truly glad everything turned out okay for y'all.  It amazes me sometimes how difficult and dangerous human childbirth can be.  The pain, the intense long labor, and all of the health risks.  

 

Then there are these asshole seahorses who just say "screw it" and shoot thousands of kids out of their blowhole in seconds.  Nature is weird.

I changed jobs about 6 months ago. After putting up with stupid shit from a stupid asshole for the better part of four years, I'd had enough.

I now have a better job, with better co-workers,  better management, and better pay. The commute is 30 miles vs. 7, but it's worth it.

Getting to the point: every so often I'll get an urge to google my former employer and read some reviews, like I did this morning. 

Six new bad ones, no good ones. People complaining about everything from dude's condescending attitude and comments, to the bills he hits them with. Followed by him commenting back in a defensive manner, followed by another bad review, singling out him and his shitty attitude.

This pleases me immensely.

Heated towel rack, and heated bathroom floor

 

All I need is heated toilet seat to complete the trifecta

Yes, the heated towel rack is among life’s great pleasures. Installed one when we built this house 5 years ago, and wonder how I got along for so long without it.

This now provides me the same feeling that a fresh carton of Marlboro Reds once did back in the day.

Goddamn...I can remember when I used to smoke there was nothing better than a real Marlboro Red. It was like drinking a Coke. It was fantastic.

(although Reds are a good cigarette - just not a fan of higher nic smokes)
