Last night was a bit of a heart attack. First Kristen falls out of bed. Later Kara fell down the stairs. Kara has not been well - coughing like she does in the winter and she got up to take some medicine and slipped. She was not hurt too bad - probably just scared like I was. Boy I thought she had really hurt herself but when you are asleep things sound worse than they are - I guess.

That last few days have been rather productive with nothing too crazy to make me “lose it”. I really need to post to my other blog but have not thought of anything recently. Oh well. Today is another day full of QuickBooks and QuickBooks POS. Fun stuff.

First Ice Skating Fun - Then my sexy wife…

So we flew to Aunt Nini’s and Uncle Brian’s. On the return flight we got off in Nederland and went to the car and drove home. Less than an hour later Kara gets a call from her dad. He got on the plane we got off of. He saw us getting off but since we were leaving we did not go into the main part of the airport. Anyway he is talking with the stewardess about his grandchildren just getting off the plane. She says well then your granddaughter left her Barbie (we got it in the McDonalds Happy Meal). So he got the Barbie which will be traveling abroad for a few weeks. I am not sure she had her passport but she may not need one given her plastic coating. These days I would not be shocked if they did not let her on the plane.

On a different note yesterday was a good day back. Got a lot done on two websites and several other smaller things done. Very productive. Today I look forward to the same.

Midland was fun. We arrived late Thursday night and visited while the kids ran around like monkeys. Friday we went to a kids museum and Long John Silvers (yummy). Friday night we went ice skating. They kids LOVED it. Kristen did not want to leave.

Saturday we were going to go to some sort of farm with a Maze Maze. Unfortunately Amanda was not feeling well. So instead we watched Star Wars Clone Wars which Blaine really liked. After that we watched Transformers which was a good movie. Kara got back from her training and we ordered pizza. After the kids went to bed we watch the UFC fights. I watched it until about 10:30 and could not hang any more. Some of the fights were good while others were over quick.

It was a good visit. The kids got their first airplane ride and first ice skating.

Well I normally like to get prepared for the day about this time. After showering, getting dressed, reading my Bible, getting the kids lunch ready, eating breakfast, doing a load of laundry, dishes or both, I usually like to review my ToDo list and prepare for my day. Not today - today I write some non-sense.

Actually I did not see the point in preparing until I know the status of my household. Kristen was sick yesterday as was Kara. Stomach problems for them both. On a side note Ashley had stomach problems too and they sounded bad as they went the the ER. Have not heard anything since 10:15pm or so last night when they finally got a room. Anyway if Kristen is well and can go to school I have yesterday and today’s work to complete in a single day. If she is not well then I get to fall behind another day - which is no big deal these days. I have learned at least for a few days that it does not matter.

Now if Kara and Kristen are both sick and Kara decides to stay home I may get to go to work. It just depends on how everyone is feeling. Blaine and I were not affected (yet) by this stomach bug so we are counting our blessings.

I found a cool Firefox extension - Tab Group Plus - that I have been utilizing at the office. I guess since I used it a lot yesterday working remotely I wanted to share. Working from home is both good and bad I guess. Anyway I guess I will go check out everyone and see what the judges say.
