Kids Say The Funniest Things!

My eight year old was in the shower for over 15 minutes. I cracked the door and asked what she was doing. "I'm putting conditioner in my hair, Dad!(ugg)" she said disgusted. "Did you wash your arm pits?"... "YES! Dad!"... "Did you wash your knee pitts?" I said trying to be funny. "YES!!!" she said, hatefully, knowing I was playing. "Did you wash behind your ears?" ...."YES DAD I DID!" sounding annoyed and frustrated. I then asked, "Did you wash behind your hinney?"
She promptly said, "YES!...umm, wait, what do you mean? The wall or the faucet?"

Baby Hippo Adopted by Tortoise After Tsunami?

NAIROBI (AFP) - A baby hippopotamus that survived the tsunami waves on the Kenyan coast has formed a strong bond with a giant male century-old tortoise, in an animal facility in the port city of Mombassa, officials said.
The hippopotamus, nicknamed Owen and weighing about 300 kilograms (650 pounds), was swept down Sabaki River into the Indian Ocean, then forced back to shore when tsunami waves struck the Kenyan coast on December 26, before wildlife rangers rescued him. "It is incredible. A-less-than-a-year-old hippo has adopted a male tortoise, about a century old, and the tortoise seems to be very happy with being a 'mother'," ecologist Paula Kahumbu, who is in charge of Lafarge Park, told AFP.
"After it was swept and lost its mother, the hippo was traumatized. It had to look for something to be a surrogate mother. Fortunately, it landed on the tortoise and established a strong bond. They swim, eat and sleep together," the ecologist added. "The hippo follows the tortoise exactly the way it follows its mother. If somebody approaches the tortoise, the hippo becomes aggressive, as if protecting its biological mother," Kahumbu added.
"The hippo is a young baby, he was left at a very tender age and by nature, hippos are social animals that like to stay with their mothers for four years," he explained.

Hard Couple of Weeks But Think I Can Finally Get Shit Done!

Had a very hard week! It all started with Saturday of this passed weekend. Got called in at 2pm and took an hour to get things running again. Then at 2am on sunday was back at the hospital. Working with techsupport over the phone I finally got some positive responce about 6am (that our shit quit working). Home again with my daughter so that my wife could go to work. Got Tyla to a friends house and back to the hospital from 9am to 2pm. Still could not get the stupid piece of junk working. Back home for a short nap and several more phone calls. Ugg. I was dead ass tired. THEN, the guy shows up about 11pm on Sunday night. There till 2 or so and I am beond dead! We get the POS server going! FINALLY!

Spent most of THIS week on the phone trying to get all the people to call me back that has not (or would not) call over the passed couple of weeks. (TIP: E-mails do not work as effectively as phone calls do) I have got another piece of equipment that is not working and has to wait till Monday to get here! So many people are pissed... but what can I do?..........

So hopefully this weekend I can finally get the shit done at the house that needs to be done! "Clean" is a good thing, In and OUT!

I Hate Being Pregnant...

If anyone does not know yet, we are due in September. I am very excited and so is my daughter. However, I think my wife is having second thoughts..... Being pregnant is not all its cracked up to be. Having Tyla was no picknick but my wife was not near as sick, irritable, bedridden, fussy, uggg, must I go on....

I am so tired its unreal. We no longer share the house work, which includes CLEANING, cooking, laundry., cleaning, fixing, ... did I mention CLEANING? .....

Mind you, I still have to take out the trash, clean, keep up the yard, wash the dog, clean the house, minor maintance on the house and the cars and... and ...and.... shall I say ugg agian!?! WAIT I still have to go to work! ........ ugg! To hell with that, F%$#@ .

OK Wait! I AM the man of the house and I WILL and CAN take on what is given to me!!

Thanks for letting me rant!

Its Been a While...

Thanks for reading my post....umm... (Anna!) I have not posted in a while but thought I should.

I have a very big (or I guess its a small) complaint. I went to Bells and WalMart today to get slacks for work. Both said they do not have my size. What the hell is up with that?

They both think that if you are fat...(please take no offence) you must be tall and if you have a 29 or 30 inch waist you are short. They only offer 40X36 ......or 30X30.........what the hell?

People!... get real. I am not the only person in town that is thin and tall. My Goodness....please!

Why do I have to go some where else to get cloths that fit? Thank you Fort Stockton! I will have spend my money in Odessa or Midland just to get what I need! wait....forgot that I can go on line and spend my money in some other state like Alaska.... yeah! they make great pants.

But wait, I must go to Mexico to get what I want...

CRAP, I can't...I am gonna have to go to Japan.

Damn it!
