    Copper Creek Chit Chat, Part #4

    Good morning all. We finally all got home and settled down at about 8:00 last night. Once we got the kids ready for bed, it was about 9:15. Mrs E put on an episode of Lost, which is the one "our" show that we watch together. The next thing I remember, she's asking "James! Are you even...

    I've done it before. But only on days that I didnt have anything going on. You know... like in 2002... It actually wont be too bad. Even though it's a lot going on, since the wifey is home, I feel like it's amazingly simple! I only have to handle half of it!

    Good morning everyone. Yet another near sleepless night. Naturally, the kids were afflicted with a serious case of the dumba$$ yesterday. All three of them. After one day at grandma's, CJ forgot how to show respect and use manners. I dont know what the girls' problem was, but it was just as...

    Dont worry. I wouldnt envy me either! And it's time to say adios mi amigas. I hope you all have a wonderful day. Time to get in a hot car with no a/c but with the best exhaust note of any car I've ever owned which negates the need and desire to turn on the radio. :)

    Me too... Even though my house still smells like chemicals right now. Blech. All the more reason to go to the gym... Then I get to put mattress encasements on three mattress and one set of box springs. I'm debating if I want to put the wall plates back over outlets and switches since they're...

    Thats a lottttttt of teens to test. Looking at numbers like that, I think we can all agree that its a good thing your putting in for your retirement. Is that 9 for 9 pass, or 9 for 9 fail?

    Yeah, this was bad... Bugs dont bother me. As long as theyre outside. They live outside. I live inside. If it stays like that, I'm cool. Bugs inside...no. Ever. It really was nightmarish. After we treated everything ourselves and let the kids sleep in their beds again, I went to check on...

    Exterminators are done doing their thing for round 1. He said he would treat the bunk beds as best he could, but they might need to get thrown away. I said screw that. If it comes down to it, we'll just use some joint compound and seal off all the cracks, crevasses, creases, and seams, then...

    Well folks, it's that time of day again. Too much going on with the kids to even get to the gym this evening. I have to go home, pick up Melanie since Mrs E has to be at work by 5. Then go to the middle school to pick Kat up from volleyball conditioning/practice. Get home, fix dinner, and be...

    When I do them like that, I don't sauce them. I let the folks eating them use their sauces to dip. When done like that, they are really good "naked".

    I've had about all the fun I can handle today. Time to get home, change clothes, and take Kat to practice and drag the other two with me. The fun never stops. Tiff! I did the math today... Since I actually started losing weight, I've lost just a smidge over 70 pounds! Granted, only 30 of...
