Not Cool....

As many of you know, I am a Cubs fan.  Why?  I do not have the slightest clue why I am or how I became one.  Nevertheless, I am one.  However, it drives me crazy and makes me lose respect for the team I love to cheer for when I hear such news as the latest in regards to the team.  No, not them being swept...again or playing like a lil league team, but the fact that Geovany Soto tested positive for pot.   How stupid are you?  Seriously?  You get played to play a game!     Yet in your infinite wisdom you make the brilliant decision to smoke some dope, but don't worry it is an  "isolated incident".   I just find it hard to trust pro athletes with in the past couple of years after all the steroid lies.  Perhaps it is my profession that makes me not tolerate drugs.  Do I forgive, yes.  I just do not understand why people will risk losing something they worked so hard for, just to "have fun".  Guess what.. it's illegal.  Deal with it.  Do not worry, Soto is not the only person I am irritated with this evening.  Neither MLB or the Cubs will penalize him because it is not a "performance enhancing drug".   Wow, that sends a strong message.  Next thing you know Meth and Cocaine will be fine to because they are not performance enhancing drugs.  They just kill you.  Granted, the positive test came from a random test during the WBC where he played for Puerto Rico.  In my opinion it doesn't matter.  I will end with a saying once used by the principal in Napoleon Dynomite.  "I don't know how they run things down in Puerto Rico, but up here we have a little thing called self respect"

Pardon my venting...  It was just one of those days

Yogurt?

Aunt Jenny thinks that when Max says yogurt, he is saying a bad word.  What do you think?  I say give the kid a break he is not even 2 yet.  Funny thing is when I showed Max this video clip all he says is, "uh oh...fries?"

Construction Completed

Here are some pictures of the new kitchen.  

If you can not remember the old kitchen- 

there were black cabinets, grey countertops, 

silver sink.  Some of the new additions include 

a breakfast bar and suspended lights.  Kate

 was so happy to see it when she got home 

from her trip.  Stop by and see it sometime.  

We still need to get some bar stools and finish 

up some odds and ends.  We also painted the 

master bedroom and got a new armoire, since 

Charley is taking over my closet.  

Back Onlne

So, I know it has been a long time since I posted something, but May is always busy for me.  I had at least 40 hours of overtime and then there are the daddy responsibilities.  Do not worry though, I know have some free time.  Kate went to Florida for 3-4 days to go to a hair show.  I had the kids all to myself and let me say....I do not know how single parents it.  The fact that I was also trying to remodel the kitchen every time the kids were sleeping also may have also attributed to me being worn down, but I wanted to surprise Kate.  I am going to get some pictures on here some point today.   A HUGE thanks goes to Justin, who gave an entire day to help.  It was truly  a blessing to have you help Justin and Kate absolutely loves the kitchen.  Thank you so much.   I will try to get some pictures of before on here as well, but we have a new computer now and not sure if I can find old pics of the kitchen.   So stay tuned.
