been a few hectic weeks now. still trying to get into a rhythm with Lani gone. been spending some good time together though. Robbie and I went fishing for the first time last weekend. Bug really wanted to throw rocks in the water. he doesn't understand about scaring the fish off, but he still enjoyed it. i did catch a rock bass though. just a small mouth bass that feeds off the trash in the water. i would have took some pictures but i forgot the camera. need to start keeping the camera with me just to take pics, but never remember it till it too late. been really stressed lately, got a problem with my pills i need to take everyday. i been out for 2 weeks now, and now i know why I'm supposed to take it. i get really moody. been like that for a while now. of course with everything going on its not helping. i finally think i got the smoking habit kicked, been without for 10 days now, and it seems to be getting easier. been having some problems at work too but nothing that i can fix. hope things change soon. today we had a string of thunderstorms come through the area. the news is saying a minor tornado hit down about 30 miles from here. we had lots of high winds and lots of rain here in Carthage with power lines and trees down. lost power here at the house for a few hours as far as i can tell. this weekend i think Robbie and i are going to go fishing again, plus we are going to go look at air conditioner units. its been in the 90's here and our house gets hot. i figure out i can get one small unit per floor and that should keep us pretty cool. TV been bad lately with reruns. didn't even know the seasons ended so i guess i will just watch movies. Been able to chat with my love just about everyday, so that's been good. not able to talk as much as i would like but what can i do.cant wait till she comes home. i never understood how much she did and does around the house and in our family, and i sure miss her.

other than that i guess we are moving along as well as we can. Robbie is doing really well in school (daycare with school classes). i figure that at the rate he is going he will probably start school in about the 10th grade. LOL. He sure is a smart little guy. he is starting to make up stories on his own to pics he sees. now if i could just get him to start cleaning up his toys after he is done playing with them, would make my life a little easier. but he is only 3 so i guess that goes with the territory. I'm taking him to see the Doodlebops in a few weeks. its a kids show in Disney channel that he likes along with Thomas the train and Bob the Builder. he watches Bob so much he can sing the theme song and knows the names of every character. he watches a bob at least everyday.

More later this weekend after we go fishing again. he is getting pretty good at casting but don't want to do it with the bait on the hook. guess the worms scare him. cant wait till he catches his first fish. he going to be so excited.

have a great week and talk to you later
