God Is Good All The Time!!

Bad Blogger

Wow, I have not been a very good blogger. Not that many people outside of my wife and mother-in-law pay much attention to my blog anyway. I have been out of town much of the last 7 weeks for business. I can't stand being gone now...I miss life at home way too much. I find myself sleeping only a hour here and there throughout the night, simply because my wife isn't right beside me. Hopefully, that is pretty much over with and I won't have to stay overnight anywhere for a long time.

I took last Thursday off work, as did Liz. Liz had a doctor appointment at 10:30, then after that we were going to the fair. We had a little incident in finding our Disney on Ice tickets for the evening, so after the doctor visit we had to go back to the house. It turned out to be a blessing because we received a call on our way back from an old daycare parent. She was extremely, extremely sick and desperately needed someone to care for her child for what turned out to be 2 nights.

Liz and I were glad that we could help...the lady's friends and family all live in Tulsa. We were definitely glad to help and figured it was the Lord's plan for us to come back home for those tickets. We picked him up from his current daycare provider and took him with us to the fair.

We had a blast at the fair...Addy called it "the best day of her life!". Liz and I haven't been in about 7 years. Addy got her picture taken while holding a 6 week old white tiger...and also while riding a camel. We got to see and do so much...plus, we helped ourselves in the fair food department. We were out there from like 1:00pm - 6:30pm...after that we went inside for the Disney on Ice show.

We waited in line and got up to the door...just to be told that we had to check all strollers into the white tent (we had one for the kid we were watching). After that, we finally made it back through the line and to our seats. Addy screamed at times, and she sang along with the songs...it was worth the cost of the tickets for her to have such a good time. Right near the end, I told Liz that I was going to get his stroller before the rush. I timed that about right, because right after I got his a mass of people started pouring out of the building.

I thought we were ahead of the game by doing so...we got to the car and pulled out of the parking spot at 9:15pm...we made it out of the parking lot at 11:20pm. It was FREAKIN' ridiculous! People getting out of their cars, yelling, honking, and even people getting out to write another car's license plate number. At least we had some entertainment during a 2 hour fiasco. It was just ridiculous that people are so impatient and think that cutting other people off is going to get them that much further ahead. If everyone would just be patient and wait their turn, it would go amazingly faster.

We made it home around midnight and got everyone to bed. It was really a fun day, especially with all the missed family time while I was gone...it was real nice.
