Just one of those days

So luckily the washing machine was an easy fix. I'm pretty handy but when it comes to appliances, I have a lot to learn yet. Bob came by and had it up and running in just under 30 minutes. Gotta love good neighbors. Ingrid's promised to make some of the cookies that Bob and his wife Dorris love so much. 

I had a crazy dream that my truck had been stolen. I woke up in a panic and never was able to fall back asleep. That was around 2 this afternoon. So instead of sleeping Ingrid and I went to the house we're looking at buying just to look around some more. Ingrid wanted some of her own pictures too. I only got one. 

Isn't that just beautiful 😉. And no I wasn't referring to the bathtub. 

Odd enough when we pulled up, there were people swimming in the pool and it wasn't the current owners. Weird right. All we can assume is that they're friends/neighbors of the current owners just enjoying the gorgeous day. We didn't bother them, or ask questions, just went about looking around. 

Afterwards Ingrid made some delicious breakfast burritos for supper. I'd put a recipe up but it just bacon and scrambled eggs wrapped in a tortilla. Still one of my favorite meals. Extremely simple too. 

While eating dinner I had enough time for two episodes of my favorite tv show Desperate Housewifes. I know I know, so not your typical guy but for some reason I could watch it over and over again. All 180 episodes. I might have even shed a tear after the last episode. 

Finally the moment of truth, 545 and I have to leave for work. Working nights is my too fun and for those of you who have never had to work nights, count your blessings. It brings a lot of unnecessary tension into all aspects of your life. But we must all remember 

Once again another one of daddies days, I am thinking and praying for Rylan a Lilly as I was not blessed to spend time with them today. And missing my babies Ingrid and Kaden as they're home alone while I'm at work. Wishing that I could be holding all of you on this beautiful evening. Until tomorrow morning sweet dreams to all. 

Anniversary

June 19th was our anniversary. Usually I am pretty original and on the ball when it comes to gifts and dates etc etc. this year however I really dropped the ball. So I was just exhausted this morning when I got home. I knew I'd forgot to do something. Maybe because I was drained. As soon as I walked in the door she wished me happy anniversary and the only thing I had to say was sh*t.  

Ingrid was the creative original one this year. She's made this awesome photo book with pictures throughout the past year. It was pretty neat. I loved it. You can check it out at the link below. I'm not the best with computer stuff so if it doesn't work I'm sorry

I was going to get Ingrid photo shop so she would be able to edit and print whatever photos she wants too for scrap books, pic frames etc. As stated earlier, I just completely forgot. Ingrid didn't seem to mind too much but that's still no excuse to forget an anniversary gift and miss an opportunity to make her feel that she's loved. 

After sleeping until 5ish I woke up and Ingrid had made beef stroganoff for dinner. While making small talk she was also excited that she gotten a lot done around the house today.  God love her. I'm such a lucky person the be blessed with her in my life. 

I left for work around 6p and I must say, working during the days is much easier on the family life. 

Happy anniversary Ingrid. Thank you for being you. I happily await spending many years of joy and happiness with you. For ever and ever I love you. 

The day after

Last night was my first time working overnights in a long long time. The night at work started out alright and made a gradual downhill turn. It ended up being an alright night but wow am I exhausted. With not too much sleep yesterday, I'm ready for bed at 830a. Pretty pathetic I know.  Apparently Kaden had a diaper blowout last night in the bed too but I was so tired, frankly I didn't care. I was going to bed. 

As much as society tells me drinking in the morning isn't acceptable, it's really tasting good at this time of day. I mean after working all night not necessarily 830 in the morning lol. 

My arm has been bothering me lately and I really should go to the doctor but I'm kind of thinking about saving that feat for another day. Maybe later this week once my body adjusts to the new schedule. 

Ingrid had some fresh coffee made when I got home this morning which was very thoughtful. I guess it could have been just for her. After drinking coffee all night I really wasn't in the mood. I could tell that she's already done some dishes and started laundry. Super woman I tell you. She's just amazing. 

Time to sign out as I'm dozing off while typing. Just another episode of daddies day where everything is a daze where I continue to prioritize what I can procrastinate on until tomorrow and then repeat until it gets done.  

A case of the moooooondays

This morning was rainy and gloomy when we woke up. I'm dreading the transition from day shift to night shift.  We pretty much did nothing productive until 11a or so. Our morning consisted of watching cartoons, playing with Legos and playing on the WII. Around 11 I finally got the kids in the bath while Ingrid made some lunch for us before taking the kids to their  moms around noon. 

After dropping Rylan and Lilly off, I made an attempt to get some sleep in preparation for working night shift. Although not 100% sure, I'm pretty sure I don't sleep more than 45 mins to an hr with all the tossing and turning I did. 

Having to be to work at 7, I'm up now at 540. Going to get ready for work, grab a quick bite to eat and will be on the road by 600.
