Adventures in Daddyland: April 2005

Getting a new computer

Well, the computer we got a month ago is a piece of crapola. I didn't look closely enough at it before we got it because we were in a hurry.

Anyway, I'm getting rid of it today. That means a few days without one while I take my time to replace it.

This will just give us a chance to talk over the phone for a change anyway. Besides, the pics will still be here when you need to take a peek.

Saturday! Saturday! Saturday!

Don't eat the fish if it is bigger than you are and it came out of a river.

The salmon sure are big around here.

Saturday, we went to a new park in Richland to have lunch and play around for a few hours.

Now that Robin has her own car, we can go to the park during the day.

Already trying to drive.

"Am I going to hit Daddy?"

We sat on this dock for an hour as the girls watched boats and ducks go by.

Chloe shows me her new leaf.

Running into the playground.

Chloe looks outside, while Mikayla spins around to tell Daddy about the view.

I finally have the beginnings of a Star Wars room.

Another angle.

The Sith watches over the unsuspecting Jedi.

Bob hangs out with some action figures.

Yes, that is a phaser sitting on the desk. Yes that is a light saber next to the filing cabinet.

This is my office

Well, Robin has more interesting things to do during the day than I do. My office is still nicer.

It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood, a beautiful day to be neighbors... Won't you be mine? Won't you be mine??? I've always wanted to have a neighbor JUST LIKE YOU...

I'm not real sure what's in there, but I think it's more dangerous than Saddam's arsenal ever was.

I Lost More Than An Hour

So we sprang forward this past weekend. Instead of making it to church, I slept until 1:00 in the afternoon.

I went to bed at around Midnight, so I should have been able to make the 11:00 service, but I had a really bad dream at 4:30. So bad that it woke me up, jumping to my feet.

Aliens were trying to take my little girls.

I know most of you are thinking that I need to stop watching so many Sci-Fi movies before going to sleep, but Saturday we watched The Incredibles (again) and Taking Lives. The dream was pretty vivid though. I felt helpless, but kept fighting through it.

It was kind of like The Forgotten except the aliens were all female. That's why they wanted the girls, because they were female and so close in age.

I was so freaked when I woke up that I walked around the house expecting to find them (the aliens) trying to get the girls.

Of course, the girls were in bed with us at this point of the night so I walked around the house for 15 minutes for no real reason other than to calm down. I knew they were ok, but I checked all the doors anyway.

Not that aliens visiting Earth would have a problem with a locked sliding glass door.

But I still couldn't go to sleep for a long while, which messed my whole night up and caused me to sleep half the day away.
