halloween

well halloween is just about over. we just got home from trick or treating with our son. he dressed up as elmo and was so cute. we just finished checking out and sorting his candy. like most adults we took out the things he will not eat and the ones that are too chewy and sticky for his little 3 year old teeth. then we put those aside for my wife to take to work with her for her students. it ended up being a great night weather wise for halloween which was real nice. hope you all had a great time too

saturday in the park

well it is saturday again and i have the day off from work. my son is going to a birthday party at noon with my sister-in-law and will be gone for a few hours. my wife is taking the mtel teacher certification test today. this means i have some time to myself to get some projects around the house done. need to start getting things ready for winter, like covering the built in air conditioner and putting plastic insulation covering over the windows, need to stop the cold air drafts.

hey does anyone out there play zyngo poker on facebook. it's pretty good, better than other poker sites i have found because people actually play like it is real money. on other sites i have found that people play like they don't care because they can get more free chips whenever they want so it does not matter. at this one, you either have to win them, buy them, or get lucky enough to have a friend gift you some. so they are harder to come by and you play more like it is real money. it is fun because i like to play poker and cannot afford to go to foxwoods and play for real like i used to do when i was single. oh well that's life, not some fairy tale.

a night at home with family

my wife's cousin's girlfriend/almost fiancee came over tonight. she is in college, going to assumption college in worcester. she is considering a career in law and does an internship at a law office. she is a really nice sweet girl and we love having her come over anytime. we actually love having both her and her boyfriend, my wife's cousin come over. they are great to hang out with and they love to come over for a home cooked meal instead of having the cafitera food at school. well getting late for our son so got to go and get him to bed. night all

day off

I took today off from work to be able to go to my son's halloween party at his pre-school/day care. it was great to see him in his costume, elmo, and playing with the other kids there. he looked so cute. i was the only parent there who dressed up, i was a cowboy, the other parents were kind of lame to not dress up for their kids. i took a lot of pictures to share with my wife who could not get the day off. we will both be with him on saturday night to go trick or treating with him though. had some time to myself today, we have some company coming tonight so i will make sure the house is clean and presentable for guests, even if it is just family coming over lol. update more later...

some more general comments

another day in paridise here. home life is great. i love my wife and son with all of my heart. the problem is that i worry every day about being able to give them what they deserve. money is always tight and at this point i should not be having to live basically paycheck to paycheck worrying about not being able do the little extras in life. all i ask for is to be comfortable, having enough to go away for a nice vacation once in a while without having to worry will it break the bank and i won't be able to pay the bills on time. but that's life, the real world i live in, and hopefully some day i will have the money to give my family everything...

that's life not some fairy tale

hi all
just some general comments on real life here. why does it have to be that everytime you start getting ahead something comes along and kicks you in the butt. like you just get done paying off your car and then your family's second car kicks the bucket and now you need to go out and spend the money you would be able to save on another car. what's up with that? or you have a boss you like then your company does some restructuring and you end up with a new one who you do not get along with. we all wonder when will life get easier and we will start to be able to get ahead. granted i would like to hit the lottery and get rich quick, but i am also a realist and realize i need to keep working hard and stay the path and some time in the future i will be rewarded for all of my hard work. how long will it take for that day to come?
