Umm Oww....

I am sore as hell right now. All week we had spring weather and it was awesome.

Then Friday came and about a foot of snow came with it. I left work about 20 minutes early on Friday and renewed my license and got a haircut. When I got home at about 2:30 there was about 3 inches of snow down.

I figured I would take care of it real quick and shoveled the driveway.

No worries. The snow was pretty light and I was done in about 30 minutes.

It kept snowing. I became a little bit of snow and rain.

I'm not a fan of that. So it snowed all night and I went to bed.

I woke up to my phone ringing at about 10 am. My parents had my son for a few days and were on their way up.

That gave me 90 minutes to re-shovel the driveway. It was all ice now so this was really cutting it to the wire.

I can fit 9 cars in my driveway. This sucked. The snow/ice weighed so fucking much.

My back is killing me. It took me about 45 minutes just to get across my driveway opening. I finally decided just to shovel out a space that would fit my folks car and worked on a walkway to my door.

So my driveway was half shoveled and it looked awful. I didn't care. My back was killing me and I was really tired all weekend anyway.

Yesterday I took the boy in the backyard with his new sled and we played for about 30 minutes. I don't have snow boots and was wearing 3 year old Vans sneakers with rips in the rubber. These rips filled up with snow and that just plain sucked.

I love snow but am so ill prepared to play in it. This hasn't been a problem since I am in my 30's and playing in the snow hasn't really been in vogue for about 15 years or so.

Since having the boy I clearly need to re-evaluate this.

My father in law came over yesterday too and gave me his snowblower.

SCORE.

This took care of the rest of my driveway in about 10 minutes.

He is never getting it back. I don't care what he says. It's mine now.

Today the skunk guys are coming to my house to get rid of my black and white friends.

It only took about 400 dollars.

I'm not bitter about that at all.

My wife got a treadmill for Christmas and like all of my wife's fads, it has faded. I however am loving it. I almost did 4 miles in an hour and was able to maintain a full jog for the last 15 minutes.

I am quite pleased with myself.

Oh so Andrew quit. He got to the UK on a Saturday and bought cigarettes, a burger and a toothbrush.

He saw how much it cost and decided it was too expensive to live there.

Hey at least my company didn't pay for his visa, his plane ticket and 3 months rent to ge thim there right?

Oh wait they did.

This was just an excuse to not stay in the UK. He said he would go without checking with his girlfriend. He sent me an IM asking if I knew if anyone was hiring.

I told him there was an opening in our UK office.

I don't think he got the joke.

Sorry this blog was so scattered and not funny at all. It's been a busy few weeks and like I said I am sore. I am also tired.

The second boy is a day closer to keeping me up nights, but he and the wife are healthy so that is good.

Until next time.
