Memorial Day Weekend

The kids met a girlfriend of mine today. They've only met a few of the ladies I've seen but to be honest I've not went out with a whole bunch of women. 

 Both young'uns are moving on to the next grade, Becca to the third and Grant to the first. 

Got my new phone, a Galaxy S4 this week. Don't know how I like it yet. 

I'll write more when I feel more up to it. 

Rainy Friday Night

Becca was supposed to have a softball game this evening in Nicholasville. Oh, I have forgotten that you have no idea that Becca plays softball. This is her second year playing spring ball and she played fall ball this past fall. She played for Glory last year in the Pony Tail League and still plays for Glory on this spring she is in minor league. She really loves playing softball and she's really not half bad. If she could improve her agility and learn to swing the bat faster she would be really good. Last year she played mainly third base but this year they have her at first, catching and right field. I practically begged Grant to play T-ball this year but my boy just doesn't like sports and has no problem telling me so. He would rather play with Barbie Dolls than play catch. He's going to give it a try next year whether he wants to or not. I did have him in wrestling this past year and he was absolutely atrocious. He could not pay attention and he was totally disinterested. He wanted to quit and since he didn't even come close to even looking like he knew what he was doing or even what was being done to him I felt it was better for both of our sanity if I just let him drop it. He hated it.

    Anyway, she was supposed to have a double header against a team in Nicholasville but it got rained out and since the kids got off the bus at Mamaw & Papaw's we all decided to meet up I n Nicholasville anyway. We all had supper at Captain D's then the young'uns and I went to Walmart for some Malt-O-Meal brand Golden Graham cereal, some Malt-O-Meal brand Captain Crunch, some Great Value chocolate chip cookies, which I love and some trinkets for their mother for Mother's Day this Sunday. Then we went to Kroger for a big grocery shopping trip. I really don't enjoy shopping with them all that much because they are both at an age where they have this unique ability to slow down the progress of a shopping trip and they want something in every aisle we go down. We got it done though and now it is super late and the kids really should be in bed but instead they are in Grant's bedroom watching Johnny Test over Netflix on his television. I just don't have the energy to force them to go to bed.  Maybe that makes me a bad dad but I'm beat. I'll be sure to make sure they are in bed at a decent hour tomorrow evening.

   Becca begged and begged for a book at Walmart. I would have gotten it for her if Money wasn't so tight just now. I'm having to pay their mother child support and it really cuts into my already thin budget. She wanted a book called "Happy, Happy, Happy" by Phil Robertson from our new favorite show, Duck Dynasty. It's a reality show about a backwoods family who made millions manufacturing and selling duck calls. It's a cute show and Becca & I both enjoy it. I'll get her that book when I have a few extra bucks to spare. 

   Grant went to bed during that last paragraph. I had to set my iPad, which I'm using to post this, aside and read him "The Little Mermaid". My boy does love his princesses.

  That's it for this evening, now morning. 

After Four Years the Blog Resumes!

Hey Chilren's! It's been four long years since I've updated this blog and really not much has changed. Becca is in second grade and loves playing softball, Grant is in kindergarten and much to my chagrin hates sports of all kinds and I'm still single. I'll fill everyone in on the details of the previous four years at a later date.
