Thanks for the e-mails, texts, dirty pictures (YSR/Krista)etc. I appreciate it.
First off, I haven't been arrested, incarcerated, audited or deported. I also don't have some sort of fatal disease that I'm aware of. Just a lot of stuff going on lately and believe it or not, I don't share every facet of my life with you guys here. That isn't to say I don't trust or love you guys, it just wouldn't be prudent to make it that public.
So I figure I owe you some sort of an explanation. Part of the recent "weirdness" is with Cal. Remember how I wrote about his IEP meeting a couple of weeks ago and how everything was going great until about that time? Well, it turns out that his bad day, after bad day at school was directly related to him being bullied. By a bunch of kids. Cal loves two things right now, computers and math. He loves talking about them and will do so ad nauseam if you let him. So some of the bigger kids decided to tell him they were hacking our computer, and my parents computer and stealing all of our money, posing as scammers and stealing our friends money too. They also like to ask him math questions way out of his grade level, (what's 1234*5678?) just to frustrate him. Then when he couldn't answer they taunted him by calling him stupid. Then a bunch of others began piling on. It started on the bus to school, continued all day, and finished on the bus on the way home. Day, after, day. Turns out there is a "Jenny" in his class that sticks up for Cal when the rest of the other kids pick on him, sort of a Forrest GMump kind of thing. To Cal's credit, he never ratted them out but I felt terrible that he was sucking it up and didn't come to me. So I eventually found out what was going on when Jenny finally went to a teacher about the same time Cal was pushed too far and threatened to "get a shotgun and kill all of you". Yeah. YEAH. I have a gun but Cal doesn't even know that. I don't hunt, or talk about guns. None of my family or friends that have been around Cal don't hunt or talk about guns. He doesn't play violent video games (he prefers coolmath-games.com) and he couldn't tell me where he learned to say something like that. The principal and his teachers were actually very understanding and made the main 6 culprits apologize to him. After I got home that night and put the fear of Bob into him for making such a terrible threat, I sat him down and talked to him about what was going on at school. Having your 7 year old son crying in your arms, from pure despair, because "nobody likes me, everybody thinks I'm a weirdo and stupid" was heartbreaking. And by "heartbreaking" I mean the coldest depths of hell. I told him the only thing I could think of. That I would make it right. That if he would trust me & be honest with me, I would make him feel happy again. He agreed and the rest of the school week went much better for him. I've gotten some looks from some of the other parents in the neighborhood however. I've had some conversations, initiated by them too. They were mostly apologetic and I just replied with "kids man, everything will be fine". The looks, and lack of, are another thing though. There are some daggers for sure. I however cannot be intimidated, and you seriously don't want to #### with me and you certainly don't want to #### with my kids. It should be interesting.
Oh yeah, I got some free new carpet installed in my basement Saturday. The rug, glue, & installers just fell off the truck. Crazy. Nothing fancy, I just wanted to put a play area in part of the basement for the kids.

I also talked my GB's into skipping the Rams game yesterday and just going to the casino instead. Dropped a grand and got wasted. I'm also going to spend a silly amount of money of getting some landscaping done. I'm on tilt.
So anyway, that's
part of it. I'll probably be doing some hyperhippling later.
Oh well, 37 vs 20 is still pretty good...plus, I think she has a younger sister, so there's still a chance at the whole teenager thing.
Here's to Little Jenn and the first in a long line of disappointing experiences. 
I didn't know there were virgins in Ohio. All the girls I knew seemed to be born with a Mickey's Big Mouth in their hand, pulling away on a human pacifier.
:IBTL: 
They seriously changed this to Tebow?
They played it pretty much all Saturday night while Mrs. SLB was with her friend watching vampire porn.
