Last night at the science deal (S.T.E.M.) Mrs. SLB got fingered to help work the grand finale, inflating a full size hot air balloon. Mrs. SLB and another broad are holding the ropes by the basket while another crew is holding it in position with ropes towards the tops. The boys and me are perpendicular to the basket, about 30 feet away. while the majority of the rest of the crowd is about 100 feet to our left.
Everything goes swimmingly inflating it with a fan but now it's time for the big guns and the dude ignites the gas. Screams of excitement from the children rush over the crowd. As expected the balloon begins to rise to the air. Even though we have actually ridden in a hot air balloon, it really was a sight to see. Mrs. SLB (pink) hops onto the basket along with the other broad to help hold it down. That's when I notice the wind is picking up. (It's blowing right to left if you're following along on your radio.) I tell the boys to stand up and get beside me on the right. Cal immediately does what he's told. Dylan is distracted by some dope (an adult) that misinterprets the hand signals of the principal to the people holding the ropes to exclaim "kids Mr. (principal) says it's alright to go to the basket now!". I'm yelling at Dylan to get his ### over to me while some kids begin to gingerly walk towards the basket. Thankfully the guy realizes his mistake and tells the kids to get back behind the cones. Just the a giant gust of wind knocks the balloon down and begins to rise up with Mrs. SLB still on the basket. Dylan yells "MOM IS GOING TO FLOAT AWAY!!") The balloon itself begins to collapse on hundreds of kids who are screaming in terror like it's the Hindenburg or something. At this point I'm coughing my head off I'm laughing so hard at the chaos and knowing nobody was in any real danger.
Me and the boys left while this was all going down without Mrs. SLB who drove separately.
Science IS fun!

Who'd have thought I wasn't the only one taking a Bakersfield pic for Tanner in the last 24 hours?
Took this last night walking down a nearby street. I was amused that of all the places Mexicaned people might wish to flee to from a Mexican market in Seattle, Bakersfield was an option?

The good news about the second kid is that you hardly ever get a chance to sneak one past the goalie and get number three.

Any of you guys seen "Blue Is The Warmest Colour"? It's a pretty great flick, but aside from that, holy moly graphic lesbian sex.

I call it the downtown version of the Cosmopolitan. Not as nice, or as hip, 'cuz it's downtown. Haven't seen the rooms in person, but the pics look fine.

i cherish the memories of those feedings. i did it from the day we came home from the hospital. it made me feel like i slightly mattered in the whole process. because frankly, the 5 minutes(generous) that i WAS a part of, had been my only real contribution.Newbornwatch sucks. I frankly don't get the fascination with babies. They are just a whole lot of noise and work with little payoff. My 3 year old is literally my favorite person on the planet, don't get me wrong, but if there were a service where I could just ship them off when they're born and welcome them back to a huge first birthday party, that would be ok in my book. I'm certain it wouldn't fly with Mrs. O anyway...
I for some reason volunteered for the nightly 3am feeding slot after Mrs. O was sleep deprived and sort of losing her #### with a baby who cries A LOT. Which of course ends up involving a lot more than just feeding, because the burping makes a spit up mess and she ends up crapping on me and so I have to open up the mummy wrap my wife has her in (seriously includes boots and gloves, she's got more gear than that moon man carrying the MTV flag), change the diaper, change all the wet clothes, reconstruct the moon man costume (which I never get right), and all the while she's teetering on the brink of meltdown and endangering the toddler's sleep and my wife's. I then finally get it together and bring her back in the room and I have no idea where the pacifiers are hidden (hint: NOT somewhere sensible like oh say the nursery), so now she's screaming again and I'm fumbling around in the dark without my contacts in looking for these stupid things and it turns out a whole lot like an Easter egg hunt because Mrs. O wakes and tells me to go to the kitchen to find one, and it's in the kitchen alright, so long as I would have thought to look in the cabinet, in a plastic bucket, underneath a bunch of bottles and caps, to find exactly one (1) clear colored rubber pacifier (with all the crap we buy in this house, we really can't spend the $3.99 for say buy oh I don't know I've more package of these things?). Except I don't have xray vision and so I dont find it and instead start turning on all the lights and wandering the house like I'm trying to find a jumbo jet in the Indian ocean until Mrs. O comes down to show me the really sensible place where we keep our one (1) pacifier, and now everyone is fully awake and fully annoyed and the baby is in fit mode which I'm left to tend to since it's my shift. And as such what should be a 15 minute feeding process turns into a 3-5am block of time, the conclusion of which leaves me wide awake and wondering if it's really worth trying to go back to sleep for one hour. Of course 5 hours a night when you have to go through a miserable commute to a job with miserable people every day is not sustainable over a prolonged period.
T&P ammiright??
So now everyone else is sleeping peacefully but me. #### it, I'm going on Amazon to re-up my Prime for 99 bucks (they could have charged me double) and order a pallet of pacifiers.
and we pumped up dr browns stock with all the baby feeding #### we had. i bought a special drying rack just for baby feeding paraphernalia. binkies everywhere. upstairs, downstairs, her room, both cars, purse, baby bag, my pocket.but i get it, we stopped at 1 child because we didn't want to do it all over again. except my part
and always remember, she stays home with them. all. day. every. day. would you trade?

Damn...
Guy that has taught next door to me for the last 10 years just landed a job at one of the nearby prisons. He's going to be making $30-$35k more a year.
He also says there are probably going to be a couple of more openings in the next year.

You'll have to weigh increased income versus shortened life expectancy. Only you can make that call.Damn...

The job my buddy landed has more to do with the testing/placement of incoming inmates. Pretty sure they have a juvenile offender facility there too. The other positions that might open up would be regular teaching spots. Not sure what the salary range is but it would be higher than what I make now. Not to mention it would be a state job and retirement would come earlier.Cavity Search Technician?Damn...

Meh. I used to work at juvenile hall. I felt safer there than if I taught at a school in a crappy community. Typically inmates don't see teachers as "the man".You'll have to weigh increased income versus shortened life expectancy. Only you can make that call.Damn...

I think I told you about my cousin the hot-shot lawyer in the Bay Area?
Got married in the late 1980s. He and his first wife had 3 kids in about 5 years. They divorced about 12 years ago. Cousin remarries a couple of years after that. He gets his vasectomy reversed and has two kids with wife #2. He now has 5 kids ranging in age from 24 to 5. He also had his vasectomy unreversed or whatever. When I saw him last year I told him he should just get a zipper installed on his balzac.

OK, I showed these to Mr. krista and he thought they were "####### cool", but if you look further at the site it appears they are selling franchises/business plans, not pizza ovens. I sent them a note just in case. :(

When you buy a pizza in Seattle do they throw it at you like a fish?*
*All I know about Seattle food is what they show in the bumpers during Seahawks games.

When I used to sub up at juvy I worked in the female unit (no pun intended). This is correct.
