I have my back surgery at 11:30 in the morning. Not looking too forward to not being able to eat or drink all morning long. It will be nice to have a release from some of this back pain though. Hopefully the pain from the surgery won't be too intense.
I will try to get back on as soon as I feel up to it.
I pray that my family endures this well. I hate not being able to help out around the place. My boys are being real troopers though. If you can't tell by now I am pretty proud...

So last Thursday night we were up most of the night with our 3 year old. He got sick and was throwing up all night. By Saturday he was like a new person.

I would give him his "puffer" (albuterol) every chance I could....

Even when my wife and I got married I was used to traveling for work and I would be gone for a week at a time. It was just something we were accustomed to.
Now I have 2 little heartbreakers that mean the absolute world to me and I can't stand to be gone at all. I think it actually makes me physically ill when I am away...

Well this is my first blog ever.
Although my boys really enjoyed dressing up last night and going out in search of free candy, I am not sure that aftermath is worth it. Have you ever noticed that if you don't get your children to bed at their normal time they can become very cranky little bears. Oh my, let's just say this morning was interesting.
