No Rest For The Wicked

I know it's been a little while from my last post, but I've been over whelmed with parties and details. Nothing changes much around my neck of the woods. I get up Mon-Thurs brush my teeth, drink a glass of milk, fill up a gallon of water, water and feed my birds, check for eggs, and go to work. Out the door by 5:15am and back by 7:00pm. During the day to day of work I might be sweeping rocks, wearing tyvek, decked out in full gear air tanks and all, sitting doing paperwork, getting samples ready for the lab, filing old sample stuff, or just anything my boss tells me to do. The job is cool because during our lunch break we go to the gym. I have a group of friends that really like to push our workouts. During the summer we circuit train Mon and Weds. On Tuesday we had a couple of four mile runs we would alternate between, lots of hills and dirt trials (makes you work, road running is easy). Thursday was normally a hard sprint/weight day. The weather isn't so nice we really have stuck pretty much to www.Crossfit.com. We come up with some good stuff on our own also that really pushes the body to wanting to just give up. I always like it when you don't know if your going to puke or not, makes it more interesting.

Monday nights Hero's is mine and Mindy's time together. Kid's get milk and say prayers around 9:00 and then Mindy and I turn on the DVR. How did people live without DVR for so long? This little black box has pretty much saved my life or Damned it (you decide). One more week of Hero's and then back into wondering what the next season will hold. We are trying to make sure Family Night gets done on Monday but I think Sunday works better for us.

Tuesday is nothing to exciting Mindy was working this day? Now she'll be here doing nails for friends and family so I'll just have fun keeping kid's out of Mom's way.

Wednesdays have been our Ultimate Fighter night for the last couple of weeks. It's been an o.k. season, but really can any of you stand Frank Mir? I'd hate to call any former Champion a Idiot but this guy fits the bill (if anyone ever has). I'm sure that he will get smashed on the 27th. What did everyone think of the "Fight for our Troops"? There where some crazy things going on!

You can check out the results at the link above. The night was INSANE!!! If you watched you seen a broken arm, which in over sixteen years if watching I've seen only once. A guy knocked out and still standing up (well at least for a second or so?) I'll get back to the post.

Thursday is nice because at my full time job it's Friday, and I don't mind getting to sleep in to around 7:00 or 8:00 the next day. This means that Mindy and I can normally stay up and catch Jay Leno or maybe even Conan.

Fridays are kind of a blur because I'm really busy detailing and just trying to do the best job I can and give people an awesome looking car. I like it when I get done and can look at it and know it's most likely never been that clean sense its left the factory. Other than wear and tear that no one can do anything about. (Matt. 6: 19-2019 ¶ Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: 20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal)

Saturdays are fun for me. Salazar comes over around 9:00 or 10;00 and we practice. This works out for me great because by Saturday I'm healed up from the workouts of the week and can at least hold his attacks off for a little while. I feel that things are falling into place and I should have a good chance of getting some more wins in the next tournament. The rest of the day I do another detail or try to get some of my honey do's done.

Sundays are busy!!! I thought this would be a day to rest? Church starts @ 9:00 so in order to get kids ready Mindy and I have to get a good jump on things. Most of the weeks after Church I have meeting with the Bishop. Then right after that we have our Presidency meeting. It is about six hours from when I leave my house to when I get home, if we don't have visits.

Well if anyone wonders what I'm up to there it is in a nutshell. At least until I get my paintball course up and running..... Like I said "No rest for the wicked"

I am just wondering why the Bishop wants to see you every week after church. I really thought you had calmed down since having kids? Let me know if there's anything you need to talk about...repentance is a long, hard process that we all have to go through at one time or another.
