Not Enough Sleep

Wyatt is so cute you have to see him to really understand. I think this is the case for everyone's kid, the cutter they get, the more you want to prove to someone. Then you have the morning of April 17th. (which just happens to be last day to file your taxes) Wyatt woke up around 4 am. This happens to be about 30 min's after I went to sleep. Wyatt woke up screaming. And screaming and screaming and screaming. I was to the point of just sending him to the ER so I wouldn't have to listen to his screaming any more. This is where my wonderful wife comes in. Oh yes, she is wonderful, so wonderful I'm not really sure how she does it. She was holding him the entire time he was screaming. I on the other had was trying my hardest not to yell at him for I knew this would do no good. Around 7 am he was better, sort of. How was he better you may ask? Well, I fell asleep finally. So if nothing else, he was not keeping me up. The odd thing about this morning, for the rest of the day h...

My Space or FaceBook?

I have My Space, well I don't have it, I just use it. I am now using FaceBook. I can't tell which is better. I think FaceBook is simpler and doesn't have (as of yet) all the BS that comes with My Space. If I had to vote today... I would vote FaceBook. Simpler, easier perhaps and none of the annoying BS.

iTunes

I have been using iTunes for sometime now, and love it! What I found last night I can't believe took me this long to find. PodCast! I was shocked at the amount of FREE sh!t. Not only is it FREE, most of it is really good. I wanted to share and tell everyone... download something from iTunes Podcast and check it out yourself.

My New Phone

I think it's odd that I would be willing to talk about my new phone, when I can't even get my new phone till April. I'm looking a the latest Nokia phone through USCellular. I love the way it looks, the way it feels in my hand and all the features I will have to play with. The fact that it uses my SD Card is just one of many selling points. It's a camera, video recorder, MP3 player and radio player. Oh... and a phone. Oh my new phone... I can't wait to own you.

Tournament or Cash Game

I haven't had any luck playing in a No-Limit Texas Hold'm Tourn. but I have had luck playing in some cash games, why? I only have one true thought on this, to many people hang on to their money in a cash game, it's hard for them to call $30 when it is their money and the previous high bet was $12. Tournament play is a whole different game, completely. Players wait to catch the "cards" they are looking for and then try to ride them to the end. I would much rather get in cheap and see a flop. Tournament play... something I have to work on.

what to do when there is nothing to do

Our trip to St. Louis this past weekend was cancelled due to all the wonderful weather everyone is experiencing. I have the entire month off and this past weekend was my only real chance to get away from everything. I found myself stuck in the house from Friday till Tuesday with my wife, son and our lovely ( damndog ) dog. What did I learn? What to do when there is nothing to do, eat... yes, eat. I actually didn't eat as much as I think I did, but besides watching endless reruns of every food network show, I ate. The wife went back to school today, the boy went to daycare and I found myself bored. I don't know what is worst, stuck at home or free and bored. It's sad to say, but I'm ready to go back to work, at least there I know what to do and always have something to do. (and I don't eat as much either) Till next time... cymitchell .

The Weather... Gotta Love It!

The weather has found a way to keep us around for the weekend. The three of us were suppose to go to the grandparents this weekend but the weather stopped us. Lucky for us I guess, grandma has no power and is staying at a friends. What a mess it would have been for us to be there with NO power. It really didn't do that much here, little ice, sleet / snow and mix of other weather stuff. Though it is really cold, well I guess it is... we really haven't been outside. You gotta love the weather in Mo, give it another week or two and we will have the windows open again.

Happy & Eating

There is nothing like seeing your child, eating very good and having the time of his life. There is so little he has to worry about, so little he is worried about and so little he has to do, but eat and be happy. Isn't he cute? Isn't he just as happy as anyone could ever want to be... oh yes.. . to be eating and happy with no worries or concerns. This in fact... is the life of my child.

To Long.

Time has gone by entirely to fast. It has been way to long since I have wrote on my blog. I today, see that it is working with google and I'm hoping this will allow me to do more with my blog. Hope everyone is doing great and I will write again... asap.

How Time Flew By

I haven't even looked to see how long it has been since I have wrote on my blog. It's easy to forget that you need to continue to write here or your thought will escape you. In a few weeks, my little boy will be nine months old. How he has changed, he is growing up so fast. He loves to see me come home or come in and get him when he wakes up. Since mom is home for the summer, I get to see him so much more. The little one is really growing up. Everyone should find time to post on their blog, its amazing how at first you have nothing to say and then, Wham you find even more to say. Well, no telling when I will write again, so till next time, take care all you bored internet junkies.

NCAA Tourney!

I have only one thing to say about the Tourney, keep your eye on Ohio St. They are on a run, they play poorly against weak teams, but watch out if they actually have to play someone tough. They will go again Memphis, a solid team, but they have nothing against MY Ohio St. I believe Ohio St. will make it to at least, the Elite Eight. Go Ohio St. PS: Sorry it took so long for me to post anything, wife made me do the dishes.

One Week to Think

I have been thinking about this post for a full week, a full seven days and here is what I can tell you. THE SUPER BOWL SUCKED! I was bored the entire time. The game sucked, the officials sucked, the commercials sucked... what else can I really say. Am I a sore loser, maybe... but I don't like a sucky, boring game. If anything, Congrats to the Steelers! Till another day... I'm off.

Super Bowl, Super Food?

I love to eat and I especially love to eat on Super Bowl Sunday! Oh the food, hot wings, chips, dip, little snacks that other wise you wouldn't touch and our family tradition of m&m's and peanuts. Not Peanut M&M's, regular m&m's mixed with peanuts. I wonder how many ofther families have their own, special tradition for the Super Bowl. Does yours?

Becoming a Seahawks Fan

It's that time of the year, Super Bowl time! I must admit that I have no idea about this Super Bowl, I didn't follow either team all year. Being a fantasy football fanatic, I could have took Shawn Alexander with my 3rd overall pick, but instead I took Peyton Manning. Following Manning and the Colts, as many people did, I was sorely disappointed with their lose to some team named the Steelers. If I had taken the Seahawks RB, Shawn Alexander, I would have followed them more, watching my running back score TD after TD. The problem I see now is this, a 6th seed being favored in the Super Bowl over the #1 seed NFC Seahawks?! How can this be, because the Steelers beat up on everyone to get to the Super Bowl? Carson Palmer doesn't go out of the game and the Steelers still beat the Bengals? The Colts decide to actually block someone and the Steelers still beat the Colts? This brings us to the Broncos, who I cant stand. I grew up a Chiefs fan and find the Steelers win over the Bronc...

Resting with the baby requires Resting

My boy is very cute and loves to giggle. He tends to sleep about a hour at a time and then wake to play for two. Yesterday was a good day, slept for about 3.5 hours. Way longer than normal and good for me. I was trying to get as much done as possible, but when you don't know when he is going to wake up, it's hard to plan what to do and what not to start. My wife comes home about 4 o'clock and I was sleeping on the couch with the boy. I was so tired and preceded to sleep for another 3 hours. What had I really done all day, I'll tell you what. Resting with my son. Which goes to show you, taking care of a baby tires you out more than you could ever imagine. Resting with my son requires resting yourself afterwards.

Super Bowl Set and Koby turns 81

Steelers keep on bringing on the good luck, the power to win and the dream of a Super Bowl Ring! Panthers left their playing abilities back... well... I'm not sure where they left their skills. They simply forgot to show up. So that leaves us with the Seahawks and Steelers in the Super Bowl. You find anyone to tell you they picked these two teams to be in the Super Bowl, listen well to anything else they may tell you about sports. Sticking to sports, Koby scores 81 points. 81! Second only to W. Chamberlin's 100 points back in 1962. What can you say about sports, it's never what you think it will be and almost always more than you can imagine. Gotta love Sports. Till next time, Don't Eat the Yellow Snow.

Decision Time

I have thought long and hard about who to take this week in the NFL Championship games and I am now ready to make my predictions. SEAHAWKS 3 1/2 over the Panthers. I like the Panthers. BRONCOS 3 over the Steelers. I like the Steelers. I'm going with the underdogs this time for the first 5th and 6th seed teams to meet in the Super Bowl since 1997. Only time will tell how correct I am, but let it be known, the Seahawks could win by 1 and the Broncos win by 2 and I'm still right. =)

The Weekend and this Weekend

I want to start by saying, I had no idea it would take me this long to post again. Our weekend went well and we were able to see everyone that we wanted to see. My uncle David met my wife and my son for the first time. He lives in California and was in town and able to meet us at my grandparents for a quick visit. My mother and aunt are doing great and enjoyed the time they got to spend with my son. I cooked for them Sunday night and I still feel sorry for the amount of time it took to cook. I cooked for them, stuffed chicken. I took a chicken, stuffed it with lemons, oranges and garlic. Under the chicken were potatoes and carrots and I must say, it turned out rather well. I asked my mom though, how long it took to cook a chicken. She said one and a half hours, but my mom also thought I was talking about a small chicken, perhaps even just the breast. I knew the entire time I was talking about a roasted chicken, the one we bought was 6.77 pounds. It ended up taking about 3 hours to cook...

NFL Saturday Games

I'm still in shock, complete shock. The Patriots, defending champs, laid an egg. What were they thinking? What were they doing? Five turnovers? 13 total points? Missing a FG? Shocked I tell you... Shocked.
