And John Three17







 

Who needs building blocks? Our one year old daughter seems just as content stacking rolls of toilet paper tissue.
This is all fine and dandy right up until the paper starts to unfurl. At that point it's like rolling out the red carpet,or in this case White. wait that's not carpet! Keeping up with little ones can be exhausting. ---Worth every moment. even when the family's dealing with colds every few days.  First My wife for a few days then I get it for a few...poor kids.
"Joey" it hurts inside tugs at ya when there so small and have to deal with being sick. Loved having our daughter spend more time sleeping over my shoulder today. The extra back pain was not to my liking though. Now it's time to play catch up. i thought that's what i started a day or two ago,and My wife a few before that... Looking around... um lots more to keep me busy. I'll try not to spontaneously com-bust in the process.  Soon the virus will pass by us all,we will be rid of it. and every one around here will be a little less stressed and grumpy. I Love them all.


On a side note-- or a completely different one:
A thought keep coming into my mind and i wanted to see if it would work. so to day,i got to try it out. a brief 5 min test. loaded Sonic Gems Game Cube disk into the Wii... then hooked up dance dance revolution type pad... got it up and running! step on the arrows and sonic starts to run. X he jumps. Had a baby over my shoulder so didn't get to play to long. just enough to see it could be done, complete level one of original sonic... Just waiting for a good time to try this out with my son Calvin. one of the games has a split screen 2 player mode. so this will be fun... Racing. Just wish My body would let me do more. it was so great last summer after finally seeing a doctor to be able to take my kids to the park and not be in constant pain. Winter has not been as nice to me. I'm looking forward to summer. had a real warm winter up until three? weeks ago or so... when did snow start showing up again?--- nothing like Michigan. ---but the cold is getting to me... woops sorry rambelinging. just got to thinking how much i want to push pass the physical challenges so i can spend more fun time with the family.

Though Jump... (Hyper-speed warp to...) sitting around the table(the one we don't have yet) playing games with family. Games that,say if the power went out we could still play. no TV involved... The floors a good place.. i know joeys been scattering and destroying a few sets of cards... one of these days when my daughter's asleep or playing with mom. -dad and son can play some of those games,that for now are staying out of reach of little hands. ..So far the little legos have not ended up inside a little belly. --sorry minds jumping all over the place. little objects/larger objects... Backs in pain,and I'm starting not to mane any sense,cents ...small objects...
OK--- I'm done writing. ---is this as hard to follow as i think it is...

Lost my train of thought again. ---Pain ---If i only had a brain... I'll be back when i can think clearer







At times I find my mind unwinds and I don't think when I walk,
Run into things and fall down
It's coming around again and I've found sometimes
I don't think when I talk
And put my foot in my mouth
And sometimes when I, I look at me
And wish I could be somebody else
Sometimes I throw myself and let go, but never no
Intention to see a picture of me and trap myself

All this time, we've been mislead,
...Does anyone care at all?

[Chorus]
Sometimes I fall asleep and then I lose control
I try to find my way out without letting go
And will I lose my mind if it comes back this time?
If i dont turn out perfect will you be a friend of mine?

It's coming around again and i've found sometimes I sit
When I should get up and just walk away
Sometimes I pretend and act like I do
But don't listen to a word you say
And sometimes when I start talking out loud
Should just shut my mouth and walk away
Sometimes I feel like maybe it's real and think like nobody else
Too close to myself and suffocate

Are you ready to crawl out?
Are you ready to take my hand and see?
Are you ready to crawl out?
From within the slow bleed?
From within the slow bleed?
From within the slow bleed?
Take this away from me
