Getting rusty


I took a couple of pictures of Abbie this morning and one thing is pretty obvious, I have gotten rusty. As you can see, the pictures above and on the right are fuzzy. The one above was so bad that I had to make a "poster" out of it just so I could use it. I am going to have to work on the old photography skills again.




Abbie has started grinding her teeth. That is a habit that I never picked up. It just felt bad to me. My wife grinds her teeth once in a while (usually when I am antagonizing her), but mostly in her sleep. I do not like hearing Abbie grind her teeth, it is not a pleasant sound. It makes me afraid that she will break a tooth. Sometimes I feel like I shelter her too much and that I am too afraid for her to get hurt. It is just so different being the parent, I just want everything to be perfect for my perfect little girl. I guess I should wake up to the reality that the world is not perfect. That is why I want Abbie to know God, because without Him, this world would be very sad and absolutely without hope. Can I get an Amen from the congregation?

Is anyone still listening?

Well hello there to everyone still watching for my return. I would say that a few things have been going on, but since more than 2 months have past, I think it would be implied anyway. There is way too much to get caught up on in one blog, so I will try to make this brief. For starters, my good friend and co-worker left for Walgreen's just before the end of the year. I did not realize what a big deal it would be to me until his replacement started working. I guess when you jive with co-workers you just take it for granted and do not realize what a blessing it is. I have seen just how good I had it in these past two months. On top of the flu season hitting, we get our new pharmacist and he has struggled to say the least. There have been times that I have felt like I was carrying the Pharmacy and was not going to make it. I went in one day at noon and did not get caught up until 7:30PM that evening. That is not an exaggeration, just ask my wife. It has been hard to leave work at work when I come home. Sometimes I have been so on edge that I just want to explode on everyone. Unfortunately, everyone ususally ends up being my wife. She has been having health problems that just will not quit, so it has been a tough couple of months for her, too. Then, in the middle of everything, happy as a clam, is Abbie Kay. She is the best little girl in the world. She now sits at her little table to feed herself (and dump her water on the table). Her little smile makes it hard to stay uptight about work. Amber and I thank God for Abbie every day. If you notice the time that I am writting this, yes, I am up real late. I had a brutal headache this morning and had to sleep a good portion of the day to get rid of it. Now I am paying for the extra sleep. Anyway, I will try to get back into the habit of blogging. I hope someone still watches for me.
