Work, home, and family.

Managing work, home, family and Church is not the easiest thing to do anymore. Ever since taking a higher position at work, excepting a position in the Elders quorum and having three rambunctious girls of various ages, life has gotten "crazy". I try to take a little down time with the family, but then that means that more will be put on my wife's shoulders (we all know what stay at home mom's go through on a daily bases. She does so much for us; The shopping, constant cleaning, cooking and dealing with the emotions of an 18 month, 4 year old and 6 year old. Also the constant messes, attitudes and the relentlessness that all kids have, so when I'm off I always try to kick her out of the house and go have a little away time from the kids and the house.), and I try to do as much as I can to relieve some of her burden.

Then there are the many projects and the partial projects. Everything is coming along great. The yard's looking better, rooms are almost all painted, the garage is almost cleared out and the laundry, well that is just endless (we do have a good system, I wash, she folds). I really want to put my focus in our yard, the view from the deck is awesome. I just put some seed out back, hopefully it take! (we have weed and feed, but what we really need someone to come up with is a weed, feed and seed mix, than you only need to go over your lawn once).

Seems like (for the most part), life is finally starting to calm down and we're able to take a little more time for our selves. Work on the other hand is not calming down. It seems like someone always wants some time off and I need to cover it. And all the endless meetings, I tell you it's worse then church, and I don't know how they manage to drag 30 minutes (of important things and tools to use) over 4 and a half hours. I think the worst part of work is the gossip, it's bad, from management to production workers, relief society doesn't even compare. The funny thing is amongst the chaos and crazy work, I actually like doing what I do for a living, If it came down to it I would always pick family over work, if I could, but I do like my job and the different responsibility I have there.

I am glad the weather is finally getting nice, it's time to do some camping and fishing, and perhaps for the first time in my life I will go ride a 4 wheeler, I've been on the back of one but never drove one before. A lot of my buddy's own them and invite me out often, maybe I'll take them up on it.

Time to stop the rambling, although it is fun and a form of stress relief, I don't want to make this a Marathon blog that just goes on and on with no real point to it, you know what I'm talking about, after a while It all just sounds like jabber and you think "ya, you could end it now", any minute that would be great, but no.. it just goes on and on to the point that it is now ridiculous. And I really don't want to be one of the many ramblers, just say what you have to say and leave it at that, yup! that's me, not known for a men of many words, just gets straight to the point.
