Journal FortKnox's Journal: Lent Update: Day One, and the Family 15
E-frickin-gads.
As you can see by my posting history, I was successful at not using the net at work. Was tough, because I needed a 5 minute break and didn't know what to do, so I did the old 'go get water and visit with people.' The lack of video games? Ugh, I'm dying here. I'm actually trying to tell myself "Why not just give up Madden and Desert Combat... those are the only ones you play all the time..." Or "Maybe I should play some this weekend... I don't think I'm gonna make it."
This is tough, but being religious and being it during lent really kinda helps things. I've heard a lot of people ask "why during lent? Why not just give it up some random time, or like as a new years resolution." The answer is simple. God is a better 'big brother' than the best CIA spooks. If you do it to better yourself during a religious time, its tougher to go back to it, cause, well... he'd know. I guess this is a bad way of explaining it and people will bitch about it. Oh well, its not like I'll be able to respond to it until tomorrow night. :-P
As far as the family goes, Jenna has dropped down pretty far and is killing my wife's hips. Went to the OB today (she's weighing in around 7lbs, 2oz according to the ultrasound, which has a margin of error around 12oz). Official induction date is 2/22, but she could go at any time. If I don't post at night for over 2 days, feel free to do the 'bethanie game' (guess the date, time, and weight of the child...). I know bethanie is still reading things, so maybe she'll do it again? Who knows...
Joey is sick. Had a fever around 103F this afternoon. He was acting like a zombie and the doctor said she didn't have any appts till tomorrow, but he'll be ok until tomorrow (and she gave us a couple conditions to take him to an Urgent Care if they should arise). We gave him some childrens Motrin and he eventually perked up this evening late. He ate some cereal and we put him to bed. Here's hoping he gets better fast. The kid rarely gets sick, and the last thing I want is him to get sick when the baby decides to come out....
Wow... look at all that writing... can you tell I've given up net use?? ;-)
