Up late & hurting mouth

I napped off & on all day & am now up late. My mouth still hurts a lot... more than I expected from a simple extraction... but then again I was sent to an oral surgeon because it was a moral extraction.

This is in long stretch off of work. I'm trying out a new work schedule: 2 on, 3 off, 4 on & 5 off. I'm in the middle of my 5 off & it seems life forever. I wish I could have gotten some riding in during this stretch off but it wasn't to be. My tooth took precedence. have a root canal on my next stretch off... yipeee! Getting old or at least having your teeth get old sucks.

I've met my 2nd New Years resolution. 20 pounds down! That's a good thing. It's nice to fit into some of my old clothes. But it's time to refocus & take off another 10. I have an alumni reunion in May & would like t be down more pounds by then. I guess I'm gonna have to start exercising to help reach that goal...yuck! It's not so bad once I'm in that exercise groove it's just so hard to find that's groove. I can wait for the weather to warm up so i can ride bikes with my friend Jessica.

The dog is snoring. Cute new pix of him. We've nick named him digger dog. He almost looks like one of those lawn statues where you can only see the ass-end of the dog because he;s dug himself so deep. This is bout as deep as it gets for Bruiser because hi legs are so short.

I finally up loaded about 150 pictures to facebook from 7/4/07. Man we had a GREAT time that day. I take so many pictures that a lot of them just seem to get lost in my computer. But when they're found again it's like a stroll down memory lane. It's fun to remember the days of past. Man, Jesse sure has grown up over the last 2 years. She's lost a lot of baby fat & is becoming a beautiful young lady. She's already boy crazy & it won't be long before the boys are Jessica crazy. That's when Duck says the shotgun comes out & Jesse gets locked in the basement. Aaaaah... a father's love.

I'd better get to bed. I'm gonna try to make church tomorrow & I have a baby shower for the women I took the "belly" pictures of. I think I'm getting sleepy enough it give it the old college try. There's nothing sweeter than working night shifts & actually sleeping with the one you love. I even made dinner several time during this time... but my house is a mess cuz my mouth hurts too much to bend down & such,

Welp good night... I hope
