Hurting your kids and other interesting things.

We have all done it right. One minute we are throwing our kids up in the air or swirling around and around and they are laughing and giggling and we are laughing at their laughter and then suddenly your grip slips and they go flying. Jubilation turns to tears for them and total guilt for you. That was the way I felt when I banged my little daughters head on the ceiling the other day. I was at my in-laws place with family. I was throwing Ayden in the air, she was laughing and then all of a sudden I heard the "bonk" and saw her face change from happiness to a blank stare and then a look of pain. While my face changed to sorrow. I thought I had way more room before I hit the ceiling but I happened to be standing in the entrance of the kitchen and the dining room which has about a 6 inch wide down drop that is only about 7 feet high. It is the lowest part of the entire area and unfortunately I managed to find Ayden's head with it. I felt so bad but she survived. I am sure all of you out there have done things to accidentally hurt your kids. If you do then tell them to me in the comment area.

Ayden is walking now to a slight extent. She stands up, takes about 6 steps and then falls. Then she gets right back up and tries again. She will be walking efficiently in a couple of weeks I think. She is a true joy to me.

Asher went on a field trip yesterday to a dinosaur museum. He said he had lots of fun. He is doing really well. He plays daily with about 4 other next door neighbor kids. He is doing well in school. He is trying to get straight A's so he can reap the money we told him we would give him if he did. He really likes money.

Tina is doing great. I keep telling her to write some blog entries so people can have some different perspectives but she just hasn't gotten around to it yet. We are approaching Ayden's 1st birthday in a couple of weeks. We are in the planning phase for it. Tina recently got done putting into practice all of the home improvement shows she has watched over the years. She bought a headboard for our bed that needed to be sanded and refinished which she did a wonderful job on and we installed it on our bed this past weekend. She really did a great job, it looks great.

I am subbing for Frisco ISD these days including right now. I am currently at a middle school subbing for a 8th grade social studies class. They are studying for state wide test next week and I am just kicken it.

Tonight Tina, Ayden, Asher, Little Dave and I are going to a Frisco Rough Riders game. Also I have a interview with the city of Addison for a Summer Camp Counselor position. I am still searching for a teaching/coaching job for the fall. So far nothing has happened but it is still a bit early in the process. The answer to the last poll question was "I know who killed me". It starred Lyndsey Lohan who was up for worst actress. Congrats on the person who got it correct.

I am thinking about getting into to guns. I went shooting as part of an elders quorum activity this past weekend. I got to shoot my 12 gauge at some clay pigeons. I did pretty well. I am thinking about purchasing a Glock 19 and getting my concealed license in the near future. I need a hobby and enjoy shooting so I am going to look into it.
