Peyton Manning is a Chump...and other random thoughts....

• Let's start with my title complaint...Peyton Manning just signed with the Denver Broncos turning down among other teams my 49ers...Fine but Peyton be honest about why you chose Denver...Because you don't want to hurt Eli and Archie's feelings and potentially keep Eli from reaching a Super Bowl, so you stayed out of his conference. San Francisco has a better defense, more offensive weapons and would have made you a king if you took them back to their glory days of winning Super Bowls...
• That being said I am glad Alex Smith decided to stay away from Miami and come back to the Niners...
• Finally got around to reading The Hunger Games, decent book. Not life changing but good. Pretty excited to go see the movie. 
• Been a pretty rough Lenten journey this year for me. I haven't been very good at trying to better myself and pray more. Course it got of to a rough start what with grampa's funeral right before.
• Tommy lucked out this year his spring break from school has coincided with a nice warm spell here in Minnesota...
• Saw The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo last night, as usual the book was better, :-). But it was a decent movie. They changed a few too many details from book to screen for my liking...
• Things on the job front are looking good, I have been temping out at a cold storage place pretty steady and I guess they are looking to bring me on...so that's a good thing.
• Things are going pretty good on the family front too, Matty is doing more new things every day. I tend to get frustrated trying to get him to use words but I have to keep reminding myself he is only 19 and a half months old. 
• His little cousin is on the verge of her first steps, she is at the point where she will occasionally let go of whatever she is holding onto to do something and as long as no one notices she can stand but if you notice she falls down...
• Looks like Mitt Romney is going to be the GOP nominee for president. Sad I was hoping Rick Santorum could rise up and take it away from him. Romney is just Obama lite in my opinion. Santorum is a good man and a solid conservative.

A Brave New World

Sorry I ripped the title of this post off of a Disney song, but it seemed appropriate. Sorry also for the lack of updates of late. Been dealing with my grampa's funeral and just haven't had the time to write. My Lenten discipline really should be to force myself to sit down and write every night.

Anyway on to the reason for tonight's post. My sweet little happy Matty is entering his terrible twos a solid 5 months too soon. He used to run around all happy and would say yes to everything. Now he loves to say no. Every question you ask him he answers with a no. What's up with that.

I think it was the hair cut. He got his first hair cut a couple weeks ago and he started turning at that point. But this weekend he really picked up the whole no thing. He is such a little brat.

At least big brother is his usual happy self. Tommy is doing so good. We finally got organized and got him into outpatient therapy just to augment the stuff they can do at school, since they never get enough time with him. We finally got a PCA for him so I definitely feel a little better about the whole work situation if I find a permanent job.

Been nice to have a little more work, last week I was out at a place twice loading a rail car full of frozen turkey. Good, hard, work, I wouldn't mind a job like that for awhile maybe I could hustle my chubby ass into a little better shape.
