No meat for a week

I'm trying to go the whole week without eating meat...more for morbid curiosity than any real health issue...I've stocked up on fruits, cheese and bread. I have normal food for Aidan, but he we could both stand to improve our diets.

One more week of class, then I'm done until Jan. Actually I'll be doing some DANTES test each month because some of my technical credits don't transfer over to my school. They suggested I just do the simple humanities and health type test just to cover credits I need to graduate. I'm not really too worried about it.

I'm finally turning in my application to CSC in the morning, and I should make the switch on the 10th. The raise equates to about an extra grand a month after taxes... This time next year I should only have my car payment left as a major bill.. I'm also glad I'll be able to put more away for Aidan.

Aidan has gotten A's on all of his spelling test this year. Still waiting to see if they move him to 2nd grade for his reading classes. He just needs to work on his handwriting, but after looking at my own, I know where he gets it...

Bought a new futon, now I just need to re-arrange the office so everything will fit when it arrives...

"BushClintonKatrinafund"...why the hell couldn't they leave their names off? This is why we can't have nice things...

Allergies have been killing me lately, but I think the heaviest of it is finally over...we're expecting rain for the next couple of days, so that should help....

Finally have some movies to take Aidan to. We're going to Corpse Bride, and then the new Wallace and Grommit, and then Chicken Little...and this Christmas his mom and I will take him to see The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe...

That's about all for now...I was really worn out for the last month or so because of work and school, but that seems to be ending now...I actually have energy right now and feel pretty good.

Football season et al...

I've been working weekends and long hours lately, so I haven't had time to post. Aidan and I are doing good. His teacher is looking into sending him to the 2nd grade class for his reading since he's ahead of the others in his class. He also has gotten all A's on his spelling test. He's getting better at soccer too.

It's football season again, but it doesn't feel like it yet. Too hot here. I need some fall weather soon. My allergies were really bad over the weekend, but seem ok now.

I finally get to get out and do some adult things Friday. Going to TGIF's for drinks with some of the other soccer coaches, while the kids are at fun night at the local gymnastics center. We've got a DD set up so everything should be cool.

That's about it for now...

I can't wait to see this!
