Sober Saturday

The title has nothing to do with this posting. I just thought it sounded cool, instead of phrases like: "Quarter Well drinks Thursday",  or "Dollar Scooner Sunday".

 I must thank God for another wonderful week! Not that I didn't thank him daily, or rather nightly. I begin each day and ask Him to help me be a better father for my children and a better husband to my loving wife of almost 11 years. "I KNOW"... The Vegas bookies are collecting all you haters hard earned cash. Who'd a thunk that AJ and I would make it this long? I look forward to another eleven.

I plan to do something different this year since it will be the 9th anniversary of 9/11.  No disrespect America, survivors, family members, military, but I can't get sucked into the media madness of 24 hour coverage remembering and conspiring, and saying," Thank you history makers for hating each other so much that we kill each other.... maybe that is better for a "Random Man" posting. HeHe! I am leaving the TV off this year, I'm gonna bake us a cake, grab momma (AJ) to a decent restaurant, and celebrate eleven years of matrimony. I'm sorry America, I will remember and mourn on the 12 this year. My baby (AJ) and I deserve a day of celebration, not remorseful sarrow. We deserve to eat our cake and shake a rug like a bug.! And that's what I plan to do this year on September 11, 2010. 

An Awesome Place To Work

Another great week at Dralco Systems. God has humbled me with 1/2 the wages I am use to earning and I now punch a clock for the 1st time in 15 years (except that little Ihop stint). I love it! I love my job! I love punching a clock and actually getting paid overtime for the overtime hours I put in.! God looked down on my pitiful life and saw me crying asking his son to turn my life around. To help me rebuild my family that I almost completely destroyed when I let alcohol eat me alive. And God had pitty on me because I told him I am just a man and I have made poor  choices; Ive strayed down the wrong path's and fallen to the depths of Hell and looked the devil in his wicked evil eyes, and I hated what I had become. God opened his heart and rained down his love and kindness all over my home (we can now afford to keep our home and the foreclosure papers were burned in our fire pit out back); I found a great job doing what I love to do and I love my cubicle! My DWI fines which I was so stressed about because I thought I might have a warrant out for my arrest was whipped off the books because I severed the full sentence in jail, therefore I am able to walk into the DMV and get my license back without being cuffed and hauled off to the slammer! My Sr22 (something all convicted drunk drivers must get in order to get your license back) only cost me $20.00 additional on our insurance policy! Thank you Jesus! My selfesteem is at an all time high! My family is healthy! So I continue to do my part and stay sober, get up and get to Weatherford Texas by 6:50am so I can clock in at 7am, work till 5pm at something that I am good at and love! Drive home and walk into the door of our little home (which I am ready to rent out and move out of Fort Worth so bad) < and hug my girls, kiss my wife! And most important, I thank God for another day and reminding me that change can be good.
