Down 10

So I started a diet about 3 weeks ago when I stepped on the scale and it said 205. I knew in my head when the scale got over 200 it was going to be time to do something. I started running for 30 mins. everyday and watching my calories. The first week was hell and alittle depressing. When I was in college I could run a seven minute mile with ease. The first day, some ten yrs later, it moved up to an eighteen min. mile. I felt sick. I was sore, sadly it hit me I was out of shape and.....old. My goal was to get to 185 (-20 lbs.) by Zoey's birth. Today I'm at 195 and ran 2.25 miles in 30 minutes. The first mile I ran in 11 minutes. I am eating better and getting close to the goal that some laughted at when I started.(Remember Zach's party mom and dad) This is not an easy house to diet in. Traci wants me fat and Zach is always snacking on something. I shall overcome! See ya at 185 on Nov 29th.

Charger thought

Does Al Davis own the Raiders or does LT? Think about it.

Game 5 half way point

Today was the half way point for the soccer season. We are now 4-1. Today was a really good game, the type of game kids and parents will be talking about for months! The Hornets are down 2-0 at half and looking alittle lost. The coach needs just one player to step up and turn the tide. He scans the field for that one player to stand out and step forward. The coach has to trust his go to player to take the team on his back and lead them to victory. The plan is hatched and goes into effect. The player comes out onto the field with fire in his eye and a foot cocked and loaded for goal scoring. 3 minutes into the qtr a thunderous shot is sent screaming into the net, cutting the deficit in half. The ball is placed back in play and sent to and fro with kicks and vollies from each side. Then just before half the player comes out of no where and takes the ball down field for a goooalll. The score is even the game is in the balance, anyone can take it. Who will be the victor? The player shortly before the game ends sends the last shot off his white laced black leather laser foot in the net. The Hornets have come from behind to win!!! Whom is the player you ask? It was the coach's son the crowd says in a hush. The coach's son......Zach. How's that recap?

What's new

The weeks all seem to go so fast. Where has the time gone. It has been awhile sense I bored you with soccer. The team is doing better than I thought. It is really hard to control 6 kids and most of the time I think they control me. Right as I get 4 to do what they are suppose to do the other 2 are on a mental vacations. If you think the games are fun to watch them go all over the place, try viewing a practice. Zach is having another good season. He is so fast with the ball that no one can catch him. He has about 8 goals in 4 games. The team is 3-1, but who's counting....besides me.
The Chargers are a hot topic also. So Turner finally won one, or the team won despite Turner. It is always great to beat Denver, but even better in a blow out. The team better win this week. The only team I HATE losing to is Oakland. I do not care at the end of the year if we go 2-14, as long as the two wins are Oakland. It's just something about those "fans" I hate.
Traci will be having the baby on Nov. 29. The coundown is on. I am excited to see her. I have to finish painting the room this weekend, or at least start it. Traci and Zach are naming her Zoey, I had no say about that (nor did the poll) but I guess I was out voted.(ignored) Maybe Zoe can be the swing vote for me in the future.

It's my birthday in...

The first thing I hear every morning is Zach's countdown to his birthday. Tom. it is here for him. 6 years old. It seems not to long ago I was changing his diaper and giving him bottles. He is more than I ever expected. Zach is smart, funny, witty,athletic,cheerful,friendly(to a fault)and everything else I can't remember right now. He is a total handful some days, but I wouldn't trade one of them.

Fire Turner!!

The Chargers coach is a real piece of ....work. He never gives the ball to LT and passes way to much. The D this year flat out sucks, ever hear of rushing the passer? Merriman is dropping into coverage to many times and needs to be going up field. The team looks like it's not ready to play and that is on the coaches. Every play should not be a surprise to them on both sides of the ball! If I was the coach it would go something like this. 1st down= run to the left. 2nd down=run to the left/or pass over the middle to Gates. 3rd (and short) run up the middle. How hard is it to give it to the best player in the NFL? If we lose even one of the next two they should fire Turner at the start of the bye week. At better thought fire him now!! Bring back Marty!
