Off for the Christmas Holiday's

Taking a few days off for Christmas and I am so looking forward the time off.  Jennifer and I just dropped off cards at the post office that we should have mailed at last week. They should get to everyone in plenty of time.

The twins haven't had a very good year so far in basketball.  They have only won one game which is not normal for them. They aren't used to loosing this much as they have always played for teams that won most of their games. Their coach, Mrs. Patterson is very weird and for some reason doesn't play Ashton at all. Ashton has only played in 2 games out of 7 or 8 and for very little time. Ashton is one of the most experienced and strongest girls on the team and for the life of me I can not understand why Ashton has not been playing more than she has.

Addison has played a lot and outside of Chandler the best player plays the most on the team. Addison has become the focal leader of the team and continues to improve in all aspects of the game.  I wish she would shoot more often.

Last Friday night Canden Anderson scored his 1000th point which is amazing if you really think about it. His grandfather who coaches the NCS boy high school basketball team is approaching winning his 1000th win.  He has been coaching for over 40 years and has been very successful over the years.

Going to bed way 2 late!

Here it is midnight again and I am just going to bed. I wanted to start working out at the YMCA in the morning before work but in order for me to realistically do it on a consistent basis I need to get a goos night sleep.

The holidays this year are the same as last. Here we are with not enough money to really buy want the kids want for Christmas. I make really good money and it seems we never have enough. We don't live like kings.  The house payment is to high and sucks the majority of my monthly take home pay and it doesn't leave enough for all the things Jennifer wants to do. 

Jennifer does a good job of managing our finances considering our situation, which isn't that bad. I am making it sound bad when it is not. Outside the house payment we really don't have that much debt. . I really want to sell Whiteheath and build a house but now I think we are stuck here due to all of the repairs it requires.

Lost 11 pounds

Over the last week after getting very sick I lost over 10 pounds and still have not got my normal appetite back. Which I guess is a good thing I eat to much anyway. I need to use this as a spring board to continue loosing more weight. Jennifer is still feeling bad several days after all of us got sick. This was one of the worst times I can remember that the entire family got sick.

Sitting here at the office in Brentwood. Drove to Columbia earlier today for a customer meeting that may have been a waste of time. There is a open position for a MAC in the Government Group that looks interesting. I am getting ready for a change here with AT&T and it may be a good move. I love what I am doing now it's just some of the CAE's I support are driving me crazy.  This new position would allow for me to reduce the number of people - would have to support and continue doing what I am doing now. 

I am excited about Christmas this year which honestly in the past at this time I have not been. Looking forward to it this year a little more than last. However with private school tuition we have to watch our gift spending. Seems every year we never have enough money for Christmas. I guess no one does.

The whole house is sick!

WOW the last few days have been brutal on the Curtis household. Allie got it first then Maddux.  Then it moved to me before attacking Jennifer and the twins. Addie was the last to get whatever it was.  A nasty stomach bug Flu like sickness that had all of us vomitting like crazy for at least 12 hours.  I have been over it for almost a half day and still haven't eaten anything substantial, I bet I have lost 8 pounds over the last three days if not more. 

Just getting to bad at 1:30am and I have a customer meeting at 9am downtown in the morning.  I need to get some sleep.
