1000 wins

Tomorrow night coach Anderson may get his 1000th win? He has been coaching for a longtime. Think about what it takes to get 1000 wins in a Basketball coaching career. NCS has 3 of the states best three point shooters. 3 out of the top 11.

NCS 29 and 1

The Nashville Christian Eagles are playing tomorrow night and Charlie Anderson is closing in on 1000 wins. Tomorrow night will be 999, if he wins.

In Louisville Again!

I am building a lot of Marriott reward points traveling up here to Louisville and other areas of KY. Hopefully we can use these points sometimes this year. Maybe for a trip to Florida.

Diary diet

Alex Curtis Health Check

I started another blog site last week to help me keep track of what I am eating, work outs, and weight loss. I am having my 40th birthday next month and I have finally realized how out of shape I am. It is important that I start eating better as well as exercise more than I am today.

I have been looking at different supplements that will increase energy and burn fat. My goal is to weigh 195 by April 5th the day before my birthday. My last weigh in I was 218.6. Big obstacles is cutting out the cokes, breads (carbs) and not eating till I am so full. Changing my eating habits has been hard as we eat out a lot. It is to expensive as well as unhealthy.

Ashton did really well at her volleyball tournament this weekend. Addison is still hurt and did not play. Ashton looked really good and has improved a lot. The twins really like their coach, Paul. He is good for the girls.

Re-Fi Whiteheath CT

We refinanced our the mortgage we have on 905 Whiteheath Ct and did get a much better interest rate and terms this time. We thought we would get more money back but as usual the amount we thought we would get was much lower. It is amazing to me how every time we expect to get one amount we get something else. Oh well. 

Sitting at Ashton and Addison volley ball practice at the Impact Volley ball club out in Antioch almost 30 minutes away from Bellevue. Addison hurt her Knee so she can not practice bit Ashton is. Ashton got to play with the girls High School Basketball team Friday night and scored a basketball! Ashton did not get the chance to play at all this year on the Middle Schools team and her coach this year was really bad. She really pissed me off how she managed or did not manage the team this year. They could have been so much better if they had a better coach. 

Coach P had almost totally destroyed Ashton self confidence and really did not know what she was doing. She really pissed me off, did I say that already!!!!

Is it worth it?

Having a big nice house,  private schools, and all of the other things that we feel we must have is so crazy. Money, money, money!?!?!?!!! 

Looking to the Future

Jennifer says that I can be negative. I don't view myself as a negative person I usually try to keep it real however. Many times facts are facts and if they seem to be negative then It is what is. I am very positive about our future and I truly believe that God has blessed my family with everything we need. However,  we do not save and invest in our future like I think should.

With private school tuition, travel volleyball, softball, baseball, basketball, vacations, Titans tickets, and every other expense we have over and above our normal living expenses.  It seems impossible to save enough money. We don't live high on the hog. We may need to sell the house we are in now. It is the perfect family house and we have been here for almost four years now. Jennifer and the kids love this place. I really like the house as well we have plenty of room and it is close to everything we need, but we could make over 100k and build something as big and potnetially have a smaller payment. 

It is amazing how much it costs raising a family with four kids. We budget 1200 month just for food. Ashton and Addison who are 14 years old now eat as much as I do and they are girls. Our younger ones Allie-Grace and Maddux are getting bigger as well and eat a lot these days as well. Private school is the one thing that has really changed our situation. The twins love going to Nashville Christian and compared to other private schools it is very reasonable in costs.

"time sure is fun when your having flies"

Wow like Kirmit the frog used to say "time sure is fun when your having flies". The years just roll by faster and faster every year. The kids are growing up so fast and with twins being 14 going on 20 they have taking over the house and I now live with three women who are very demanding. But I still love em they are my beautiful ladies.

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.
