Super slacker blogger Bill & When dogs slobber

well bill (me) has been slacking lately, especially with posting cool, funny silly stories.

I’ll see if I can change that, every now and then I find myself in a rut, and the best thing to do is to first realize I am in a rut (life looking rather rutty as of late), then do some things (fun or otherwise) to climb out.

So I will try and post every day, and see if that helps if not at least I am posting silly stuff every day and ah well, you can read it.

Ta DA!

So like yesterday I put Sergey in the minivan and left the door open, and the garage door open so he wouldn’t feel that I was abandoning him in a car coffin (because sometimes he acts like he is being buried alive when I buckle him in.) Then I went backintot the house to get Damien who was being disrespectful, and generally annoying in his lack of motivation about getting shoes and sock on to go to school. My (evil Dad) plan was to grab Damien barefoot, and put shoes and sock on at daycare. Olya came down and was helping Damine with his shoes, so my evil Dad plan being thawrted, I just grabbed the kids lunches and headed back tot he garage to put them in the car.

Let me just say that I was SHOCKED to find a dog sniffing around inside the garage right at the door to the house. and I sort of went into reflex mode and yealed at the dog until it ran with it’s tail between it’s legs. Then I hear Sergey crying, and saw the pen door on the minivan as if for the first time. as I got intot he minivan I could smell dog, and the seat has a slobber spot onit that was not there less than a minuet ago when I put him in, an he was holding his finger saying “owie”, and he had dog slobber on him.

So I am pretty mad at myself for putting Sergey in that situation. and I think what if that had been a fox, which live in the surrounding marshes. I know stupid parinoid thoughts, but I have lots of those.

Probably the dog heard Segery and went to investigate and may or may not have nipped Sergey on the hand, it could have also liked him onthe hand and gottenthe same reaction from Sergey who often claims “Owie” when he does not get his way (This is because Sergey is curently channeling “The littel boy who said Owie”). The dog looked to be a young black lab probably around 2 years old, so it is unlikely that that breed would do anything to hurt Sergey.

What did I learn from this?
Well I think I’ll be putting the most annoying child in the car first, that way when a rogue grizzly bear comes by and eats him when my back is turned, at least the less annoying one will survive, and I can consoel myself by knowing that this is just natures way of dealing with annoying children.

We have joined the MinVan Elite

Well with the third child on the way, we will need a vehicle big enough to carry to parents, three car seats of kids, and at least two more adults, plus luggage for two weeks.

This is what happens every time Olya’s parents come to visit.

The Saturn Vue just wasn’t cutting it as I would have to stay home, while Olya went to pick up her parents, as there just was not enough room. Now add a new baby into the mix.

So we got a Venture Extended. It was about 2 grand under the normal asking price, and was bought to help shuttle their one grand child around.

It has half the miles that the Vue has , and rides quieter, and smoother. Far too easy to speed in the Mini Van, because I have a hard time gauging my speed without looking at the speedometer.

No tape player, so I will have to convert my vast tape collection to CD or MP3.

No automatic door opener, but I am told that is a good thing.

It was never used for towing, and we don’t plan to tow with it either, so that should help keep it running longer.

Doesn’t take pot holes as well so I will be working to avoid them now, rather than just driving over them.
