Anniversary

The kids’ rooms are clean!!!  There was definitely plenty of yelling, crying, fighting, complaining, whining, weeping, wailing, gnashing of teeth and I used plenty of words that I never imagined using with my kids.  At one point the wife told me to leave and do two things to make me relax that if I mention here will cause a swift and immediate divorce. 

Speaking of the wife, it was 14 years ago today that we were married.  Even though you will be at Lunch Meat’s double header tonight while I’m 50 miles away at our oldest son’s game I hope you have a wonderful day. 

Funny story about the day we got married….I picked up the fiancé early in the morning and headed to our ceremony.  As we were getting off the freeway I casually mentioned that a migraine was setting in.  After keeping my bride to be waiting for quite a while as I threw up three times and ate a little old ladie's crackers, I walked in the room and everyone had the same painful expression on their faces.  It appeared as though they had all been told I had a month to live but didn’t know it yet.   Needless to say, I pulled through and now 14 years, 6 kids, 2 homes, 400 baseball games, 5 jobs, 30 lbs (for me anyway), 3 college degrees and 4,834 diaper changes later we are still going strong.  Happy Anniversary, I love you.
