Vikings

Hello everyone, it’s me. Of course it’s me, it’s my blog. Today has been a great day. We woke up at 9 and got ready to go to Ikea, (just some oak and some pine and a handful of Norsemen). And by 10:30 we were off. Yes it took us an hour and a half to get ready; the joys of children. Actually I had to get a box ready to send to my sister.

Ok let’s get the food stuff out of the way. Today I weighed 314 and had eggs at 9 a lemon bar at 12, chicken soup at 3, tuna salad (green) at 6, and will have pudding at 8 and a shake at 10. Ok so that’s done.

At Ikea we purchased a set of bunk beds. This was about 11:30 and my wife hadn’t eaten yet so she was rather grumpy. I’m always grumpy now (you eat only powered food for a week and not be grumpy) so we got into a little spif at the car putting the big box in. Well after that I took my heart into the store to get her some food so she would stop biting my head off. Were home now taking some time to eat dinner and then its off to finish putting together the bunk beds.

Late post

Hello everyone, sorry but I was so tired last night I fell asleep watching movies and then got into a new game. Well 316 for Tuesday (maybe the crab and the salt kept in the water) but I started out with eggs. I really like the eggs. At 9 I had a crunch bar and at 12 I had chicken soup. At about 3 I had a chocolate shake and it wasn’t so bad. At 5 I had my wife’s wonderful fish and broccoli, and at 9 I had a cappuccino that was good as well. At 11 I had a snack of jello. Life is good but I will have a real post later today.

Thursday Blues on Monday

Hello all, today was a good day for the most part. I wasn’t all that hungry and I started the day at 316lbs. I had oatmeal at 6:30 for breakfast then a fruit bar at 9 then chicken soup at 12 then pudding at 3, then to mix things up at 6 I had crab and tuna salad (the green kind) and a chocolate shake at 9. My head and neck only throbbed mildly today so I put up with it. I still haven’t taken anything for my head pain as my doc says that the medicine could be causing it and I have to get it out of my system. My right wrist hurts today like carpel tunnel. I’m just falling apart. Very tired tonight so I think I’ll go to bed early. (well early for me). Tomorrow is my Friday so TGIF.

still hurting

Today I spent the day sleeping and reading. My head really pounded and my joints ached to the point that sometimes I could not move my fingers. For breakfast I had the apple cinnamon oatmeal then at 9 a fruit bar, at 12 cream of broccoli soup, at 3 I had banana pudding, at 5 a jello snack, at 6:30 a tuna salad and at 9 I had a vanilla shake. All in all the tuna was the best. Its 10 now and I’m going to bed so I can go to work tomorrow. Hope I feel better, night.

Feel like (^&^*$#.

Hello everybody. I didn’t get to write last night, sorry. Yesterday was hard because my head hurt all day. I don’t mean hay I have a headache but the “my god” stop the pulsing. I started at 323 lbs and had eggs for breakfast. Surprisingly the eggs were great. I then moved on to the raisin and fruit bar then chicken and rice soup with pudding at 3. For dinner I had fish and broccoli again (so wonderful) and I tried to have a mocha shake but it really sucked.

This morning I have called in to work. I really feel like *&&*(*(@. Well you get the picture. My head still pulses and every joint in my body hurts. My voice hurts too. That was starting yesterday and I hope it gets better. I’m going to eat my apple cinnamon oatmeal now. Good luck people and I will write again tonight. By the way, 319 lbs today.

Today is the day

Today I started the Metilife diet. It’s not so bad if you love powdered food. It started this morning with oatmeal. It was ok to smell but after tasting it I realized that it really wasn’t that good. After that I got a snack bar that really was good then chicken soup that was ok. My dinner was wonderful. My wife made tilapia with broccoli that tasted so great. I then had the hot chocolate and for the last meal I had strawberry shake. I’m hungry and cranky and I have to work tomorrow. Today I weigh 327 lbs and I hope that tomorrow I will weigh less. My head is killing me. I have tried to drink a lot of water but I don’t think that I have had enough. So I spent the day starving and watching Dr. House. I hope tomorrow will go by faster and I don’t feel so hungry

Parental responsibility is a thing of the past

Another victory for parents who should not be parents.  Linda Kaiser of Elgin has successfully campaigned to get Roman shades recalled. After losing her child in a tragic accident involving a window blind Mrs. Kaiser started the “Parents for Window Blind Safety” group in the hopes of getting the blinds (that she purchased and apparently let her children play with) recalled.  

Well they are being recalled, good job Linda.  After all why should you have to look after your own children and keep them safe?

One of the first things that my wife and i did after finding out that we were going to have a baby was to go through the house and look for things that could, potentially, be harmful to a baby.  We plugged up outlets, secured this and that, and thought of worst case scenarios to find problems.  We never let our babies play alone and we were always within arm’s reach of our children.  We know that things happen and have tried to keep them from happening.  Every day I have waking nightmares about my child falling and hurting himself or my daughter getting a hold of something that she shouldn't.  This is what keeps me vigilant. This is what keeps my children alive. It’s my job and my wife's job to keep our children from harm. 

This is just one of the many ways that Americans shove off their responsibility and blame others for their problems.

You can read the article here and this was my response, just in case they don't print it.

My response:

Responsible parent

This is a great win for parents who are too lazy to baby proof their own homes. It’s not my fault that I left something that could be deadly within my child’s grasp. Think I’m insensitive, too bad. This kind of thinking is just some of what is wrong with this country. Look I’m sorry the woman lost her child but if she had been paying attention to her little girl, or been proactive and done something about the danger zone of a home that she lives in, then maybe her daughter would be here today. Take some responsibility people and stop blaming others. This was not a toy that was improperly made; this was a something that a child should have never been touching in the first place. Should we recall all tubs because parents let their children alone to drown in them? It’s the same thing people.
