Where has the time gone

Time fly's when you're having fun I guess, I finally found some time to post a messege, we've been quite busy this month with 4 birthday parties, we've also been go go for a few weeks now.
Wee-Man had his 1st Birthday last week (May 16th) and Madame had her's (May 18th) I better not mention how old she's turned she might send me to the shed to sleep there for the Summer. I'm not sure where this year has gone. it feels like yesterday we were calling up all the family and Friends saying he's finally here. We had a big party for him, 30 or more Family and Friends showed up to celebrate with us. we had a BBQ in the backyard enjoying the sunshine and warm weather we've been waiting for all winter long. I got to use my new BBQ that I've been waiting all winter to break out. That's not true I broke it out a month or so a go. I've used this BBQ more in the last month then i used my old one in the last 3 years.
There i go again drifting away from myself. I've also returned to work last week. it's been nice being off that's for sure but it's great to be getting a paycheck again, you don't realize how tough it is to keep yourself balanced when your not getting the wage your used to getting. I guess the key is to have the mind set that you're only getting half of the wage that you are getting then you'll find it a touch easier to balance yourself. I do say this though if you are planning a Pat/Mat leave start putting money away now that way it's not as much of a blow when people are knocking on your door for those bills you still have to pay while your off.
Back to Wee Man poor kid is a Spitting image of me, I don't like to admit but i guess I'm kind of Cheeky. I really see a lot of me in him he has that look when he knows he's going to do something he shouldn't looks back at you and there's the smirk. We've started to notice a lot in the past little while he's not a baby anymore he's becoming a little boy, and with that i can already see we're going to have our hands full once he lets go of the furniture and walking on his own.

Cell

I got a letter in the mail yesterday from my cell phone provider about how loyal I've been and here's an offer for a Fancy Upgrade. So I made that call, i said right off the hop, i want a simple phone where I can call and maybe send a few texts, I don't want to search the internet on my phone that's what i do here in the comforts of my own home. The only way i would get a fancy phone is If i had my own business, Which i don't, if my work provided it. or like some people I know are always on the road and it's the best way for him not to feel sheltered. Do you know what p[hone i do miss though, the old school plug in ones that you plug into your lighter in the car, or the huge ones that are 3 times the size of a block of cheese, those were awesome. I went with the basic model, I went to pick one up today and she didn't have any in stock. her only 1 she had sold yesterday, which made me feel good in a strange way because I'm not the only one that is buying into the fancy phones.
I'm getting better at questioning people when they get these fancy phones. it's usually me asking What would you need that for? but it's a losing battle for me because it's happening all around me, there popping up everywhere so there's no sense in fighting it and just except that this is going to happen. I'm already planning the day my son asked me if he can get a cell. I have already let him know that both his mother and i didn't get cells until we were in our twenties so you'll have to wait til you get a job, or your license where you will only use it for emergency purposes.we will also have an extra one around for when they go out with friends and he needs a ride home or just a call saying hey I'm staying at Charlie's tonight.
The price is what gets me some of the people tell me what there paying for a month, that's 1 of the reason's I'm down grading so i can put my money other places like grocery's. I also understand that there cell maybe there only phone.
I don't think it's right for everyone to have a cell phone, It can get used in some bad a sometimes stupid ways. my Children will have to prove to us that they are responsible enough to make good decisions while using the phone, or anything really.
