Real Quick Like.
Ok, I said when I got back that we are not the greatest picture taker, and we have lived up to the billing since I have been home. Usually, it is because the dang batteries are always DEAD when I get time to take a picture. So instead of rehashing Iraq, I won't, unless I am in the mood.
Case i point, today I went to the kids school and they have been having these Olympics along with the real Olympics, and today was the closing ceremony and I guess they needed a "War Hero" to help put the medals on the kids. SO I got dressed up and went from work. Well, I gave Missy the camera that I for sure brought with so I wouldn't forget, and I should have made sure the batterys weren't dead, casue as it was starting I see Missy wave in the back, "The batterys are dead!" Dang it!
And putting medals on with me were SGT Dahlblom, who I brought with and we also had a real Olympic hero, from the 1972 US Olympic Hockey Team with a Silver Medal from Sapporo Japan. That was cool, so I got to hold an Olympic Silver medal. That was cool for me. I also got to put a Bronze Medal around Madisons neck and a Silver around Hunters! Very Proud I am of them, and as I was doing it to Madison, she made it VERY clear to me to Please don't hug her in front of the whole school. Well, thanks Madison, I think I WILL! Both of them didn't want me to hug them in front of their friends! I tried, and gave half hugs!
When I get pics from the gym teacher I will post them!
Oh yeah, I won $50 on a scratch off tonight, was I suppose to tip the convenience store worker? Gosh, I didn't, but should I have?
Have a great night!
Later,
Erik

Yeah, tip him for being able to tear it off the preforated roll??? I think NOT! (So I am a little angry today!)
Know what you mean about the battery issue... I think Duracel, Energizer, Rayovac - they are all crap... what is it - the "lets see who can scam people for as much money as (insert oil company)" business mentality?
Finally - on a positive note... glad you had a good day bein' a hero! MacDaddy Enrique had an olympic moment - GRAND! No really, I am happy for you - sounds like an interesting day - I am GLAD you embarassed your kids by trying to hug them! Fa' Shizzow!
Glad you had fun with the kids today - that's always cool - and it's cool to be hugged by your Dad no matter how old you are... (maybe one doesn't realize that until you are older - sorry Madison - but it's cool to get hugs from your parents!)
$50 you are a lucky guy! Tip the clerk? really? I had no idea..
I would not type anyone lol you won it fair and square. LOL Man that sounds neat they never do neat things like that at my kids schools none of them mind you. LOL glad you had a good time!
Tip the clerk at the gas station? Hell no! LOL.
As for the camera, I can't imagine my husband even bringing a camera, much less checking batteries. In our household I'm the one that does all that... if I forget, it's my problem. ;)
Don't beat yourself up too much. The school will give you photos and there ya go!
PS:
In regards to your comment to me this morning... no, don't dig for it. Seriously. Save it for MB yourself! :)
Looking forward to the pictures!
I do not think you are supposed to tip the clerk, but I know you are supposed to mail me 50% of all winnings.
