Take a step back and remember while your glass may be half-empty, it is also half-full. Life's little pleasures serve to remind me. Here's a couple of noteworthy (to me!) little things that brought a smile to my face this weekend.
- after sharpening the 3 blades on the lawn tractor (big PITA and long overdue), it was working so good I cut a nice baseball diamond pattern on the back yard and had a quick game with the kids.
- got the pool cover on and the plumbing winterized this year BEFORE the leaves started to fall and, BONUS!!, then it hit me - I finally figured out how to get the cover OFF in the spring when it's full of stanky water and debris without contaminating your pool water or breaking a sweat. Just pump water into the pool until crud in the cover floats up and off over the sides! Duh! []

I got drunk on Saturday and forgot that I was in Mississppi and went out dancing with some natives from here and got my balls shined with thier bottocks. Oh and I also beat these losers in Texas Hold'em that day and took home the pot. I'm Iron Rice Beotch! Get my drink Beotch!
My 5-year old went to a birthday party this weekend that was held at a BMX track. He just recently got off his training wheels so I wasn't sure how he would do. Well, he was quite scared in the beginning and took a big spill falling backwards going up a steep hill pretty early on so I figured he was done for the day. But, after sitting out and icing his busted lip he got right back up and rode the course a few more times. Sure, he still needed help in some areas, but I was one proud daddy!
Watching my 2-year-old son get all excited about riding a two-wheel bike (with training wheels) and seeing him ride off throughout the store - without hitting anything.
Or seeing the look in his eyes when I offer to let him "drive" my car.
Or the scream of 'Daddy!' when I open door after work, quickly followed by the biggest hug he can give.

This is my favorite part of the day. I get jumped by all three of my little ones when I walk in the door.
[] Enjoy it while you can, it doesn't last forever. On Friday, I only had three dogs to jump me...wife and one son off at soccor game, another son at hockey practice, and daughter at school working on the Homecoming Parade float. And, *sigh*, when we are all together, it often seems like someone is making plans to go do something. Sometimes I feel like Al Bundy on the couch handing out $$$ to everyone as they pass out the door! Take LOTS of pics, I wish there were digiCams 15 years ago!

Another way to get the water off is to use a pump and pump it off. A lot quicker and you direct where you want the water to go. That is what we used to do when I was a kid.
