Mouth full

So I guess you could say that I "bit off more than I could chew" The big job is finally over and last night about 6 pm... Wanting to go home and see my wife before she left for CA. I sat there and looked at the 228 feet of xrays that I didn't have shelving for and just wanted to cry. I don't have shelving to put them on. I thought I did, but discovered that the metal for the shelving wasn't enough. The carts that the xrays are on are rented and the company is coming Monday morning at 9 Am to pick them up. Feeling terribly overwhelmed and feeling like I had my mouth full and just needed a drink but my mouth was so full that I couldn't get it down. I finally realized that I was just worn out. I have never been this worn out in my life. 12 hours a day for 2 weeks with no lunch on some days. That will do it. So I decided to call the crate company and tell them my predicament. The salesman was willing to give me 2 more days for free on the crates so I could figure it out. So I went home got home about 7:30 and ate dinner with my wife. I have an idea about what to do with the xrays, but it is going to require another full day today, with my boys with me. I can do it! does anyone know a good house keeper? I need one this week and maybe even a nannny and a cook.:)

no time

there is no time for blogging. although will take 44 seconds to ask for agreement on a meeting that I am having on Wed @ 10:30 for an account with WTH. Big thank you to Joel for helping me out of a huge jam. This man is what the Kingdom should be like. Thanks Joel.

Iraq War Succes

I copy this from my brothers blog. I diddo everything he says:

I know this may make many of you do a double take but the Iraq War is something that makes me very proud of America. If you actually read the MSM (mainstream media) for your news you'll think I'm crazy. I ignore all MSM including foxnews.com (most of their articles are AP anyway). The reason I ignore all of them is because none of them actually report what is going on, they report on headlines. I read things published and said by actual Iraqi's and that is what makes me proud and optimistic about what is happening in Iraq.

About a year or two ago when Al Qaeda starting attacking random civilians I instantly said we had the victory in Iraq so as long as we stayed patient because terrorism would quickly lose favor with the people and now 90%+ of the people in Iraq oppose Al Qaeda. That is even more the case today as Al Qaeda has expanded their enemies to include Sunnis in Anbar. These Sunnis used to be their hosts but now these Sunnis and Al Qaeda are attacking each other and the Sunnis (police, sheiks, and tribes) are winning. For details read what an Iraqi has to say.


The thing that is even better about this is that it is being done in coordination with the national government.

Another interesting piece of news is that the majority of Iraqi's prefer the current situation with all the bombs vs life under Saddam. Only 25% prefer life under Saddam and they are mostly Sunni. This is really interesting to me since things in Iraq are supposed to be horrible according to the MSM.

75% of Iraqi's do not think they are in a civil war. Many American's and our MSM think Iraq is in civil war but Iraqi's don't even think so.

A great majority of Iraqi's are optimistic about their future and are satisfied with their current government.

halfway

The row of cabinets down the middle is where we are putting the xrays and some over to the side.



The big move is half over and I can feel it in every muscle and bone in my body, and so can all the rest of the guys. My forearms must feel like Popeyes. My back feels like I am in a straight jacket and if you have never had a cramp between your shoulder blades I don't recommend it. through all the hard work it is worth every minute. Rib and all. Today one of the orange carts that we use to move the xrays some how rolled up on my ankle. Andrew was pushing and I was pulling it up the hall way and Andrew felt resistence so he pushed harder and when he did my foot was in the way. It is a literal miracle that the 900 pound cart didn't crush my foot or leg. the amazing thing is that my high top boots were laced up tight and my foot slipped out just enough for my toes to be curled up in the heal of my boot and the toe of my boot was bent underneath the sole and was touching the heal of the boot. Andrew couldn't budge the weight and I could tell that I was holding some of it on my ankle. I didn't know what to do. We were in the basement and no one was around. I said, Jesus help me, and as soon as I did a man came around the corner out of no where with a 2 wheel cart or dolly and pried the cart off my leg, bending the lip of his dolly like a tin can. I know I had an angle holding off the pressure. I just got home and took my boot off and there is no swelling just a little sore.
We were curious so we weighed the xrays and they weigh 9 pounds per inch. No wonder my neck muscles are cramping. I am beat. I pray that I can find a way to get some sleep. Peace to all

not me

I haven't been lately myself. The meds have really messed with me. today I was showing a new employee how to do something and I was just starring at the screen for a few moments and she asked me if i was okay. I wasn't home. I had to shake the cobwebs out and continue with the task. At life group tonight I was messing up words and doing funny and odd things. I have never been drunk, or even drank but I think I was a little tipsy. The meds have worn off now and here I go again. I can't sleep again. I don't want to take any meds again tonight, so I will work some more on the ole talk for the BFW.
I had a pretty nice day for the biz. It started off with about 2 hours of tech support hold music and some dude from India trying to walk me through something to fix the problem. I had 2 meetings today from 2 more new 'out of the blue' calls, which will turn a nice prof. the guys got a lot of the "big Job" moved and I tried to keep 6 employees on task.
Rach and I ate lunch with Payton for his birthday today and we totally didn't do anything today for our anniversary. We do have a little game going to see how many family members remember that it's our anniversary on Payton's birthday when they call him. 1 out of 4 remembered. 1 better than last year. cheers all and good night.

it's official

Today is March 21st. Big deal. You are thinking. It is to me. 6 years ago today my oldest son was born all natural. No inducing. 9 years ago Today I married my fiance.
Just like tonight I didn't sleep much the night before either of those events though the reasons for not sleeping are so different the no sleep is much the same. Then it wasbecause I was anxious. Now it is because I have some sort of pain in my ribs and any pressure on them causes more pain and discomfort. To see what I am talking about try taking a knife and put it on your bed then lay on it so that the blade stabs you in the ribs. Not too comfy is it? I haven't slept well in over a week. Today I worked about 11 hours. It's great! I enjoy my work. I am in a season of harvest right now and am not complaining by any means. One set of circumstances seem to not let another set of circumstances be enjoyed as much. I am careful to not let any unwholesome talk come out of my mouth. I am healed in Jesus name. I don't care what my body feels like, it is healed.
I am also, on top of all of this, trying to prepare my talk for the BFW. Not much success here. I have to have it ready to be critiqued by saturday morning. Rachel has a sleep over friday night. Wednesday night is life group, Thursday night we are going to Ghattis for paytons birhtday. I don't see any window of opportunity to preapre a talk. There is no time for a date with the wife for our anniversary. I am glad I took that vacation when I did. Oh, and I will be short handed at work for two days this week, during the most busy time in 5 years, because of my AWESOME son of the business Jesse taking his vacation, which he very much deserves. I do have a great crew of guys helping with an 8 day move of a new account we just got, so I am not too concerned about that, it's just the keeping up with all the day to day requests that I am a little rusty on. What's funny about all of this is that I don't have a financial need at all in all of this, but it seems like I am facing a much bigger obstacle than any financial need I have ever faced. I believe I will never want for anything ever again. enough of this.

just a rib

I recently took a snowboarding trip and on a scale of 1-10 10 being a pro and 1 being flat aweful. I am a 5. I wrecked on the first few runs and thought that I had broken a rib. The pain was almost unbearable. I continued for the rest of the day and the next and just couldn't stand the pain any longer and went to the car for nap.
Laughing hurt, coughing hurt, laying in bed hurt. I didn't sleep for 2 nights. I went to the dr to get some drugs for the pain and they x-rayed and couldn't determine if any ribs were actually broken. Gave me some wicked nasty pain meds that make me weird and sleepy, but they do numb the pain. I can't think of anything that could be more painful than this constant pain.
Today at church Evan was sick with tummy and fever pain. He wanted me to hold him which I couldn't do without the feeling of a knife in my side. So I elected to take him home before church started. We were both pretty tired and fell asleep in the easy chair. Tomorrow I start my big job and can't really lift anything, which I need to be able to do. I did some lifting Friday that was really dumb, because now it hurts worse.
I need a miracle.... Fast!

Help!

We are overrun with work. If you know anyone with arms, legs and a head on their shoulders. I could use them. I have hired 3 guys and need another one and an office worker. We have landed 4 accounts in the last week and I have been gone for 3 days and jesse was sick one day. One of the accounts I got is one where I have to make copies of records and send them to patients. Thank you Jesus for your goodness.

Abortion Celebration March 10th

This makes me literally sick. The national abortion federation wants to recognize March 10th as a celebration for those who provide abortions. Yeah, lets give three cheers for those who are killing the next generations. WHAT! the $#@^# is going on. Lets pray that these people have a radical encounter with Jesus.

it rains

Since I posted last. I have had 3 phone calls out of the blue. That makes 5 in the last 2 weeks. This never happens. I have had 5 calls out of the blue in the last 5 years combined. 2 of the 3 calls have been from companies on the list. I think prayer must work. Rekon? Thanks for your unity.
