Whats Up?
Yo, it has been a while since I blogged just thought I would drop a line, he he. We have been really busy & all with the boys both in baseball & church activities so little time. I have been doing some remodeling @ the house the dining room is all tore up with no sheet rock. I worked on my wife's car today got the door handle fixed in the front inside, but the rear outside door handle is tough especially with my man hands. Who designs these parts? How small do you have to be to work inside a door from a car it is so much trouble. I have a solution though I have a saws all at work that will help me get access to the part that I need. We had a praising service last night at church it was pretty cool, people just testifying on what Jesus has done for them. I had never been in a service like that. Work has been steady not too busy though.@ work we are done with the girl scout Cookies & about to finish with the phone books. Life is just passing us by like nothing I hope you have done something for God. It just seems like not enough hours in the day to get things done, I need to take a couple of days off to work on the house but I have been stalling. I really want to finish the house, but I don't want to use my vacation days to work on the house, but I will do what I have to do. Today I wanted to be with my honey for lunch , she had other plans , but she changed them, thank you baby. My house is a mess right now I feel ridiculously so overwhelmed with work. The strong wind blew off some of my shingles from the roof, bummer. I need to finish the Kitchen 1 more window to trim & set up the pane & I am done with the kitchen. I have not started the living room, just put trim around the huge A/C unit I have in the wall to make it a little fancy. I still have to do all the floors lay down Masonite then some tile then base board trim then there is one window to trim in the living room. Then I have to start the dining area where my wife took out the Sheetrock & we found a surprise, it used to be a porch they just enclosed it so it is all messed up. I have to put in a new door & a window then lay down Masonite & tile then all the trim around windows & door. Oh I forgot I have to put wiring in the new dining area it has no electricity so I have to run some wire & install all new outlets & light fixture. Not done yet I have to put on some shingles in the roof I haven't checked to see if my home owners insurance covers it. Then my wife wants me to install 2 yes 2 washers in the shed that is about to fall out back. She thinks this will help her do laundry more quickly, so I told her I would do it, so I have to run water lines & electricity to the other side of the shed too. I still haven't washed my truck or car in a while well the car mainly I have put it off so long. My truck is dirty inside haven't had a chance to vacuum it. Just pray for me I feel a little over whelmed, sorry to pour out so much & making this go on & on but I had to vent it out. I am trying to work on the house & car after work but it seems like I will never catch up, maybe with the time change I will have more daylight to work with, but remember the funds can only go so far. Well I am turning in already tonight due to the fact that I am really exhausted, but I cant let my family know how I feel I have to show the boys to keep going forward in life. I was fixing the kitchen when Mike was in there & I told him "You see all this that daddy is doing to the house, You better go to college, you better get an education, and buy yourself a a decent house that it wont take up your time & if it does you better know how to fix it." He just smiles & walks away & says "OK, Daddy", not a care in the world, to be young again with no responsibilities "DEEP SIGH" Laters till I write again my dear friends & fellow bloggers keep in touch don't be strangers, & remember me in your prayers I will greatly appreciate it. I will pray now for you guys, lots of Love.

Oh Juan, I am so sorry you're so loaded down, but you gave us the answer as to why, right there in your post. The reason you're feeling overwhelmed is you're exhausted. Get some rest. Tomorrow you will see things in a different light and they won't look so bad. You have to be pretty proud of what you've already accomplished. I am and I haven't even seen it yet. Keep up the good work.
Well Juan have you ever heard of Fly Lady? She helps people get organized and brother I love ya but I'm thinking it's time for you to get some organizational/time management skills going there... try www.flylady.com
Have fun!!
What's with the "YO"????
@ gramma, thanks I never thought of that, I guess I will have to take some days off. I asked the boss to lend me a saw that I need to cut all the trim in angles & he said yes so I don't have to cut all the trim by hand.
@ rhonda, I will check that website out to see if I can get some tips. Thanks.
@ Cgril, yo, sup, I didn't know how to start my post last night so I figured I would start like when I talk to a friend, I wasn't going to post it I was just going to type it out then erase it like I have done in the past, but I thought it was blog worthy.
I just thought it was funny you said that well, blogged that. But I am glad you finally blogged
ah juan I'm glad you shared all that. your such a hard worker and i volunteer to help you in any way i can, and no im not just trying to get in. i know, i know, your thinking help from a girl pffft. really though i'll be thinking of you all. love you guys!
@ cgirl, yeah I needed to blog it was beginning to be all dead on the blogs
@ lucy, thanx you can help & not a pffft cuz your a girl seems nowadays women are alot stronger than men well some men don't like to get there hands dirty, hey my wife is proof I have seen her working with me , & Mrs Kim, she is the first girl I have seen other than my wife that can tough it out with the guys, doing all things like tape & float & other construction work.
Happy to see you in the neighborhood of BLOGS! As I read, all could think was thank God that you are able to make time for everything and also that you have the knowledge, the health, and the ability to do all of that. You are a valuable man to be able to do all of that. And still be a role model to your sons! Abel's motto: Jack of all trades, but a master of none. So Juan, keep on truckin'!I will pray for you. :)
@adri, thanx, Abel's motto is so true jack of all trades master of none. Again thanx for UR prayers
