Today was another day of being lazy. Of course it was mothers day and i hadn't bought the wife anything, not even a card. I just woke up and ran out the door and bought everything in the hurry(in the pretense of buying breakfast for us all). She was happy with the figurine i had bought her, and the card was also sweet(according to her). We had a friend over for a dinner(Steak off the grill, and it was good!!), her husband is out to sea, so it was just her and her 1 month old baby. I am now about to end this class project and send it off to the teacher. I hope i have done pretty much what was called for and at least i have tryed :)
Good bye and thanks all!!

Today was a rather fun family day. My wife was gone for a few hours in the afternoon but that was only for a lesson. We went to subway for dinner and then bought some nice cinnamon roles for dessert(which is so delicious), and then decided on bringing the children to watch that cartoon movie "Robots". I thought it was funny and actually enjoyed myself. One thing the me and the wife did notice was that they have more and more hidden jokes for adults in children movies. Luckily we aren't old fashion so doesn't bother us to much. So all together was a rather nice Saturday and wasn't as rainy as it was yesterday. I mean there were different times that it did drizzled but least not down pouring all day long.

Now Playing: That 70's Show
Today was the beginning of my weekend off. Which involved nothing but vegging at home since today was a rather rainy and gloomy day. We did stop off at our local exchange to buy some new movies, which one was the first season of "that 70's show". I love the series and was lucky to find that they had it in stock. So have been and will continue to watch it for this great and wonderful Friday. Hope everyone else had a fantastic Friday also :)

Today is the National Day of Prayer. I just noticed that on the calender, didn't know since i haven't been to church since we have moved here to Yokosuka.
I need to find a church, not because i am overly religious but i would like to instill my beliefs in our children. I know one day they will grow up and make their own choices about their own religious beliefs, but i can try to push them towards ours. I just don't like those Church's which preach like fire and brimstone sermons. Each their own is my motto. Busy being a husband and father so i will leave this off till tomorrow night.

I almost forgot that i had to coach today, but luckily my wife remembers my schedule for me. If i haven't said it before, she is the one who keeps me on task. I really dislike school, and doing schoolwork and such. She keeps at me (nagging really but don't say nothing to her:) and makes sure that i know when something is due and when. I would of failed this class and probably my other(if i haven't already) without her to keep me at it. Tonight is another fun filled one involving work. Does anyone in the military really enjoy their job, at least its keeps the bills paid and the family fed. More tomorrow about another fun filled day.

Mood:  a-ok
Today was another day of coaching for my 3-5 year olds. I think our practice went well, and the parents were also saying the same thing. I am thinking of coaching older children, but the wife is saying that may not be such a great idea. She already complains that i work to much and i guess she doesn't want to to share my time with anyone else unless my children are involved. I am waiting for the flag football to start so i can play also. I told you that i am a big sports person, cant tell can you!?!? I am dreading tomorrow night(work of course!), who likes going back to work after time off? Thats if for today.

Today was another Monday, with nothing much really going on. Took my daughter to her ballet class, and she looks so cute running around doing her dances. On the fifteenth they are having a recital, i think my wife is more excited about it then our almost five year old!! Other then that just looking at my other class conference this week. Its dealing with "Art", or as we are discussing about what is some folklore in the military. He wants us to give some customs that we have in the military and i guess "sea stories". The only thing i think will be a problem is not everyone is in the military but i guess they can find out the information from the Internet. I know several customs but i need to do some background checks on some of my ideas. Thats all for today.

Mood:  irritated
Today was a sleepless day. My wife had a student, so i was left with the our two girls and they weren't letting me sleep. She came home just as i was about to go to work, so i guess i will catch up with my sleep tomorrow. Will finally be nice to have the next two days off, and catching up on my sleep. Nothing else really happened except that i was busy chasing my rug rats and a little tired and i guess edgy. Have to do my rounds.

Mood:  hungry
Well, trying to think out what i want to do for my class presentation. My wife told me to randomly open up our textbook and just pick what subject was in that chapter(which i did). Now i am trying to think of how to put something together. I am not that creative and i know that the grading has to do with whoever has the best presentation sort of leads on how everyone else's grade comes out. Not to sound like a loser or anything, but i know i am not going to do well with this one. I am not artistic in the slightest. Today went with the family to pick out some new furniture. We bought a book self, kitchen hutch, and our children a new dresser. Since we are overseas, everything we bought had small pieces and we had to put it all together ourselves. Never had fun like you do when you put together furniture with your wife with directions that are in a different language :)
My wife is going to call me at work in a bit and tell me to come get some homemade chocolate chips cookies. I love how she spoils me sometimes. Well i am off to do my hourly check.

Mood:  happy
Today we enrolled my baby girl into kindergarten. I feel so confused, i am excited and yet sad to know how she is growing up. It seems just yesterday that she was still running around in diapers and now she will starting school in August. Spent most of the morning time getting alot of paperwork filled out(which was mainly done by my wife) and trying to please the soon to be kindergartner(she wanted some snacks but we only had yen on us). Later that day we also had a school physical for Destiny, just to make sure she didn't need any new shots(which luckily she didn't). Well i am off to work.

Mood:  d'oh

Heres another picture of us at Tokyo Disneyland. Its one of me and my two girls, Destiny and Trinity. Well today i took the test and they made me rewrite the whole paper out. I was like huh. Then i came home and my wife was like do they make you write out two papers when you actually take the exam in class....and i was like no. She was like then you shouldn't of had to do it today. I wasn't thinking if they needed a copy for themselves they should of photocopied it. Sort of makes me mad now because i was sitting there writing out, who knows how many pages of something i had already done. Nothing else much going on, i just need to finish out my exams with tomorrows test. That one should be fun, it involves taking it on a computer and is NOT open book. Off to study for it, i think i am going to fail.

There is one of the pictures of my girls in Disneyland. Well tonight no work but i do have to teach baseball to all the little children. Sometimes i wish i wasn't teaching the younger ones, but its nice to have that time to spend with my daughter. I am thinking of joining flag football, try to bring back my glory days of high school. Sometimes i wish i had gone on to play football in college but the right schools weren't coming around for where i wanted to go. I also wouldn't of met my wife. Always a up and down to everything in life, isn't there. I need to make sure i get enough rest tonight so i can get this exam done. I was suppose to take two exams(get both done and out of the way) but they called today and told me i would have to do the other one on Friday. This one is still Thursday so i still have to get up early. I am hoping they just let me turn the exam in typed up already. Will have to wait and see. Well off to do other things now.

Mood:  hug me
Well the exam date is coming up closer and closer. I take mine this Thursday. Okay, okay...yes our teacher did give our exam out early so i guess i shouldn't fuss, in fact i should be enthusiastic because my other teacher wont even let us use our books. Mrs. Aleta is very fair and gives us more then enough chances at everything. I haven't had a single issue or anything for that matter with her. I hope in my future classes my teachers are easy to get along with and conferences are just as friendly. I know each teacher has their own teaching abilities and methods. I don't want to go on to much about my other class but i still don't get him(my other teacher) sometimes. It might just be me, but from how it looks in the class i don't think that it is just me. Alright i am done fussing about him once again. I am surprised about keeping this "blog" or journal, lets me get some of my feelings out and sort of a tell all sometimes. Of course this is for my class project and i hope this is acceptable for her to take. I haven't asked her if it is but i assume it wouldn't be a problem. I may need to ask her sometime in the future but i will probably forget. My wife gets angry at me sometimes about that, she has to make sure she sends me with a list to the store, and it has to tell me exactly what she wants otherwise she is out of luck. Been bugging my wife about downloading our pictures to Disneyland so maybe in tomorrows post i will have some pictures of our adventure. All i know its fun going out in another country and having fun with your family, everyone should try it at least once in their life. Well i am off to work.

The clip is from the other day of my oldest daughter Destiny. Well once again its another Monday. Another day of work and a new day of class, you got to love it. This week is just our exam week. I always have problems with taking tests, not my best subject area ever. How can society or whoever expect a ones size test to fit all. Different people pick up different things. In truth i don't think tests really tell you how well someone is doing. I am one of those that always do horrible on them and hope that i pass all my courses. My wife is always pushing me to go to school, otherwise i would say forget it. I was talking yesterday in my blog about getting out, my wife has informed me unless i have a degree of some sort i can forget that. LOL So here i am about to finish this semester out and start another. I think i am going to take less classes then i have this term due to i don't do to well with this distance education thing, so maybe next year i will try to sit in class and see how that goes. Well off to work to enjoy another day of not getting enough sleep, due to i work all night. : )
My oldest Daughter Destiny

My baby girl Trin Trin


Added another clip of us going to the park. Todays was fun running around after the girls. They are so cute, scared when they grow up. All you have to do is read the news about girls growing up younger and younger and makes me sick. I want to just throw them in the close so they are never harmed by anyone out there. I have two beautiful little girls, i love them more then i can imagine. Every moment i have with them is amazing. Sometimes due to working in the navy, I don't get to see them as much as i would like. I am talking with my wife about getting out of the military. I cant stand being away for months at a time anymore. The only major problem is worrying about health care and pay. The military actually does well in both those areas and I haven't worked in the civilian factor in such a long time, that we are unsure of what to do. All i know is i cant handle being away from my family for long periods of time. I did it for 6 years before i got this shore duty time. Well enough on that for now.

Mood:  don't ask
Well we got toasted last night or at least i did. My head feels like someone is beating some drums in my head and i just want them to stop. Its actually late afternoon and i have slept in all day. Some Japanese man ( the same one we met before) paid for everything last night. He actually kept buying everything for my wife which was a little weird. I don't know, maybe in his culture its alright to be friendly and buy gifts for another mans wife. Truthfully i didn't mind, because my wife is attractive and i know she wouldn't run off with anyone else, especially a Japanese guy. She is doesn't find shorter people attractive so i guess that is good for me. Other then that the kids are pleasantly being well behaved and not making to much noise. The wife is making us something to eat and handling them, so i have to remember to thank her : ) Well thats all for today. Just going to enjoy my weekend and wait till Monday for the new class conference to come up.

Mood:  happy
Well easy day so far, no work and the wife and children let me sleep this morning. I feel more rested then i have in a while. We took the girls out to play and actually had fun just chasing them around. Course we spent time having to chase down my friend Kevin so he can go out with us also(the more the merrier). My daughter Destiny got upset when she found out that "Uncle Kevin" wasn't going to stay and play with her. So now i am waiting for my wife to get her makeup(put it on) and hair done(brush it). Ready to go out and have a little fun and just relax.

Mood:  happy
Been sitting at work and the wife called me about going out tomorrow night. Evidently a friends of hers found a karaoke place that is pretty cheap, where you can drink all you want for a hour(or more if you choose). So we have a sitter set up and we are all going to go out singing, and drinking. Sort of nice to be able to go out and have fun lately. Sometimes people just need to have fun and besides i love karaoke :) Nothing much happened today, just have work now and will get in about the time my wife wakes up. At least i have a three day weekend this week ( I ended up because they switched my schedule back to nights). I am not upset about it because in a way i get to see my family more often but i am always worn out. My family wont let me sleep if i am home!! My wife trys but you know how kids are, home and they want to play with him. Well i have to go make my rounds.

Mood:  spacey
Well they decided to switch the schedules due to Silva being sent back to the states, so now i am night shift. Which means i am tired all the time(during the day with the kids and taking care of business) and at night having to work. Fun times:(
My wife is enrolling our daughter next week in school so here comes kindergarten. Crazy to think of but my little girls are growing up so quick. So Jessica is enrolling in online courses for the next semester coming up and also thinking of maybe going back to work part-time. However we have our youngest daughter to think of and i don't think she is ready to be put in a large group of children. It seems so impersonalized. Just at 13 months from being at home she is far ahead then most kids her age(physically and mentally). Jessica thinks she needs more interaction with children her own age but seems to me like her older sister is good for now. Oh well that is something we will have to think about in the next few months.

Mood:  irritated
Well being kept busy with my other class, anthropology for the most part. Sometimes i don't understand what he wants. He asks one question and you answer it but no thats not what he wants, its almost like he is analyzing us. Thats not what his job is, i mean i have other things besides school to do and he acts like this is the only thing i should worry about. I check into the class almost everyday and sorry if i don't always say something. I don't say anything if i don't feel like what i had to say would contribute to it in anyway, like yes i agree or don't doesn't make much sense. Okay i think I have unloaded that for the day, otherwise I am fine. He grades after every week and it said that i wasn't coming to class often enough, and it just threw me for a loop there. I mean this weeks subject just came to mind, like why should i spend all my time between school and work with none left for my family. I want to be able to provide for them, but i also would love to be able to see them during waking hours :) Today was also another day of coaching, went really well except my daughter Destiny gave up before the class ended. Well i am off for today.
