Yeah I'm pretty fortunate because my kids help out a lot around the house for only being 8 and 10. They've got chores and they have to keep their rooms clean, beds made, dirty clothes put in the hampers, clean clothes put away, etc.

Luckily, I'm heading out this weekend for another jaunt in the truck for a while. Got some stuff to pick up at Home Depot and Lowes. Then it's on to Target and Best Buy for a couple of things. I've also go to load up about two tons of mulch on the trailer and pull it to the house for some landscaping.

Some of our "It takes a village" people would probably call CPS on you for abusing those young adults !!!!

But keep on doing the right thing and they will have a sense of self worth instead of self loathing like some of the losers we see on the news every night !

Thanks guys. I've got a great wife and three great kids.....can't ask for much more than that.

Well yesterday was another abysmal failure. A long day combined with not getting to drive my truck made it suck pretty badly.

I'm going to take her for a spin tonight regardless though.
