Well today we went to the zoo. Tyler now is watching the animals. He walked all over until he fell going down a ramp. He cut his upper lip and split his lower lip. He was bleeding all over the place. We wiped it up and he quit crying in a few seconds. Well I decide the with my Christmas money I’d buy an Ipod. So I got a 30 gig Video Ipod. The hard part about it is Joanna and I have to share Itunes. So we had to fix Joanna’s so that it didn’t use the library to update her Ipod. Tyler has been throwing temper-tantrums latterly. He so dramatic when he’s throwing a temper-tantrum. He throws him self backwards hitting his head on the floor and crying to beat the band. It hard not to want to hold or pick him up when he dose it. But I know that if we do that every time he dose it we’ll have an ever-bigger problem latter. Well tomorrow I plan on going to the Sprit of Joy church with Russ and Angie. I stayed up until 2am playing with my new toy.

Well Joanna and Tyler let me sleep in. I got up and did make it to church. The service was more about social conciseness then about god. I will give it time with this church but at this point I think this church may not meet the needs I have. I want a church that realizes they are not the only people here. That there are other religions out there and that if they don’t practice the same as me they go to hell. This church seems to do that but I want to learn more about god and Jesus. I want to learn the meaning of Christianity and how it relates to today’s world. I have decide to attend this church for awhile because Russ and his family like the church and I don’t think one or two sermons gives you an accrete picture of the church. I don’t know where this search for a church will lead me but with god at the helm I know I’m in good hands. Well after church we decide to go get lunch at Applebee’s. I picked up Joanna and Tyler and we headed that way. Then I got in an accident. The guy in front of me acted like he was going to cross the street, so I kept moving forward then he stopped and backed up and hit me. The van has a lot of damage but no one was hurt. It just feels like every time we start to get ahead something like this happens not that it will set us back but it would be nice to keep what little money we do have. So it took longer to get there and then I spent some time on the phone with state farm. I know that this time next week it’ll look like it did before the accident. After we ate we decide or I decide that we’d go to best buy and see if they would match the deal target had on the Ipod I just bought. They told me no so I went to target and bought one from them and returned it to best buy. I just wish these big companies would quit acting like their customers don’t matter. For me it the principle of the matter, and saving ten percent of the price is also a motivating factor. Then Russ, Angie and JR came over for dinner. We have decided to try to make it a weekly thing that one of us has dinner for the other one. I love the fact that Joanna’s family is so close by that we can do stuff like that. I real miss the fact that I can do that with my family. When my parents live in Bloomington we us to go over and see them once a week by now that their up north we go about once a month. I’m big on family. Tomorrow I’m going to workout in the morning.
