A Moment Of Silence

A couple weeks ago I was watching Tater and put her to bed at her normal time; this is when I’m able to have some alone time to do what I enjoy doing…play video games. I was all pumped up and threw GTA4 in to my Xbox. Once the disc was inserted into the Xbox, three red lights on the controller indicator started flashing…THE RED RING OF DEATH!!!!!! This software malfunction renders the Xbox useless and it has to be shipped out and fixed. I was devastated and I’m still anxiously awaiting its arrival from the repair shop. With that said I would like to take a moment of silence and personally thank Microsoft for creating such an amazing video game council that is ferociously addictive, excellent for wasting time and that I’m only allowed to play when my wife is not around. So basically the one release I have when watching my girl when she is asleep is no longer around right now….Thank you Microsoft. I think I’ll take up juggling or I’m thinking of purchasing a unicycle, HECK, I’ll get both, I guarantee Tater will like watching that and I’m pretty sure my wife would rather me do that then play Xbox, I’ll let you know if I get a few new hobbies. Anyway, we took Sadie swimming this past Sunday at a public beach and we all had a blast. When I say blast I mean we had a good time and we were blasted by a massive thunderstorm. We were all having fun swimming, splashing and playing in the water when we noticed a menacing storm cloud racing towards us from across the lake. We all saw it and starting running out of the water as quickly as we could, I was caring Tater. As soon as we got to the shore the storm unleashed its fury; rain, hail, lighting and thunder came thrashing at us full force. We grabbed our towels and bags from the beach, which were already soaked and made our way to the car. The rain and hail were coming so hard that it was hitting us at a horizontal angle, once I obtained the keys to the car I ran to it backwards so that I could shield the oncoming weather from Tater. While we all were running to the car screaming, “hurry up” Tater was laughing, singing and having a good old time in the mitts of temporary chaos. We made it to the car but we were soaked and covered in sand. No one was hurt and Tater enjoyed herself immensely.
Tater received a new car a few days ago and LOVES it, she sits in a nice little drivers seat with a seat belt, steering wheel and horn, there is an elevated handle in the rear that allows my wife or I to push her around, which we now do constantly up and down our side walks. Tater can’t get enough of it and love rolling past our neighbors waving to them like she’s on a float.
