Daily Trials and tribulations of Lamar
The life of Lamar Jiles is not a easy one. So lets talk, when I wake up in the morning(at the crack of dawn by the way)its usually to my 10 month old banging on the crib laughing. So then I try to kick my beautiful wife and tell her to get him because I'm still tired but no one is there. she left 20 minutes ago to work. So I drag myself out the bed, change his diaper get him dressed and get myself dressed. take a hour drive down the same country road everyday,(see some hay, see some cows, see some horses.) The worst thing is sometime the Amish people get in front of me in their hoarse and buggy and go so slow. Now I'm rushing to be to work on time. I'm in the military so you have to be punctual. Then once I get to work I am the food inspector for my base (sigh). If I'm not shutting down McDonald's its Subway and if its not subway its that same man who keeps trying to sell fried chicken out the trunk of his car, and he is in the military. Once a hard day of work is done I go to the gym for a little bit and dunk on people all day. I leave go get my son make my way back down the long road and hope not to see a cart and buggy. Once I get home I have to feed the little one again. Can't forget the splatter shield or else he will re-decorate the walls. I take a shower, eat and kiss the wife. Time for bed. I'm so lucky to get that 4 hours every night. Wake up and do it all over again. Signing out Lamar

Hi Lamar!
ReplyDeletealthough you say this with a sigh, I am jealous of anyone who gets to see cows every morning! I would be late for work every day because I would stop to pet and feed them, they are so sweet! I love the smell of cows and hay,its so earthy. Horses on the other hand,very pretty to look at but also a little scary. They seem so angry. I would be too if I were a horse.If some able-bodied human made me tote them around,that's bad enough but add the kicking and rein pulling, well, not nice. Next time you pass a cow,ask her if shes"got milk?",they love when we say that.Next time you pass a horse,ask him if HE wants a ride,its a nice gesture.I embarrass my husband when I say "aye" to the Canadian geese in a really bad French-Canadian accent.
Hi Lamar,
ReplyDeleteYou forgot to drop your son off at the baby sitters or daycare. You picked him up on your way home . . . but I did not read where you dropped him off. This left me wondering if you changed his diaper and left him at home or with the cows?
I am so excited to be here in your blog finally!
Good luck with promoting healthy food for the military! At least you are not off in some god-forsaken country eating MREs.
If my husband had ever changed diapers and dropped off and picked up the kids from daycare, I would still be with him! :-) Of course, I can see why you would want to please your beautiful wife. :-)
Stay clear of those Amish buggies!
Lamar be thankful you have the opportunity for someone to slow you down. One night going home from work on a small county road I was the last in the line of several vehicles on their way home (or to the bar maybe) and I just followed, did not pay attention to my speed. Well you guessed her Chester; I was caught by “the man”, $183 caught. Well I offered to wait there while he went after the others, but he preferred to remain in my company. The mail lesson I learned from this was if you are going like a bat out of hell, make sure you are not THE LAST BAT!!!
ReplyDeleteCorrection - main lesson
ReplyDeleteLamar,
ReplyDeleteReally?! Fried chicken out of a trunk. That is very interesting to say the least. My husband is in the military as well and I have to say I have never seen that one before. I enjoyed your post.
