Friday

Each Friday, I have what is called an Admin Day. Basically that means that I don't travel and I am able to spend some time in my office at home to catch up on reports and other things that I need to get done prior to the next week.

I get up... get dressed and go to my office. Today I had a conference call that lasted about an hour. Right now it is about 2pm and I have been working non stop... maybe it is because I would feel guilty if I wasn't working. I think I am going to finish up a little early today. I am getting everything done.

I am feeling better and I know that with time.. things will get better. My ex wife isn't letting me speak to the boys.. because she knows that it hurts me... so.. let's see what happens. I have moments that I am just so happy.. especially when I am working.. I love my job.. I love getting paid for this. I also love M so much.. she must think that it is strange to have me home, but that I don't leave my office for hours.

Each Friday, I will have a chance to come in here and update my blog... maybe more often if I am on the road.

Right now, I am looking out my window.. a window on a beautiful day. the sun is out, it is around 70 degrees and I can see one of the trees in my front yard. I see when the mailman goes by and every now and then someone walks by on the sidewalk. Kids are out of school this week for an October break. My boys are also out of school. I feel better when write them, but I am afraid that they don't get my letters. I called the other day and just left them a message. I hope they heard it.. I know that no matter what their mother says of me.. they will know that I love them.. and that I had to get a better job for not just for me.. but for them too. I know that for me to help them with college.. I needed to be back in the business that will help all of us.

I am happy today... look at all the things in life that I am blessed with. Sure.. those AT&T commercials for the cell phones eat me up... sure i would love to hear my son say "Hi Daddy.." and for me to feel like they were in the room with me.

Let me tell you a little about Tulsa, Oklahoma.. if you have never been here. It is a great city. The people are very very friendly. It is a very religious place and I have been told that more people eat out at restaurants per capita than any other city in the U.S. I believe it.. maybe it is the cost of living, but there is a restaurant on every single corner. There are also over 400 churches and so many hospitals, that they compete for your business... strange... but maybe it's because everyone eats out.

It's a little hard to get used to how dark it is at night.... they don't believe in street lights around here. Not even on the freeways. We live in a newly developed area, so our neighborhood is off of a two lane road that also has very wooded areas and big estates with white fences and huge homes. From my backyard, you see nothing but green acres, trees and green houses. There are houses about 1000 yards away and part of the pasture backs up to a regional park. It is beautiful and quiet.

Today, M and I are going to Lowes to get some paint for our weekend project... painting the living room a Sand color. It's going to look nice.

Well, I better finish up work.. so I can go and take care of my beautiful wife.

Have a great weekend everyone!
