a sad day

So these aren't actual pictures of the moment, but you can imagine what it would be like if the were...


before plumbing again...




after plumbing again...


Yes its true, I started plumbing again. Basically it's hard to make ends meet when you don't make any money, so I needed a steady income so we could eat, and going back to plumbing was pretty much my last resort... I'm not kidding, my last resort. I tried to think of anything else I could do that would bring in enough, and there wasn't really anything that would do it without experience. So back to plumbing I went, tired I am again, and dirty my hands will ever be.

There are a few perks, namely great health and dental insurance, a guaranteed check every friday (both of which bring great peace of mind), but most important, we now have time and money to go to the lake every week at least once, if not twice!! That I don't mind. We take my dad's boat out, a 1990 Four Winns he bought brand new when I was 9. Now it is kind of a piece, but it is a lot better than nothing. So for now I'll take what I can get.


The girls love it



I tried to get up on the wakeboard Eden's first time out...
It didn't happen.



Who says I drive fast?

(and no I didn't doctor this one in photoshop)

Oh Lee, you secretly heart plumbing. Admit it. And your sad face was really because you found out that you were eating the last stale peep and you were upset about it.

more like the sad face was because amanda found out he was eating the last stale peep and had just punched him for it.
