Home. This weekend, M, J, and P wend down to Phoenix for a mini vacation. They haven't been in a while so I didn't mind watching all the kids. So far it hasn't been any real problems. Hopefully it will stay that way.

Yesterday I took the kids to the park. It was a really nice day. Probably the nicest day for weeks. Except for today, which is shaping up to be an even better day. I am sure that it is a really nice day down in the valley for them. Last week when I went down, it was rainy the whole time. That is OK, I had a good time.

While down there, M bought herself a laptop computer and a net book for the family. If it proves useful for the kids school, we might get another one. She also purchased N an iPod Touch for her birthday later this month. I thought about getting one, but I think a newer cell phone would be more practical. I guess I will be taking a crash course in setting up Windows 7. I don't know anything about it.

Starting this week, we are going to be babysitting a eight month old boy for a single mom at M's work. It will only be for three days a week though. But, I will have to be very vigilant with my cleaning now. Kids that age will run off with anything and probably put it in their mouth.

Again, I stayed up until after 3 am this morning playing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare online. I don't know why it is so addicting. I would like to get the newest installment of the game titled simply Modern Warfare 2, but at $60, I don't see that happening. Especially when M just spend all that money. The one I currently have, is fun enough for me right now.

Earlier, the boys came running from their room yelling that there was a wasp in there. I took the broom in there thinking I would have to smash it against the wall or something, but it was sitting on one of their plastic tubs. I grabbed a canvas bag that was sitting there and smashed it. Then I went on wasp patrol. I took the wasp spray and went around the house and garage looking for the beginnings of nests. I found two and swiftly dispatched them.
