I'm looking forward to a week full of excitement, and anticipation in time for the 2016 football season. I'm hopeful that my Sun Devils, Chargers, Falcons, and Cardinals somehow all make the postseason. We'll have to see what happens. In the meantime, I'll do whatever it takes to foster my sons' creativity both inside and outside the home.
MONDAY: As it is with all Mondays, I stay home during the day while Kelly works. I try not to get distracted with TV, my Kindle, and my iPhone. I try to do my very best with taking care of my boys Ben and Blake. Ben and I were playing drums. Actually, it was pretty much all Ben playing drums. I gave those to him. I had to pretend to be a drummer with my hands in the air. I have visions of Ben becoming a good musician.
I don't remember a whole lot about work today. Sadly, I remembered the late Gene Wilder. He passed away recently and I remembered him in "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory". That was one of my favorite movies he starred in. I don't remember him too well in "Young Frankenstein" and "Silver Streak". Now it came back to me. I remember him in the 1974 comedy classic "Blazing Saddles." He was funny, old, and yet he was taken way too soon. R.I.P. Gene Wilder. Since I don't remember anything about work today, I hope to do it again tomorrow and make it memorable.
TUESDAY: Today was music day in hour home. At least it was for a while before we had to take Ben to school. He seems to enjoy school from what his teachers told us last year. One of my most important jobs is to take Ben to school and get him there safely. The same thing applies to when I have to pick Ben up from school and get him back home safely. I can't imagine how I would ever feel if Ben was hurt in a car accident. I don't even want to think about it. I'll stop now.
I'm thinking about how close we are to the start of football season. Four days are left before the first Saturday and 12 days before the start of the first Sunday of the NFL season. I can't wait.
See the pictures of my boys holding guitars from the Guitar Hero and Rockband video games. Before you know it, they'll play with my real guitar.
There are times where I can make Blake happy. Other times, I'm pretty useless in that category. He's going to have a million dollar smile for years to come. You watch.
Try as I may, I did nothing memorable at work today, so I will try yet again to be my best tomorrow. It's early, but I'm three days away from FRIDAY!!!!! FRIDAY!!!!!
WEDNESDAY: I don't remember. Both boys were home and I had another uneventful day at work.
THURSDAY: I don't remember again.
Now I remember. Ben was in school during the day and Blake was tackling Big Teddy. I tried to be a good daddy while I was home before I had to pick Ben up from school. After that, it was off to work.
Today would also mark my last missed opportunity to see my Padres play their last series (and their last game) ever at Turner Field. My Braves swept the Padres earlier today.
I guess College Football season unofficially kicked off tonight.
FRIDAY: Today was toy day at the Irwin home. Check out my pics from earlier in the day before I had to go to work this afternoon.
