Can we fix it....YES WE CAN!!!!

Jen came home!!!! I am not nearlly as pathetic now as I was in my last post. Yes...as you can tell I fall apart without her.
I have found new motivation to finish remodeling my master bath. Basically, Jen came home and requested (strongly) that I finish. I need to finish the drain to the new shower and some small electrical work. Then it is up to my contractor. I think the worst part of it all is the sight of me in a tool belt. Picture it...No I won't post a pic....Me in shorts, a white t-shirt, sandals, socks to mid calf, and then the TOOL BELT!!! It is functional not stylish.

I have finished the following:
Removed old toilet, sheetrock, and sink
Removed old cast iron tub (rediculously heavy...even after I broke it in half with a sledge hammer.)
Removed a window
Installed a new toilet
Replaced copper plumbing to allow for a shower
Replaced sink
Repaired weak floor/subfloor
Installed vent fan

My contractor will install all sheetrock and shower walls. Then we are done. I would try to do the drywall myself, but if you have not done it before you will be able to tell.
Here is a before pic!!!

One is the loneliest number....!

This weekend I bached it. Jen and the girls went to see some releatives. Some people would pay to have a little quite time for themselves. NOT ME! I started dating Jen when I was 15 and now I am 30. That means every day I live...is one more day I have been with Jen than when I was single. So you can imagine how I would be lost without her. Not to mention my little girls.
Jen takes trips very rarely, maybe 2 times a year. I normally watch movies and don't emerge from the house except for work. I promised myself I would not do that this time.
Friday night was the first night without her and I forced myself to go to the movies. I watched Harry Potter. It was ok..but it would have been more fun with Jen. Other than the movies, I introverted and stayed in the house.
I guess what I am saying is I miss my friend! That reminds me of Darryl Worley's song...you can check it out if you want..I won't I might cry.

GERONIMO!!!!

Well tonight kicked off VBS at our church. We had a night at the city's Aquatic Park. Shelby invited a neighborhood friend (Madison) and we had a blast. It was my job to watch them. Madison is a couple years older and quite proficient at swimming. Shelby is a floater...depending on her Hannah Montana life jacket to keep her up. Madison was jumping off the diving board and riding the slides. Shelby was jumping off the side of the pool. I tried to get her to jump off the low diving board....NO GO! She would get on the board, then turn and run back down! I did not pressure her....it will come in time.
I did jump off of the diving board. You know...the fat boy jump. CANNON BALL!!!! or to switch it up....CAN OPENER!!! Have you noticed that every fat guy has these two jumps in his bag of tricks? I think it is because diving without a splash is impossible. When you displace as much water as I do...there will be a splash. So rather than fight fate...embrace it with the Cannon Ball or Can Opener! Anyway, we had fun. I can't wait for VBS tomorrow.

Here I come to save the day!!!!

Today I was SUPERMAN!!!! I was wrapping up some work getting ready for the weekend before heading home when the phone rang. It was my precious wife sounding not so precious. She had the littlist tinge of fear in her voice. She told me that Shelby had a huge splinter in her hand and Jen was unable to get it out. I could hear Shelby crying in the background.
Little did Jen know that she had summoned Adamous Adam!!!! In a dash I was in the ADAM BOMB on my way to save the day. I hit the gas speeding down 5th only slowing when I was passing the police & sherrif's station. (After All I don't think they would recognize Adamous Adam. Ha Ha Ha!)
When I got home Shelby was still crying. After pulling out THE TWEEZENATOR (Tweezers) I made quick work of the splinter. It was huge and deep...but was no match for Adamous Adam!!!!
After the job was done, Jen said, "Thank you for being my hero!" I'M THE KING OF THE WORLD!!!!

Sweet Wheels Man!

Jen and I have talked about getting Shelby a new bike. The bike she has is from when she was three. If she grew anymore she would need knee pads to save her from the handlebars!!!
Well a co-worker is having a birthday tomorrow so I made a trip to Walmart. (The shopping mecca of our humble city.) As I was looking for a good gift, I walked by the bicycle isle. Memories of my childhood rushed through my mind. I remember riding my bike across my hometown to go to grandma's, friend's, and family's houses. It was my first taste of freedom.
Then the debate started. On one-hand it was a different time then. It was pre-Adam Walsh. On the other hand, should Shelby miss this important step in her life (freedom) because I am afraid?
I bit the bullet and bought my childhood brand of bike HUFFY! When I brought it home I was so excited to see Shelby's reaction. (And scared to see Jen's reaction since I didn't include her.) When I got home there was jumping up and down... high pitched screaming...a disire to ride it immediately....and that was just my reaction. Just kidding! Shelby was so excited! So was Jen! SANTA AIN'T GOT NOTHING ON ME!

UPDATE:
We just started the training on the new bike. We have a ways to go. No skinned knees though....I call that a success. After all of the adjusting we did to the bike, it is still a little big for her. She will grow into it very soon.

Jesus is a friend of Mine!!!!! ZAP!!!

Ok,
A friend of mine sent this to me a few months ago. It is sooo funny! ZAP! Just click the link below.

Oh what a night!

Shelby (my oldest daughter) slept over at a friends house across the street last night. Normally that would be great giving my wife and I a little rest. However, at about 8-8:30 last night Shelby shows up. She said she was over to visit us. Missing Mommy and Daddy is really sweet, but she never told her friends parents that she was leaving. This started Jen (my wife's) internal worry machine. (FYI...Most women have a worry machine.) Jen starts to worry that Shelby might wake up in the night and try to come over. If she does, we would not hear her knock and she would be stuck outside and scared. Jennifer suggests that we go over and talk to Shelby about it. I thought that was a bad idea because there is no way to talk about it without bringing up the fact that Shelby was able to disappear without her friends parents knowledge.
So, just in case Shelby showed up during the night...I volunteered to sleep on the couch. Isn't it quite interesting that the word couch includes the word "OUCH" in it. I think whoever named the couch was trying to send a message. DON'T SLEEP ON IT! All well...Shelby did not show up....Mr. Lower Backpain did.

Here We GO!!!!

Ok,
I am late getting started with a blog. I would have even sworn that I would never start one, but here I am. The name of my blog "Adam Bomb" comes from a nickname a friend of mine gave my car. It is a 1996 Ford Taurus. It is rough man! But it is paid for...therefore....long live the Adam Bomb!!!!

The purpose of this blog is just for fun. I will tell amusing stories and thoughts that have no common thread....Just for your entertainment and/or to make you think.

I am a Christian, so some posts may be preachy. Sorry...I am who I am! I am married and may post funny stories about my wife and I, but make no mistake....I LOVE THAT WOMAN!!! She is the best thing that has ever happened to me. I have 2 daughters and might post about them. Once again...I LOVE THOSE GIRLS! Mainly, I will post funny stupid stories that have happened to me. I hope my stories will bring a glimmer of happiness to you. I know they will for me.
