KingLou Drops Science 2.0

last night Ace woke up, as he seems to do nightly, in panic. Many nights he goes back to sleep. But sometimes the panic is really freaked out and intense. I am usually the only one up when this happens so I deal with it. One time the panic reason was "There is a bug on the floor." I checked and there wasn't a bug on the floor. I reassured him by saying that if there was a big on the floor Buster would definitely kill and eat it. Last night I came into his room and he was standing in his bed and insisting that there was a lobster claw in the bed. Why? Who knows. I had to turn the lights on and show him that they lobster claw had apparently left. Then on top of that this morning there was an awesome thunder storm. Unfortunately Ace gets scared of thunder and needed lots of company and comforting this morning. Of late has been going through a rebellious phase that I find maddening. At home its all "No!" and "I don't want to!" and "You're bad daddy!" It's all quite frustrating. I am hoping he passes through this phase quickly.

This past weekend marked yet another of Ryan, Matt & now Kristen's bbq shindigs. This one was for Matt's 31st birthday. The usual fun was had. Ace was a hit as always. Matt's lady friend bought him a piñata and Matt let Ace help him open it. That was like the highlight of ace's night. There were water guns in the piñata and thats like Ace's new super favorite thing. So he got in a squirt gun fight with Glennis and her lady posse. Eventually the karaoke started up and I sang yet another Morrissey song. Luckily I was able to sing a new one. I am disappointed in the lack of music I would like to sing on the free karaoke zones. Heaven forbid someone wants to sing something other than "Cheeseburger in Paradise." or whatever other simple minded garbage is popular.

This weekend is the final Team Fernandez show of the season. We are in 3rd place I think and if we get 51 points we could win it all! Of course our average point total has been like 30 something and it would require a lot of people coming to see us and even more voting for us.

I just bought tickets to see a AA Class baseball game in Maine when we're up at the beach in August. I really hope that the Portland Seadogs give the Harrisburg Senators a thrashing! Can't wait to get out of the city. This is the first year we're going and didn't have to rent a car. I am psyched not to be dropping $1000 on that this year. We always blow so much $ on shit when we're in NH anyway. The outlet malls in Maine are a massive $ drainer! Oh well. It's really my only major shopping binge of the year. And on the upside we'll be at the beach so if Ace says there is a lobster claw in his bed there is a good chance it will be true.
