Trying to get my life back on track, today has been a busy day of phone calls back and forth to work making sure things are in order. Double checking and making sure bills are in order/paid and trying to catch up on VN. I just completed the most important task of the day though and you my VN family will be thankful that I did.....
As you are all aware (ad nauseam) my oldest son and I are both Marines. Retired and Medically Retired. I had thought my family was done serving for a while. I was mistaken. My 6 year old informed me of a daunting task that required completion prior to his return from school.
I have just spent the last couple of hours repairing/rebuilding and bolstering the defenses of a 5 1/2 ft long X 3 ft wide X 3 1/2 ft high cardboard spaceship. I know...I know...I was nervous too. Once I found out why, it put a lot of pressure on me to ensure I did the job to the best of my abilities (which I was not sure I would be able to accomplish in my current state).
I was informed this morning by my 6 year old (he wanted to let me rest last night before telling me) that he and my 1 1/2 year old have been using the spaceship to go into outer space and fight aliens. They were doing this to protect the world while I was in the hospital. The reason for the need for repairs (torn to shreds) was during all the fighting apparently the spaceship was hit and had to crashland.
So when you tuck yourselves in to bed tonight VN, do so with the full knowledge the the spaceship has been repaired and the newest generation of the Biker family is at the helm, keeping the world safe from aliens.
In the words of Lil Biker....."We got this dad".
