I was reading a story on CNN about a boy having to change his hair cut to fit school's policy. I may not agree with the point of the hair style. I do think there is a better way to spend time with students. Pay teachers more!!!!

01/06/2009 Not really alot of answers, but alot more questions

noreply@blogger.com (Ricky Robling) — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 13:20:00 +0000

As you know we have been dealing with Wilson's medical issues for sometime now. Yesterday we had a buffet of doctor visits. We went to GI specialist who Dawn says is pretty high on the food chain. I don't know how he gave us hope and crushed us all in the some time. He believes there is something wrong with Wilson but doesn't think he has EE. So then he is sending us to an allergist. Dawn said he is a world renowned allergist. I mean with a child that has 14 food allergies, you might want the best. Just saying. Then we saw a speech pathologist. She was such a nice doctor, but no definite answers, just more questions. After that we saw another doctor, she was a dietician. Let just say she was no help. I am going to be honest, and say to me it was a waste of time. The Robling family had there fill of doctors that day. Also it was noon, Wilson’s nap time, and we were in a room with 35 square feet. So if anybody has seen a Wilson melt down, this was a classic one.

So when left the hospital, we kind of stand in the same place as we started. The only difference is that we have the top doctors in there fields. It really sucks some times going threw this. I mean Dawn deals with the doctors 100 times more then I do. I just deal with the monster. You know there is something wrong with your child and there is nothing you can do to fix it. I mean there is something inputted in our DNA the moment you know of your child to protect it. I am normally a person that just deals with things as the come along. It drives Dawn nuts, but that’s who I am. If there is something wrong, I just roll with it. This is something I don’t think I can roll with.

If one more person say’s God is only going to give you stuff that you can handle. I hate that phrase. I have said that phrase. Do I really believe it? Sort of but I really hate that phrase. I think Christians use it before actually thinking it. It is like an instant opening your mouth response before thinking. Trust I am king of this category. I trust God is taking in us on this messy journey. Well in my mind it is messy. I know that he does things for a reason. I am not sure why. I don’t think it is that we don’t pray enough or read that bible enough. God just has a weird way of doing things. We go to Crossroads, and everybody knows that a member passed away during a Christmas play. This was a terrible situation we people lost somebody. Yet God brought people closer to him through it. I don’t know where he is going with this, or even where we are going. All I can say is that I would just like answers. I know I was talking to Scott on how blogs become bitchy and depressing. So I do apologize for this one. I just had to get something off my chest.

Thanks for reading

Dinner

Ok well if you’re craving some Mexican I can give you recipe to my homemade fajitas. You will need only a few things.

1 to 2 pounds of chicken breast.

Wilson approved tortillas

1 sweet white onion

1 yellow pepper

1 orange pepper. (I use these peppers because there sweeter then the traditional green and reds)

Olive oil

3 large limes

Bottle of at least Jose Cuervo tequila (you wont use the whole bottle and yes I feed this to Wilson, the alcohol cooks off before it is served)

Chicken seasoning (I like the McCormick’s kind)

Some zip lock bags

Prep

Slice the chicken into strips the size of high lighters (yes I am at my desk and looking at a high lighter there the same size so come work with me)

Sprinkle the chicken with the seasoning and slap the seasoning into the meat, and place in the bag.

Slice one lime and juice it into the bag (note put the lime in the microwave for 10 seconds to release the juice if you hands are not strong) leave the remaining limes in the bag as well

Then add a splash to tequila, only use a small amount. Push the air out of the bag and place in the fridge so the flavors and mix.

Slice the peppers and onions about the size of a sharpie (remember I am at my desk)

In separate bags add onions and olive oil in one, and in the other peppers and tequila in other.

Let the bags sit for about an hour or so.

If you’re feeling adventuress you can grill these, if I do you the grill I put a piece of foil down for my veggies

Pull the bags out of the fridge and place in a hot pan. All at once if the pan is a not stick remember to Pam it.

Please cook the chicken all the way through, if not you wont feel good later on.

Cook the veggies to your liking,

When your done cooking remove the lime rhine and place in a large dish. And squeeze one last lime over the food and your good to go.

You can add lettuce, salsa, beans, and even rice to this to jazz it up.

Some of the things you may not like, but this an open recipe you can play with.

Thank you some much for taking the time out to do this us.

question

noreply@blogger.com (Ricky Robling) — Wed, 30 Jul 2008 17:35:00 +0000

So at work I heard my boss asked this question. If you had to compare yourself to a cereal, what kind would you be

Update

noreply@blogger.com (Ricky Robling) — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 11:34:00 +0000

So were on day 3 of 9 days the detox. The process of stage one is 9 days long. No meat,grains,chesses,and no processed food. So it has been a steady diet of fruits, veggies, and brown rice. It has been going pretty good so far. The only down fall is you pee a lot and some one is super grouchy. On thursday we weight in and see if there is a change. Sometimes it can get frustrating when your eating rice and your kid is eating chicken nuggets. All I need to do is take a deep breath and realize I am doing this for him.

On a side note my bro and sis will be in town in 6 days and dawn might get a wii fit today keep your fingers cross

Fat Smash/Batman

noreply@blogger.com (Ricky Robling) — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 12:24:00 +0000

So me and Dawn are starting this new diet together called the fat smash so pretty much we live as vegetarians for a week and a half and reprogram our bodies. It should good were doing this together. I will keep you informed as we go along. So we saw the new batman movie on saturday which totaly rocked it lived up to the hype. So we sat in the delux seats which is going to be hard not to want to sit there again. I mean big leather seat you can have a beer and they serve food. The only down fall the tickets were 20 bucks but for a date it is worth the time. On another our small group seems to be struggling to find it's own direction. We had a major break last night which was great a total god thing. I can't really go into details because it is a fight club rule. Gota go seeya

i am on a roll two post in a row

noreply@blogger.com (Ricky Robling) — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 13:48:00 +0000

So I am sitting at my desk which is buried worse then the floor of scott's car and I am ok with it. I am working at a new job that has blessed me so much. One I am 15 mins from home and 20 mins from day care so that saves so much gas and time. I get off at 3:30pm monday through friday and it gave us more money. I have so much to do and I am sitting up to my eye balls in claims but I am ok with it. I have a god that may not gives me what I want but gives what I need. On another note the all star break is over and the story of josh hamilton is amazing three years ago god gave him a dream that he would do a home run derby at yankee stadium. Well he was out of baseball and hooked on drugs. Yankee wasn't even scheduled to do an all star event. Fast forward 3 years God pulls him out of his hell and he is up for the triple crown. I know I am weird but I like the story. Well the rep is back so gota go

noreply@blogger.com (Ricky Robling) — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 13:02:00 +0000

The day the music died (almost)

noreply@blogger.com (Ricky Robling) — Tue, 05 Feb 2008 17:31:00 +0000

So the super bowl was a great night and a not so great night for me. Of course it was great because the G men beat the so called greatest team ever. The hefty lefty got a ring. The reason it was not so great was a drowned my ipod. So let paint a picture. It was the third quarter and tom brady just got drilled as he released the ball. So I was thrilled, I placed my drink on the landing and it slipped. Coke zero poured down the landing, on the stairs, and on the floor. In the middle of an ocean of pop was my poor ipod. I reached for and dried it off and held it. My poor wife came running in with towels to save the carpet. I was more worried about my ipod. I mean come on you can take a carpet shampooer to the floor and it will be fine. There is nothing you can go for an ipod. So we cleaned the the floor and I decided to wait till after the game to work on my ipod. After the game I tried to turn it on. Nothing...... No blinking, no noise, just nothing, it was dead. So my wonderful wife texted our friends and did some research. She found out out the you need to let it dry out. So I put it to the side and let it be. I waited untill 11:30 pm eastern standard time on Monday the 02/04/2008 to try it again. It was more than 24 hours since the terrible tragety. I said and simple prayer, God please don't let my ipod die, I don't want to spend 200 to buy a new one. I turned it on and, the ipod came back from the dead. Nothing is wrong with it, and it is like it never happened. The lessoned learned here is to keep the toys far away from the drinks.

Ok so a few things have been going on since my last post. Well as things at work are more steady lately and it looks like I am going to be here for awhile. Unless God has other plans. Hurricane Wilson is sick, he has some bronicel thing. All I know is the kid sounds like a 90 year old chain smoker, but he will get through it. His meds taste like nasty and he knows it, so you can imagine the joy of trying to get him to take it.

So Matty went to jail...... yeah I said.... Matty went to jail. Matt went in for an interview for some police department job and when they pulled his back ground and realized he had an outstanding warrant for his arrest for a speeding ticket. The Matty had a military check and his record was clean, he went to court to clean his record. Because you can't join the military unless you record is clean. So Matty has to go to court and figure things out, so if you can pray for him.

Other wise everything seems to be going ok.......for now

I love my lg

noreply@blogger.com (Ricky Robling) — Fri, 04 Jan 2008 15:32:00 +0000

Ok for most of you know, I hated my cell phone, but loved my coverage. Which for me never and I mean never happens. I have Verizon coverage you know the network. I am glad I don't have an entourage of people following me, but it would be ok if the did, since my coverage rocks. The down fall was that Dawn and I got the first gen of the lg chocolates. I know I had to have it. It was shiney, new, and was suppose to be cool. I always wondered why the put a second generation 3 months after the first one came out. Well 5 phones in 11 months, yes I did say 5. Well one was my fault, I did drop it and it snapped in half. But the other 4 would always jam. So after spending hours in the store, I got the new gen chocolate. I love it they fixed all the problems I thought were wrong with the first generation. So what have I learned from this. Never ever buy a phone that has been out less the a month.

Work

noreply@blogger.com (Ricky Robling) — Fri, 04 Jan 2008 15:16:00 +0000

So work is very interesting lately. I mean it is starting to seem the cow poop is hitting the ventilator stuff. We keep hearing the company is going under. The leader of our sister company split, and so did the hr manager. And now my manager is leaving and wanting to take me. So like I said the ship is sinking and now I need to figure things out. I am suppose to keep my mouth shut since i know everything. So where do my loyalties stand. So I am just wanting to get things over with.

I miss the days of just driving around in smurf poop, playing strip padiddle, and getting pulled over. Life was so much relaxed and care free. I just need to trust God and listen.

I only want these people

noreply@blogger.com (Ricky Robling) — Thu, 20 Dec 2007 03:49:00 +0000

I hate to have this be my first posted blog, but I need to get this off my mind. I am so sick of the fake, the flake, the not real, and the always looking for something bigger and better people. I believe that was a large run on sentence. Every one of my English teachers are probably rolling there eyes now, but that is not the case.

I hate people who are not genuine and honest. I want to surround myself, my wife, and my son with good people. I don't want the I am here for now but when you don't fill that void anymore I am out. I am so sick of people who only use my wife to get there hair done, it makes me want to vomit. Yes vomit, I said it...... I will throw up, put it in a zip lock bag and mail it to you, because I don't want to waste my time driving it to them. My wonderful bread winner wife works so hard and has an open heart for people, gets walked on by them. It just really pisses me off, how dare there abuse her time, and talents to get what they want. You might as well just spit in her face. There are many of our friends who get there hair done by her, and she does a great job. I am talking about the people who ONLY see her to get there hair done and when they talk to her it is ONLY about there hair. I am not discourging people to get there hair done, I don't want the people who only get there hair done. If your confused then you email me @ rrobling@insightbb.com

I earlier said I am sick of the flake. I know there is a diffrence between the mental flake, and the I guess I am not going to follow through flake. You know the person who is looking for bigger and better thing. I thought I got rid of them when I finished high school but I guess that isn't the case. Why are there people who want the live the rock star, expensive, and fab lives. It doesn't make sense.

If your reading this you are probally wondering why am I so angry. I guess this past year has opened my eyes to so much. I mean I have son and a wife who I need to protect. So I decided that I am going to clean the junk out of my life. I am going to start calling people out. If your not honest, with me and my family don't bother ever talking to us. Just delete what ever contact info you have ( myspace, facebook, email, or even cell phone numbers) and have a great life.

If you have a problem with it...... oh well. I want my true friends to be around my family. I want people like Scott Sulek. Yeah you know him the fuzzy bear from clifton I have known Scott twice as long I have known my own wife. He's the type of person I want around my son. Sorry to put you out like this Scott. I know there are alot of other people who fit the bill like Scott, but I want to go play wii so I don't have the time to write out all your names, but I want to say thanks for being real and genuine. I know that this may be harsh, and I might regreat this later, but I needed to get this off my chest. Thanks for reading and I promise the next blog will be happier.
