Is it the end for our Super hero?

Its not that I have an ego...well o.k. I may but I have always wanted to known as a super hero soooo here I am. No big time powers or stuff like that. I am going down hill fast. It could be age. It could be the fact that my schedule has slowed down so I have more time for my hypochondriacness to kick in. It could be I'm getting a tad under the weather. Maybe I'm in Love with my wife to such a degree its some strange way of trying to relate to the fact shes pregnant and sometimes under the weather. Anyway I'm headed downhill faster than Kirk's and Dail's fantasy football hopes. (I'm in both leagues so I'm taking cheap shots at both commish's) It started with the famous eye infection on the weekend. That has translated to a sore throat and headache all week. I think the eye medicine irritated my throat. Isn't it weird when I put the drops in the medicine would work its way down my throat ten minutes later. Regardless.... it did. When I swallow my coffee a second ago my ears and throat burned. Brillant! Who knows but the good thing is I'm losing weight like crazy. I' continuing to run and the fact that I hate food at this point and my new "no greasy food" philosophy has me weighing like a toy "dog" that Alyssa has just purchased. Ohh I will prevail my people..don't you wory. I will feel better in ten to fifteen years perhaps. I truly believe when I actually get out of the house and my schedule goes crazy (Aug. 9th - Nov. 15th) I won't have time to cry like the girl that my third child won't be...think positive Jeff...Boy, Boy, Boy! Life will be better for our super hero. I just hope the evil forces in the universe don't all rise up to destroy me before my health comes back.

Weekend

So I take my new team down to a warm up tournament in the Metro-plex this weekend. Basically this is a tournament to get the team ready for the next two weekends in which we play games to get in the "good " leagues in Dallas. Anyway its three weekends of soccer. I don't mind as much - get a per diem for food and hotel room free. Gotta love hotel rooms no cleaning up and I can get back after games and nap in 40 degree air without interruption. Well to be honest it gets old after a while - the older I get the harder it is with not being home. Well we won three and lost one so good weekend....except for a little friend called "pink eye" that moved into the right eye on Friday night and decided to blind me for most of Saturday. So fun times coaching in 100 degree temps with sweat running down my face and my right eye blinded and burning and itching! Ohh yea you guessed it Mr. left eye decided he was missing out and got a lil infection in him. Thank goodness we have a parent on my team that called in a prescription and the right one is still bothering me today but for the most part starting to clear up.
We did get TIVO this weekend though!! Ben and Alyssa convinced us with the demo at their house. Fun times watching NASCAR last night - how about Rusty finishing second!! Hold back ur excitment folks we still have a bunch more races!!

What you Doing?

We have been home for about twelve hours and I already miss that question. Corben (Ben and Alyssa's two year old boy) asked me that question for six days straight and I never got tired of it! What you doing?/what's Happening? Hearing him pronounce certain words was pure and simple comedy also. Of course he's probably blogging now about the strange guy who talked to him non stop! I would also like to give a shout out to Addison and Camryn (the Turner girls) for a wonderful time!! Addison actually broke the news that I was going to be a father of a third child to me. She came down stairs and says "Jeff, Kelly has a baby in her stomach". It was great - it didn't spoil it at all, on the contrary, it made the announcement a great story!! I haven't been around little girls a lot and having to sit and watch a tap dancing show or watch as they change into their princess outfits then to ballerina's in a total of three minutes is pretty amazing - especially when I was trying to watch NASCAR. I can't tell everyone how much fun we had in Hawaii and the scenery and events were only the half of it! I actually have to say a nice thing about Alyssa here, so bear with me!! Ben and Alyssa were awesome to hang out with. Alyssa said it best before we left. I think we all were a little like "this could be fun or it could be a little uncomfy" but it was awesome. Besides the fact that Ben and I got shutout when we went deep sea fishing and lost to two inferior opponents on Game night - cheaters! Their friendship and hospitality made the trip what it was - a trip to remember!!
No, my faithful readers, I did not go down into the cage to meet the sharks! It got cancelled because the ocean was to rough and all I needed was a big wave throwing a shark in the tank with me! I did boogie board and came back alive but it was a scary first half an hour!! We saw dolphins when we went deep sea fishing - I was convinced they were great whites until they jumped out of the water - tricky dolphins! By the way, Ben's restaurant that Alyssa makes him "slave away at" is pretty amazing. I know it gets old for him but its on the water and has great live music - I'm sure its not fun waiting on people all the time but its no McDonalds!
Anyways once again we had a blast and we can't thank the Turners enough. Addison - tell your mom you can have all the deserts at 9 a.m. you want. Camryn - thanks for the example of what I have to look forward to, if I have a young tap dancing/princess of a girl that's cool and cute!! Corben - What you doing right now??

Buckeye Time

We're in Ohio! We left Saturday about 3pm and got to The Buckeye State at 9:30 a.m. I decided to drive all the way until I got to the annoying last two hours and was about to go nuts driving , so I let my beautiful wife take over for the last 120 miles. She got pulled over and honked at (for trying to drive a family in a mini van off the road) in the first hour. We made it though and I went to sleep immediately after arriving. We will split time between Kel's family and mine (they live an hour apart). At my house I get the familiarity of home/Mom's cooking/hanging out with the family/eating lunch with Dad at Rob's buffet!! At Kelly's house I get the reading time/Mom -in- laws cooking/"leave Jeff alone" time. I truly love coming to Ohio.
We're still at Kel's house and leave tomorrow for Hawaii. Watched a special on the animal channel last night - sea snakes are the 5th most dangerous snake in the world and they live in the Pacific!! I'm not really big on airplanes so this will be a joy tomorrow!! Three takeoffs and three landings. I'm going to be a wreck before a shark gets the chance to attack!!
I went to the movies alone - I love that - going with people - always feel the need to talk. Saw Mr. and Mrs. Smith - great film, Pitt's laid back humor in the movie is outstanding!! Jolie - well shes just..shes just.. well wow. Anyway, fun film!!
I made cuts on my club teams before we left and have been on the computer or phone two to three times a day!! Oh well - "its called a job, jeff".
Well wish me luck on the plane - good grief my stomach is in knots already!!

Kirk - by the way I commented on your pedicure blog - ughhh
Alyssa - new blog? Good grief its July!!

Healthy Food High School

hello party people. First of all - sorry for no new blogs lately. I've been a tad busy and big time lazy - won't happen again. I feel as if I haven't visited the therapist in awhile!! Actually I'm not sure anyone reads this anymore - which would be good - then I really could confess stuff. HA !Things have been great, I really love the summer when I can get away from soccer. I'm becoming my Dad - he loves to work in the yard out in the heat. Suddenly I'm loving mowing, landscaping. Who knew.
Jeffy is on a diet! I'm tired of having a gut! Everyone says I don't need to diet but trust me I'm tired of the GUT. So working out everyday, situps til i can't situp anymore and watching what I eat. Get this - No more fried food!! Me, Jeffrey Scott Trimble - no more fried food. I'm crying while typing this! You know how hard it is to eat out and not have fried food? My only concession to this rule is tortilla chips but french fries I'll see ya later (really crying). I'm limiting myself to a baked potato once or twice a week. What do people eat with their chicken or steak if they don't have potatoes?? I'm trying though. Desserts are no big deal - don't like sweets. French Fries/Popcorn/onion rings/chicken (fried)/ Long John'f fish this stuff is who I am!! I don't even know myself anymore!! Grilled chicken/veggies/grilled fish/ diet coke/ salad are my new friends. I feel like I'm transfering schools and hanging out with the uncool crowd - but just like all the uncool kids in school, down the road they will be successful so I'm banking the new diet will help down the road. Grilled chicken actually is pretty cool, good jokes and easy to hang with but salad is a full out dork. This dude picks his nose and is not cool at all. I'm pretty sure that Long John's fried fish pointed and snickered at me in the hall today. This is going to be really hard. Also sure I will have to fight the onion ring on the playground just to save face.
