Words that sometimes mean something to someone maybe
Couple really cool things happened this weekend for me. On Saturday we had an incredibly lazy day. Sweatpants all day, one of those “did I even brush my teeth?” kind of days…. Oldest daughter actually went out after dinner for a bit, leaving the wife on the couch to watch a few Hallmark movies and... Continue Reading →
For as long as I can remember, the kids and I will fist bump each other when we are walking past one another. It all started a long time ago, back when the kids were in car seats facing the rear of the car. I would be driving and if I didn’t hear from them... Continue Reading →
My youngest daughter Kiley, who is 11, asks me about God all the time. Do I believe? If I do, how do I know? I try to be as honest as I can with my kids. My wife really pushes honesty with them; she parents in a very open style. I am a little more “hide... Continue Reading →
When I was super young my Mom was a nurse at a hospital, working night shifts and weird hours. Then she would be up with me and my brother in the morning. Looking back now I have absolutely no clue when she ever slept. As my brother and I got to be school aged though my Mom switched from a... Continue Reading →
If you know me, you know I iron every piece of clothing I own before I wear it. The wife and kids, and most normal people fluff their stuff in the dryer for a few minutes and look completely normal. For me, I just can’t. It is definitely something mental, a part of my daily routine.... Continue Reading →
The word "In-Law’s” probably elicits some type of emotional response. In tv, movies and such the in-laws are always these annoying people who you have to “deal” with once in a while. I’m sure in real life for most, in-laws are great. Or, if they are not, maybe you live far enough away that the... Continue Reading →
Recently, we added a new room on our house and redid the kitchen. I LOVE it. My father in law built us this beautiful table that we hardly ever use for what it is intended for, which is to eat dinner as a family. When we were talking about building it the wife and... Continue Reading →
My wife’s family is small and big at the same time. She only has a few aunts and uncles, but she has a million cousins, 2nd cousins, Aunts who are really 3rd cousins… It is actually a little confusing from the outside. But, they are really close. The labels might be screwed up, but... Continue Reading →
Just a quick follow up post to my “therapy” blog I posted a few days ago. I texted my friend sort of out of the blue asking if I could talk about her story and she was cool with it. Then a few hours later she texted back that she made something for my oldest... Continue Reading →
A few years ago (maybe 10 at this point) my wife and I were headed in opposite directions. She was raising a family and I was still in party mode. The wife mentioned going to therapy to work some things out. My first reaction was HELL NO, I’M PERFECT AND YOU ARE BROKEN AND THERAPY... Continue Reading →
