Got a pretty good medical scare dropped in my lap at Christmas. Good thoughts appreciated.
Kids had their elementary school Christmas concert today, and now they’re home until January.
How the hell am I going to figure out what to feed these guys three times a day for weeks on end? I struggle with twice!
Ain’t no party like a “took some Sudafed for a cold” party. 😬
I’m exhausted and really want to go to bed, but the kitten has taken a break from running constantly to purr in my lap.
I guess I’m stuck here until he gets bored.
Marked safe from a brief foray to the mall (area… I’m not going into that place except at gunpoint)
While true, me saying a 6th grade band is pitchy is just me doing a bit. These kids sound great, and I’m impressed with where they are after just four months.
The middle school band is warming up for their first concert. I’m so proud of my oldest for being on stage tonight.
They’re pitchy, though.
Today was homemade potato soup.
It was the kids decorating our Christmas tree in record time.
It was a giant secret art project for someone we love.
It was kind of everything I want a Sunday to be.
Fixed so many small problems that had, in aggregate become one big problem today.
Going to treat myself to some guiltless entertainment tonight.
Took the kids to a jump park for a birthday party today. My wife and I remembered to bring earplugs and had a much better time than previous visits.
After a rough introduction to the bidet, my 11yo requested “training” on its use.
My 11yo son just walked into the room covered in water. He demanded to know why I tricked him.
My “trick” was installing a bidet on the toilet. He saw buttons and started pressing without knowing what they did.
Survived functioning through a migraine until the kids’ bedtime.
Clap for me?
I’m thankful for this case of wine and all of you.
Now that I’m a licensed amateur radio operator I just have to get over my crippling social anxiety and hit the transmit button.
We’ve been accused of delivering the “best day ever” after our two youngest got to go to a theme park for the first time.
They were even happier to learn we have season tickets and will be going a lot.
Watched a rage monster get in a wreck with a guy in a gas station parking lot today after screaming at us for getting to a gas pump before her.
I wasn’t gojng to laugh until the elderly man at the pump next to me leaned over and said “That was a pretty good whack.”
Just got the notification I’ve been issued my amateur radio license and callsign!
It’s 65F outside and ever so lightly raining. I could just sleep the night on the porch swing.
I’m so proud of my 11 year old. We’re having movie night and he picked The Iron Giant because he (barely) remembered watching it years ago and thought his siblings were ready.
We adopted a rescue kitten yesterday! We took him to the vet today and he has a clean bill of health! Now our other cats can decide how much they hate him! 😂

Fell asleep listening to an audiobook I’m kind-of burned out on. When I woke, it sounded like an interesting scene was coming to an end, but I just can’t bring myself to rewind and listen again.
