I forgot to mention in yesterday’s short update that I had a guest post on my friend Erin’s blog Dropped Stitches. Obviously, I would love for you to go and read my post, but I also recommend looking around the entire site. Erin has spent the past month trying to bring more focus and [...] I don’t know why, but I haven’t really talked about a major deadline that my wife and I are facing. On October 28, Quentin Xavier is due to be born. And, as everyone knows, a due date is really just a guess, so he could be born at any moment. I had planned to [...] Image via Wikipedia I’ve seen a lot of posts regarding the author’s idea of what makes a man, how to be a man, the definition of masculinity, or some variation upon the theme. So I thought I’d chime in. You want to know how to be a man? Stop reading posts like [...] Nick‘s school and ADHD saga continues. We’ve taken a relaxed approach, acknowledging that not being able to shut up or sit still sometimes or just zoning out and not always hearing adults when they’re telling him what to do is just part of Nick’s personality. In general, we don’t punish him for those things [...] Photo courtesy of Sean Drellinger You’re having a rough day. You may be getting sick, the house is a mess, you’re exhausted, and the kids are being monsters. You need to vent, so you post to Facebook or Twitter that your children just might have to die. A few hours later, you get [...] At my core, I am a very lazy man with very low standards. If it was up to me, I would probably work in a job with next to no responsibilities that paid just enough to keep me in a one-room apartment with internet access and food. I don’t need much, and the less [...] As I’ve mentioned, Nick started kindergarten this year. He seems to like school, but he’s had some behavior problems. Nothing overly serious, mostly the same minor issues he’s had for as long as I’ve known him, only… more so. His teacher doesn’t seem too worried and has written most things off as him needing [...] So today is my birthday. It’s also Princess Diana’s Death Day, but the bitch ain’t stealing my day. I’ll fight her for it. To the death, if I have to. Anyway, I’m 32, so I don’t really get presents anymore. Rhonda, however, apparently never received that memo, and thank God for that. She decided [...] Getting our walk on Because I’ve been horrible about updating, you probably don’t know that Nick started kindergarten this month. His adjustment to the school‘s rules and routines has been…interesting. But that’s a post for another day. I’ve had to do some adjusting, too. The school is five blocks from our house, and [...] In 2003, I moved home to get my life back in order after three years of living out-of-state and not visiting. Three days after I got there, my mom died in her sleep.
During the funeral and the healing afterward, only one person brought up a question that nobody wanted to consider – [...]  |
