The boys start school. DS1 begins his senior year. DS2 begins 9th grade. Both at the high school.
I feel like I’ve wasted the summer.
DS1 said they have soccer at 5:30. Of course, he didn’t tell me until after 9:00 last night. So they have to find their own ride. With the day I have, I [...]
"Geez" is a swear word when you say it under your breath in that tone of voice and attitude. And don’t you swear at me.
And also, for the record: Me raising my voice at you is a "conversation". The same way you sleeping until 2 p.m. and spending the day playing X-Box and Wii [...]
I’m sorry that I lost my shit last night when I came home.
I’m sorry you only get to sleep until 11 or 12 everyday and that I interrupt your Wii and X-Box fun with chores like "empty the dishwasher" or "trim the bushes around the air conditioner condenser so it doesn’t freeze up and [...]
I’m a little unbalanced with the boys out of town. Last night in bed at 9; tonight up until 11. Not eating regularly or well. I have to meet my trainer at 8:30 tomorrow morning and then race to the office for a 10:00 meeting that won’t be a fun one.
The hidden agenda, back-biting and [...]
Or, "I’d like someone else to do my killin’, thankyouverymuch."
One of the more disturbing discoveries I’ve made during The Great Declutter of ‘08 is the unmistakable evidence that we are not alone in the house. Yes, it looked like Mickey and Minnie were shacking up with us.
Like any self-respecting shame filled home-maker, I bought a [...]
Thursdays the boys spend with their dad. Theoretically.
DS1 came over with The Girlfriend to watch some crazy shark movie (Megalodon?) When questioned it’s because "Dad has a DVD player but it’s hooked up to M&N’s old TV and it’s not that great." OK. Fair enough. Santa brought us that nice (if small for DS1) new [...]
It was hard to believe that today was the last game of the high-school season and not the first.
Cold. Windy. Rain sprinkles.
On the plus side, they came from behind (10-2 after 2 innings) to win 11-12.
After beating South last week and this defeat of St. Paul Johnson it was a very good end to the [...]

I’ve felt off kilter the whole week. Mostly I chalk it up to being tired from my weekend as a 20-something (faking 20 years can be tough stuff!)
I’ve fallen behind with friends both in the meat world and here but I think I’m ready to resume my usual patterns and schedules. So, I’ll be stopping [...]
1. I love my boys. But Monday they annoyed me. Repeatedly.
Exhibit A - the call at 1:00 p.m. from the park coordinator letting me know that DS2 has park baseball practice tomorrow night at 6:30. Really? I didn’t even know he was playing park ball. In fact, I’m quite certain that last summer we all [...]
