Yesterday was rough, hopefully we’ve turned the corner now. With the little princess being sick, she didn’t want to nap, the first attempt was a struggle and the second nap didn’t happen. Each time I try to put her down means 30 plus minutes of holding and rocking the baby. When things are going goodContinue reading “3 September 2025”

The little princess has been sick, she initially got sick from her big sister starting daycare and apparently it’s almost guaranteed that a baby will get an ear infection after being sick because they lay on their backs all the time. She’s not sleeping well right now and yesterday morning I needed to get milkContinue reading “2 September 2025”

What a morning, first call was 5 AM with the little princess waking up for some milk. Then starting sometime after 6 she was up again and something kept banging against my bedroom window, by 6:30 the elder princess was screaming in bed and the morning had begun.

Every new desire brings along unforeseen responsibilities. Yesterday I was waxing my armor and was thinking how meditative the activity is, swirling a towel in circles, making sure each area gets covered. There’s a lot of oddly satisfying videos of similar jobs, like pressure washing is a good example of watching a job gradually getContinue reading “26 August 2025”

With the princess starting daycare, the whole family quickly got sick and it’s been a struggle to make it through the day even without extracurriculars. All day the kids want to be held, and so do the adults. Being sick I consider a low point and it makes me question my life not only becauseContinue reading “25 August 2025”

We prepped the shrimp and it may have been the first time I’ve shelled and deveined shrimp. My elder princess was very curious andContinue reading “18 August 2025”

They call it being the bigger man, but always feels like settling. I’m supposed to forgive everyone and when they don’t even apologize, how’s that fair? It’s not and it’s not supposed to be fair, what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. Being able to apologize or forgive without confrontation makes us stronger. My egoContinue reading “15 August 2025”

We made it back from New Orleans, so was Chrisfest a success? Sure in the sense that we made it there and back. Old friends and groups coming together is complicated scenario that will take time to unpack, I haven’t even physically unpacked my bags. One friend was asked to leave for disorderly conduct, soContinue reading “14 August 2025”

The down side of a neighborhood is any time I step out the door I’m likely to run into someone. At the end of the day my dog is wining to go for a walk, two days ago I crossed paths with the owners of two poodles. The humans were nice though the poodles wereContinue reading “6 August 2025”

Last night was a little sweaty, at some point the AC went out. Living in old houses up until now has been nice because if this happens we can open up the windows and they’re designed for air flow. Our current house is air tight which helps the HVAC system, but now feels like IContinue reading “5 August 2025”
