In the continuing saga of trying to overhead press my 140 pound grappling dummy, I was able to get it over my head, but not lock out my arms. That’s ok, I’m still figuring out hand placement and weight distribution. The danger happens after the weight has reached it’s peak height, I’ve got no gripContinue reading “12 December 2025”

Lots of repetitive tasks, and it’s literally freezing out, it’s the final stretch of the year. What is life? We’re born, live, then die. Who’s to say which step is the most important, we spend the most time living, so we assume that means something. Death will be the beginning of eternity, in that wayContinue reading “9 December 2025”

Earlier this week I was talking about how improving everyday items improves life on the whole, things like dishes, towels, and a nice mattress. After decorating I thought about our stocking, how 10 years ago they were solid red and white dollar store stocking that I wrote our names on with puffy paint. When theContinue reading “4 December 2025”

We switched our dishes yesterday. The old ones were nice, but they belonged to my queen’s grandmother and we’ve been using them for at least 10 years. There were some chips in the dishes and a couple plates have fallen on the ground over the years. Now we’re part of the blue and white club,Continue reading “2 December 2025”

It’s been awhile since I’ve written, let’s recap what’s happened. First my queen was out of town for a weekend and I had the girls alone, so there was no writing. Then we had Veterans day which takes some energy, but was nice and we rolled into another long weekend of travel. We were inContinue reading “19 November 2025”

The elder princess is home sick today. As of writing this, she’s doing better, but she can use the rest. While I have the girls today, I’m also going to have them to myself this weekend while my queen goes on a trip. They’re good kids and I’m getting almost full nights of sleep, soContinue reading “4 November 2025”

I’m getting some life back, the little princess was growing four teeth at once, so there was a lot of crying and little sleep. Things seem to be improving with her sleeping until 4 AM last night, big win! I know I talk about my sleep too much, but it’s probably the biggest issue inContinue reading “29 October 2025”

Last night’s sleep went well, now onto today. Bill Murray’s Groundhog’s Day is an important piece of media because it exemplifies real life. We can do everything perfect today and still wake up tomorrow with a blank slate. The kids having a goodnight of sleep yesterday doesn’t really effect the odds of them going downContinue reading “16 October 2025”

There’s so much to do in a morning, the babies are still waking up a little early, it’s like they had their own daylight saving hour. At least they’re well behaved, if left alone with food and a toy they will usually stay pretty quiet. We’ve have a special alarm for the elder princess that’sContinue reading “30 September 2025”

Yesterday was a strange day, it started off rough, got better, and ended rough. There was a half day of daycare which worked out fine, but as I sat down to write I was also checking my bank account and saw some fraud on one of my cards. Seeing someone has violated my security isContinue reading “25 September 2025”
