April 5th, My New Anniversary

Wow. If I sit still and think about it, I get the shivers. I am married again, the the same woman, forever.  The shivers exists because of where I came from 2 years ago when this whole thing started. It is hard for me to truly believe the distance I’ve traveled and find myself with [...]

The End of an Error Fast Approaches

This weekend, FH will be saying his vowels, all 6, and will once again be married to a beautiful woman. She picked up my ring yesterday and, I have to say, it’s much better than the first.  Some of each of our families will be coming into town. Most of mine will be packed [...]

Riding Waves

I missed my opportunity to learn to surf in Hawaii many years ago. Despite that, I feel like I’ve been riding waves pretty well here.
Work has been busy. State testing for children went online and was a cluster F! It wasn’t my department’s deal, yet we were thrown under the wheels for it and had [...]

Marriage Tide

If you know the path I’ve traveled, you would possibly understand that I’m not wishy-washy, but just wary of choices life gives me. I don’t share some of my doubts here, but there are some. I do get scared or at least anxious about getting married again to xX. She’s doing almost everything [...]

She Asked…

After turning the key and trying to warm up the engine, she asked, “Would you rather me fake being interested or just tell you that I’m not in the mood?”
To her defense, it was early and she was particularly worried about having to do a physical labor early in the morning; something I was supposed [...]

Sunday Morning

Woke up in the 4am. I see Scared through the fog, and it’s looking back at me. What’s he thinking? That which was perfect was broken. That which has been broken, can it be expected to be perfect? I think Scared sees too much and reads too much into it. When I look into his [...]

Gotta catchup! Different ideas written in different colors today.
Man, I felt like the family was sick forever. We had a second round last week and I am just tired of it! We are finally healthy. Kids are caught up at school and all is back on track.
So, I went to a gay bar last weekend. [...]

Sick girl

Aggg!  Neither of my kids ever learned to blow their nose well. I mean, how do you ‘make’ them blow crap out of their nose when they don’t want to?  CuriousGeorge had allergies last weekend and started coughing through the night because of the drainage. Would she blow her nose to get it out? Oh [...]

I Missed You!

Had some good things to share last week and took the laptop out camping with 5th graders. Was told there was wireless and by the time I was able to post, it went down. I got home in time for Halloween and was slammed with projects for the next day. Then off to New York [...]

‘Ringing’ in the back of my head..

    I’ve slept in my house 4 nights now. So much to do to unpack from storage, and exX still has much to move in from her apt. My joy at this moment is what the builder called the study, which I have renamed ‘The Library’. It’s where I will work when I’m not at [...]
