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 [...]

Being of Man

The retreat was not what I expected, yet it went well. Being new to this group of men, but having attended this church for over a year, I found it uncomfortable being around a bunch of men whom I assumed already knew each other. That was groundless. Most guys didn’t know more than 1 or [...]

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 [...]

Ah, Spring Break

I meant to post a ‘Gone Fishing’ graphic on the page early last week, but obviously Mr Lazy Pants just couldn’t get it done. The family took a trip to Houston to see more family. Went down and visited with Dad and I continue to worry about his progress. We spent some time de-crapping [...]

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 [...]

Make’n Time

Had a long, productive talk with Xx last night. Trying to keep dialog going as we prepare to marry again. I know it’s so totally not the right order of things, but I’ve never been normal anyway. We talked about how it is different this time, how we will be different this time, what we [...]

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 [...]
