All good things must come to an end?

Well, school is back in session tomorrow, while I would love to say I am happy about that, I’m not really. It has been awesome to have some time with my girls. That is just something I don’t normally get while they are in school since I work second shift. Sure they might drive me crazy once in awhile and I have very little free time when they are out of school but those are sacrifices that I am willing to make. Getting to bond with the two coolest little girls around, and having time with my wife since she took vacation too, it was great.

On the semi-bright side, I will be able to blog more again, but is that really a worthwhile thing? Being there when my girls need me, that is worthwhile! Holding their hands in mine, playing games, those are the things that make the day a lot brighter. I may joke about their being the spawn of satan, but really, they are mine through and through. Good or bad, there is no denying that they have taken on some of my characteristics.

Desi can be as sweet as honey but turn bitter when things don’t quite work out the way she wanted. Anna, she is a brooder, she will sit and stew in her own juices until well done or just break down and cry for little or no reason. There are days when I can look at both of them and see a reflection of me at their age. Those are the days that can really hurt me too. I don’t want them to have to deal with things that I did, I want to get them through the rough patches without them being affected in a negative way. Sure we all have to learn life lessons, but I want to protect them from the harder ones if at all possible. I want the best for them and nothing less will do.

I really want to hold on to the times we share, you know, save time in a bottle, but my bottle lost it’s stopper a long time ago. Seems like some of the good stuff leaks out now. That is the reason I blog and photograph when all else fails I will still have these records to remind me of all the fun we had and all the troubles. To some my writing may seem mindless drivel but to me, it is priceless, something to hold together the strands of time so they don’t get away from me. Sometimes I feel like the guy chasing his kite down the beach, that string is just slightly out of reach, bobbing and weaving and trying to elude me at every twist and turn.

With that I bid you a good night may God bless you richly and eternally.

Oh, not again!

It’s parent-teacher conference time. I am sitting here trying to psych myself up for this. I never feel comfortable when I am there. I always feel like I did when I was in school and getting in trouble!

I do my very best to look attentive but I usually end up looking fidgety and nervous, I can’t help it though. It seems like every conference in my life has been a bad thing and now that they are for the girls I have been conditioned!

This does not bode well for anyone!

Not entirely unhappy

August 15, 2006 · Posted in Blog, Blogging the disease · 3 Comments 

I am hoping that the upswing in my mood over the last couple days is due to my new meds and not just wishful thinking. I have been not all to entirely unhappy. Now if I could just get this knee fixed I would be about as normal as I get!

I haven’t been posting lately because, well, there just isn’t that much happening. There has been a lot to do at work and that has kept me pretty busy and too tired to blog.

The girls first day of school is Tuesday, I don’t know if I am looking forward to it or not. I always worry about them on that first day. Wondering if they are doing ok and finding where they need to be. Are they making friends blah blah blah. You know the drill right?

I need some more music to put on my MP3 player and I am open to suggestions. Yes Linda I already have some Replacements on there! I am looking for some high energy music, something to get the blood pumping! Let me know what you think!

Whoa there now

Well this will have to be a quick post. I slept in, just a wee bit more than I intended and am now on the fast track for a nervous breakdown at work. I think I need a vacation so I can get caught up on everything that I have been putting off “just one more day”. Now that I think about it that wouldn’t be much of a vacation now would it?

I have things sitting on my desk that I can’t even remember when I got them, that can’t be good. Especially the ones that have to do with the children and their school. Which reminds me, they had another school improvement day. Basically it is a half day for the students and then according to the school the staff get together and work on ideas for improvement. I personally think they all break out a keg as soon as the last kid leaves and get slobbering drunk. Well at least that is what I would do if I had to deal with that many kids 5 days a week!

Alright, gotta go get ready for work, wish me luck.
