This weekend certainly was one that left me emotionally drained. It also left me knowing that there are things that I need to do as well as some priorities that need shifting. Some things are just too important and changes need to be made. I have every intention of doing what needs to be done. … Continue reading A Weekend of Ups and Downs

My Father’s Day Weekend
Father's Day began for me on Saturday morning. We celebrated Saturday because Sam had to work on Sunday. When I returned home from work, my kids were already up and waiting. Sam had texted me that Ella was anxious for me to come home to get my present. Ella was excited because she had seen … Continue reading My Father’s Day Weekend
A Mood Changer
Pardon me while I become "toddler dad" for a minute... When you become a parent, you lose the option to watch TV ... at least when your kids are awake. Most days I watch all the PBS shows (Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood, Wild Kratts, Xavier Riddle and the Secret Museum) or the various stuff from Nick … Continue reading A Mood Changer
They Call Me “Dad”
At some point, when I get an extra few bucks, I wanna order this shirt. I am kind of over everything right now. Perhaps it is a lack of sleep, the need for a break/vacation, dealing with stupidity in many facets of life, an overwhelming amount of stress or a combination of all of these … Continue reading They Call Me “Dad”
The Omelette
Confession: I'm 51 and I love cartoons. I have blogged about the cartoon Bluey before, and yes, I am blogging about it again.

There are some ways around that by changing your VPN or some other "tech" stuff I don't understand. … Continue reading The Omelette
Spaghetti? I Was Just Dreaming About That …
Today is National Spaghetti Day here in the United States. I didn't know that until a friend of mine posted it on Facebook earlier today. I also didn't know it was National Trivia Day in the United States. The same friend posted that, too. So before I tell my story ... how about a tidbit … Continue reading Spaghetti? I Was Just Dreaming About That …
2021 – What a Year!
At midnight tonight, we'll start a brand new year - 2022. Some have compared a new year to a book. The book with 365 blank pages - one for each day - and said that the book is ours to write. There is truth to that. As I looked back over my "book" entitled "2021," … Continue reading 2021 – What a Year!
Alternative Cuss Words
I have mentioned the cartoon Bluey on here in the past. On the Bluey Facebook page a while back, they had a video of the dad (Bandit) using alternate expressions where swear words might be used. Exclamations like "Cheese and jam," "Beans on toast," and "Biscuits" are used in place of swear words. "Biscuits!" is … Continue reading Alternative Cuss Words
I Wanna Be Like Bandit!
I realize that the title of this blog (and the picture above) may be misleading, because it is not about Burt Reynolds. In my defense, they say that having a good blog title will make people want to read it - and here you are! So just what is this blog about? A cartoon role … Continue reading I Wanna Be Like Bandit!
