In Honor of Father's Day

To all Dads old and young I have to say a hearty, "Happy Father's Day." I am blessed to have two wonderful ones(I real one and a in-law). They are very different people: my father and my father and law, and yet they do have things in common. They are both hard working. They see the value of taking care of their families although that doesn't mean the same to both of them. They are the same age. Being in their seasoned age now they are becoming more reflective. So many things don't matter as much as they did once upon a time. They are ready to kick back and enjoy their grandchildren. At least that is what they would like to be doing(:. In this economy most men have to keep working past the desired age. Now their children worry about their health and their stress level.

My husband falls into the young Dads chadegory. He loves to wristle and play with the boys. He reads them stories and teaches them lessons. Most importantly he is teaching them to love and obey God. A lesson the Christian has to keep learning. He works hard and comes home to us faithfully. That alone is wonderful, but I'm so thankful that there is so much more to his fathering.

What a gift our fathers are whoever they may be.

The Fall Keeps Falling

I am running out of good title ideas. Maybe I need to unlock comments again.(: Anyway, I am having a challenge this raining morning. Afternoon now. Yikes! I still feel achy since mt flu shot last week. I can't seem to get anything done. Not even sure where to start. I think there's been an avalanche and I am under it all. If my therapist was here she would tell me to make a list. Somehow magically that will work. I tried to do my vision exercises and my eyes wouldn't coorperate so there something physical. Probably head pressure from the allergies. So herein is the deal. I will try to get a space cleared and then call it a day.

Confessions

I am starting my own blog to reduce my boredom and give me a place to put my thoughts. Recently some people I know put some very difficult words out for all the world to see. I have been chicken to do the same and now I want to set the record straight. I didn't talk to people from high school for over ten years. It seems so silly now. I found out recently that I'm not the only one who grew up in college and beyond. We aren't kids anymore so the past is just that the past. I'll admit some of it I don't want to remember, but we did have some fun times in high school. The truth is something happened to me that I was not at all ready to talk about so I just avoided people. I got married in 1998 to a really great guy I met in college. We were giddy and in love. We decided after nine months of bliss to have a baby. Why not? I was bored and we wanted one. That sounds terrible to say that, but it is true. Boom one month later I was expecting. Three months later Jo...

Ansomnia

Up in the wee hours of the morning, is yet another perk of being bipolar. Yes, that's sarcasm because unlike some, I don't like being like this. I started getting a little more hyper than usual and now I can't sleep. I slept for an hour or two when hubby woke me up and I couldn't get back to sleep after. So I wasn't worried about anything, but I was wide awake. Even though I now feel tired, I still don't feel sleepy. It is hard to explain. Well I already took some calm down medicine and that didn't work so I am getting ready to take more. I use it only when I have to, but considering I need to function in a few hours I WILL consider this one of those times. I was excited about started school and I guess maybe I am going through an up cycle. That sort of makes sense since I had a down cycle in the beginning of the summer. I am glad that the cycles are much shorter than they used to be. I remember being tired and having little energy or ambition to do anyt...
