Happy Birthday
Happy Birthday J, you were so proud of the dress you received from Donna. You also loved the Melissa & Doug Easel and are very excited to use all your art supplies from Grandma and Grandpa Walter with it.
I had an interesting day closing on a house (finally) and getting all the paperwork lined up. This is a lot of stress off my plate. So now I have a goal, a battle to fight, the unknown is gone for now.
The worst part of troubleshooting is the unknown, it is also the best part. However, every time a resolution is found it is a relief to be working towards a goal vs aimlessly moving around to find a foothold. Today was a day of solutions and I am happy with that.
Life of a Kitty
Days like today make me wish my life was as simple as my Kitty’s. Ate a snack at 9:00 then did not eat again until 7:00. Coffee just agitated the situation and the stress of looking for a house. Soon this day will just be a memory.
Battery
Life would be great if we ran on batteries, think about it almost all problems could be fixed with a simple swap of batteries:
Tired – Get a new Battery
Low Labito – bigger batteries
sluggishness – ‘max’ batteries.
insomnia – remove batteries.
Pharmaceutical companies would go out of business.

Toys & Scotch
I have always thought about the time that we forget. What happens to those days?
Today nothing significant happened, we did sign the papers to foster the kids but it isn’t as significant as them moving in however it is a part of my day.
The kids will forget most of these first years of their lives, they will remember the most potent moments. For instance, I remember driving to our house after I graduated from pre-school. But I dont remember my birthday. I do remember a red balloon on the end of a stick but not what car we were in.
What will the kids remember? Will they remember moving day? What happens to all the days they don’t remember, what about the days I do not remember? Do they not count? By no means! These days still shape and make me who I am just as well as the significant days. I need to make sure I keep my thoughts straight on these days, that I keep tuning myself to the Man/Husband/Dad that I want to be. Keeping this in mind each day I try to make myself less of who I dislike and more of the person God wants me to be. I have found that by focusing on how I want to respond to small events in my life I can control how I react to the big ones. This is what will make me who I want to be and a better man than I am. Same thing goes with my children, each day should be teachable and I should lead them in the way they should go, not just wait for a significant moment.
BTW The scotch in the picture is Dewars 12, while it isnt a great scotch, it is a fitting one for this occasion, not memorable, but comforting and tasty.
