My happiest moment today:

I have three:
1) Drop Dead Dive season 4 is finally on Netflix
2) I received an email that gave me hope
3) I realizes I build good train tracks and had fun tonight playing on the newest configuration.

My happiest moment today:

I fell asleep last night but my happiest moment yesterday was seeing 182 on the scale – down from 183 a few weeks ago. Nice!

My happiest moment today:

Father’s Day brunch at the Abbey, put on by RasieAChild.us. Afterwards we some time in the park. It was a nice time and I met three other families that had gay daddies. I have a new Father’s Day tradition.

Adam was on his best behavior at brunch and shared with others later. Everyone says “sports” “naturally athletic” and “hand eye coordination”.

I found out about a once a month group for gay fathers too and have my info. Finally, a group for me. While I was the only single dad at the event I’m sure there is another one like me!?!

It was weird having a toddler in a bar. Usually one is less responsible at a bar.

My happiest moment today:

After work I took Adam to little downtown Montrose and he checked out the scene. Puppies and milk and fresh fruit and chatting it up with Josh (barista) at the coffee bean. I had bottled water and cleanse shake.

Then we watched Carz on the sofa and he stayed up till a few minutes ago. I was a slacker and no bath tonight.

A good night after a 17 hour day – 15 of it work stuff.

Good Morning AAA

Good Morning Adam,

I’m not sure you’ll ever see this but I wanted to let you know I’m trying really hard today to get everything done and I’m very tired.

I got up at 2 AM to do more work that is only increasing my frustration. At a later time we can talk about work and bosses and the odd way we comprise ourselves at a job. But for now, just understand that as a daddy I know we need to pay the mortgage, keep food in the house, maintain the lighting and heat and save for the future.

I’ve also been working with the doctor on feeling better for you and this is the first week of the cleanse to get the junk out of my body. I don’t know if I’m hungry or not – I just don’t feel like myself. I need to be healthy for you. More than anything, I feel badly that I don’t cook better and you have been eating a little too much processed food.

I’m doing all this for you and that does not mean its your fault. In fact, the best decision I ever made was to be your daddy. With that choice comes consequences and responsibility and its not a burden. It’s a blessing to have you and it’s made me a better person.

So please understand that today I’m tired and hungry and I’m trying me very best. We might need to watch a movie tonight after day care and I’ll try to stay awake. I know I get grumpy sometimes and I’m committing to you today that you will not know the difference; I’ll be a happy day for you.

Have a good day and remember I love you!

Daddy

My happiest moment today:

It was a rough day and I was worried I might not have anything.

But Adam got out of bed, which isn’t suppose to happen and I was ushering him back to bed and he said “daddy, hold me”.

His room has a large chair so I curled up with him. Then I did something odd, I talked to him about stuff that was on my mind. It was comfortable even though he began playing with his hands. But it was therapeutic on some level.

My happiest moment today:

Received a call on something I’d been working on – a little hope goes a long way. Lets hope by end of week it turns into something.

My happiest moment today:

Bubbles in the backyard at the end of the day with Adam and Zacki. I was seeing how big I could get them and Adam wanted to pop them with his nose.

Yep, the energy was to good even Zacki joined in the fun.
