I’m writing this after basically going radio silent on Election Coverage shortly after the Georgia Polls closed. I heard a few slightly not good comments about the turnout in Georgia and I started having panic attacks. I had the realization the feelings I was feeling were not healthy and also not actionable. Its no like…

Chasing Children
I now realize what it means to have children with the zoomies. I had a dog once who had similar behavior, but recently around 6:30pm Teddy will start doing laps in the kitchen living room. Yelling some form of jibberish on repeat. I think I watched him do this about 25x at full toddler speed…
Early Tales in Potty Training
Today Teddy pooped in the potty for the first time. May the church bells ring across the land. More interestingly enough he did this without any pushing from. We don’t plan to start potty training for a couple more days, but Teddy has gotten super into the idea of pooping on the potty, so why…
Paternity Leave Update
So, it turns out when you don’t sit in front of a computer eight hours a day its challenging to write several paragraphs about what’s been happening. My day is either chasing gremlins or sleeping, and at night I’m far too tired to use a computer. Though I guess I’m not too tired to get…
I was wrong
Today while reading one of Teddy’s favorite books (probably) “The Busy Busy Construction Site”, he particularly loves when I point out the construction equipment and say, “dump truck” or “pipe layer” or “bulldozer”. Well on one of these occasions I happened to say “Foo” and Teddy said… “No daddy, Bar” and I realized I had…
The Unspeakable Horrors of the Norovirus
Well, it happened, we all got violently sick. Well Kate didn’t* but Teddy first, then me, then Ella. It was awful. Teddy woke up at 7am and was acting very “Calm” Kate brought him in to our room for me to investigate. I was like look he seems cool. Tickled his feet a little, got…
Feeling unlikeable
Sometimes, my internal monolog kicks in and I convince myself no one likes me. Usually after I see some friends went out and didn’t invite me, or I invite someone to do something and they decline (often very reasonably). Sometimes I feel like my personality isn’t clicking with others. Or I feel like I’m doing…
Fears of Bluey
I am deeply afraid that my children will outgrow bluey before I do. Like what if they make excellent television for the next decade. Will I be forced as a 50 year old man to watch Bluey after everyone goes to bed. Will I continue to be a wierdo visiting /r/bluey so I can continue…
Baby, I am so sorry for delaying
Ok, in my defense Ella, you and your brother keep me sooo busy, but today, well yesterday, was such a big day! You rolled over, and not the standard bell to back, but the harder version back to belly. Now no one actually saw this in action, but you were on your back, then you…
A Fresh Perspective
You know I was just thinking about my mom. She was a lot. She was a constant source of stress as I got older. You know what though, she was a single mom with me till I was seven. Got divorced shortly after I was born. My dad, her husband, especially at the time SSUCCKED. …
