Midnight Madness
I was just sitting at my computer catching up on Facebook and Tweets when I saw that there is going to be a 5k Run in 4 weeks here in Macon, Midnight Madness. Patrick: I wonder if I can do that? Jennifer: I don’t see why not? Patrick: But it’s in 4 weeks…a 5k in [...]
In Case This is Goodbye
I know, I know. I haven’t blogged consistently in a very long time. To tell you I have been crazy busy with life would be a laughable understatement. But…I wanted to share this.
A How To and a How Not To Say: Thank You Pastor!
I was walking around downtown today looking for Noah. I felt my sugar getting low so I stopped into the Market City Grill for lunch. I sat by the window in case I happened to see Noah walk by.
Snackage
I picked up the boys from wrestling yesterday at 5pm. Noah: Dad, did you bring us any snacks? Dad: Sorry bud, I didn’t even think about it. Noah: What kind of Father are you? Dad: Uh, well, I guess I just suck. <a minute passes and I hear crunching from the back seat> Dad: Are [...]
Nice Bike
Tonight we had my parents come down and enjoy a First Friday with us. They loved it and stayed with us the entire time. At one point in the evening some bikers road up and were sitting between the cafe and The Rookery. My Dad is a big Harley guy, so he wandered over and [...]
I Gotta Fever!
It’s Friday ….Laugh!
One of These Things is NOT Like the Other…
(sitting in my truck waiting for Josiah after football practice) Student 1: That white man your daddy? Student 2: Fool, how’s a white man s’posed be my daddy? Student 1: Hell if I know but they ain’t no mo white boys in the gym. Student 2: Maybe he’s lost… I get out of the truck [...]
Dreamin About Bling
Sometimes I know better than my children…sometimes. Last Friday Noah was sitting outside by himself, sulking about something I am sure. While mulling over what a terrible family he has arrived into he began trying to break a piece of a 2×4. It wouldn’t break with the strength of his hands. It wouldn’t even break [...]
To Be a Fly
Alarm Clock Daddy, I’m wet <at 4:50am today>. ~ Ana Stereotyping Daddy, Daddy <in a hushed voice and pointing to a girl at the baseball game>, is that Laura Takisaki? – Ana Theology Dad, I think we should start praying to Uncle Lynn and Jesus at the same time. Cause Uncle Lynn just got there [...]
“Does Bitch Mean We’re Done?”
We have had a lot going on in our family lately and when that happens everyone gets neglected. Jennifer had been noticing that she needed to spend more time with the older 2 girls, so she planned a movie time. It was one of those cutesy romantic comedies that wasn’t too over the edge, but [...]
Red & Black
We have entered a new world – that world is called ‘Little League Baseball’. It is a strange world. Husbands and wives who drive BMW’s mingle with those of us ‘less fortunate’ in our 15 passenger vans. Husbands who were expensive suits and sunglasses are warming up with their kids next to dad’s wearing worn [...]
Pillow Talk
Here is our good morning conversation: Patrick: Oooh, look what I found! Jennifer:<through a stuffed up nose> What? Patrick: An angel has fallen into my bed. Tell me beautiful angel, whatever happened to your wings. Jennifer: <not impressed by my romanticism>The kids pulled them out and I crashed. Patrick: How terrible… Jennifer: <slowly waking up [...]
My Name
Ok, I have 8 blog posts that I have started and need to be finished. Seriously, they are sitting in my draft folder waiting to be polished and published. But I don’t wanna! I do however want to do something silly – one of those ‘Facebook’ silly things. So, here it is ‘My Name’. 1.YOUR [...]
Toddler Reasoning
Ana: Dad, do you love me? Patrick: You know I love you. Ana: <giggling> Do you love me a lot? Patrick: <thinking Ana needs some reassurance I put down my book> Ana, I’m not sure I could love you anymore than I already do. <bend down to give her a kiss> Ana: Then you should [...]
Big Brothers?
When we arrived in Macon today we stopped at a Kroger grocery store to pick up a few essentials. As we were exiting a lady called out from a car behind us. “Excuse me sir?” I didn’t realize she was talking to us until she got louder. “Excuse me SIR!” I had the whole family [...]
Buck and the Black Cat
Jennifer and I have friend named Tab. We met her through an online adoption community that we are a part of. If you need to laugh at someone else’s expense today…well, here ya go. Our beloved dog died several weeks ago (I know that is not funny – hang on). We adopted a dog from [...]
An Unusual Suspect
Great news, I am no longer a suspect in the liquor store burglary. My friend just informed me that the burglar returned to the scene a couple hours later with cuts on his hands and was identified by a witness. Just thought you all wanted to know that my planned prison ministry is apparently not [...]
I Don’t Know Jack!
This past Saturday night I was headed to a store. I couldn’t find the store so I pulled over in a parking lot to search for it on my iPhone. I found the general direction and called Jennifer for more specifics. I began to exit the parking lot when a policeman drove by. I remembered [...]
Hammer Time
I bet you think this is a hammer. Yeah, that is what I thought too…but we would be wrong. You see this is a tool to be used in the garden to dig the weeds up around the tomatoes and peppers. It is perfect because of the weight of the head allows you to drive [...]
The Bull & The China Shop
Jennifer and I went to hear The 5 Browns on Saturday night for her birthday. She loves when we dress up and go out on the town. Listening to 5 people play piano music isn’t my cup of tea by any stretch of the imagination and the following episode illustrates this. One of the Brown [...]
7 Fries
On Wednesday I left for Portland on a business trip. Before I departed the family had McDonald’s together at the Kingdom Kids office. Jennifer picked the food up for us and experienced something that happens all too often. After Jennifer gave the teller most of our order she ended it with, “and I need 7 [...]
