Christina had day one of a dance competition today. She did ok. Her junior team dance won third place out of five, but her intermediate team dance didn’t even place. Billy and I were really surprised because the dance looked great to me. I didn’t see any obvious issues with it that should have kept…

Today just felt so long. I had more than five straight hours of meetings, which is just exhausting. But Robin made tacos, and I love it when Robin makes tacos. And our little boy Pinot got a haircut, so now Christina can leave me alone for a few weeks. TGIF.

Today was a day for AI. I have a GPT at work named Fred who helped me write my goals, write up a control for my training program, and even talked me down when I was feeling like my class was getting away from me. I was very resistant to the idea of relying on…

Robin had a dentist appointment today to get cavities filled. They decided to only do two of the four to try to limit her discomfort since she always gets sores after a filling. So now we have to go back again in a week to do the other two. They tried using a different anesthetic…

I went back to therapy today after almost two years without it. I need to get a better handle on myself when it comes to parenting, and really, relationships in general. Being so wrapped up in Robin’s moods has really taken a toll on me and I’m starting to lose some of the ground I…

I am getting closer to having the rest of this training class prepared. I have 9 out of 20 samples pulled for training, and three of them have answer keys. I feel a little like I’m running on the beach at high tide, working very hard and not getting too far. I feel about the…

I took the kids back to Leaderboard to make up for leaving early on Friday, but holy shit, it was so crowded we could barely walk in the door. We decided not to stay, but of course this ruined Robin’s day. So instead I took her to buy a desk and chair for her now…

Now that Robin and I are talking again, we tackled the massive challenge of cleaning her room. Holy fucking shit. It was absolutely nauseating. There was something soaking wet in her hamper that had been sitting there god knows how long because the floor is now completely rotted where she had it. I am sure…

It was a bit of a rough day. It started out really well. Billy and I went to see the girls’ Oratorical Festival performances at school, and then we went to Leaderboard for lunch and some arcade games. It went downhill from there. Christina started complaining about just about everything. She just didn’t want to…

Billy and I had a little date night. I was not in top form. For some reason I hit a wall around 4:00 and the ground just fell out from under me. I am absolutely exhausted. I think it may have something to do with the fact that I have not been sleeping well for…

I saw a bumper sticker today that said, “Condoms prevent minivans.” It was on a minivan. Kind of made my day. Also this little tiny rainbow at the gas station. Lowlights included this morning’s dentist appointment, where Robin learned she has five cavities and seven others developing. If this doesn’t inspire her to start brushing…

Billy broke out this puzzle the other day, which was a Christmas gift from 2024 that apparently got eaten by the game closet. It’s a fun one, definitely unique. I was happy to get back to the gym today after two weeks of work insanity. It felt like much longer than two weeks. Nice to…

Robin asked to go to a rage room, and who am I to say no? There is some kind of satisfaction that comes from smashing things. And we smashed things. Printers, mirrors, lamps, radios, dishes. We used crowbars and wrenches and sledgehammers. Christina refused to participate and stood in the back the whole time, but…

Jackson very rudely woke me up at 7:30 this morning on one of my precious days to sleep in, which left me angry and slightly depressed. So I took the kids to the beach. It was far from beach weather, so we just went for a walk, but it felt so good to be near…

It was a nice Valentine’s Day. Robin and I made some witty Valentine’s Day cards and left them on cars at the Publix parking lot. Hopefully people found them more endearing than annoying. Christina and I made heart-shaped raspberry jam thumbprint cookies. We splurged and had filet mignon with bearnaise sauce for dinner on a…
