Snuggly kids are the best! Mine don't snuggle often, but those few moments are so precious. Noah is such a cutie!
You are such a fun dad. :) Love it. And Noah is super cute.
That was me. For years I endured bullying, sinking into depression and self-loathing. I was called too many names to remember, but most of them stuck in my mind. I still have body image problems, even as a married woman and a mother. And even though I hate to admit it, it still hurts.
I keep a blog, but it's mostly about my family. http://kissofthephoenix.blogspot.com. I'd love to get more into blogging, though...I just don't really know what I'm doing.
I check SDL daily and mitchmayne.blogspot.com, and then my relatives' blogs when they pop up in my feed with a new post.
I almost drowned on a trip to Hawaii with my husband and a couple of friends. We were snorkeling in a cove, which I had never done before, but I'm a decent swimmer, so we weren't worried about it. A wave came in and I got water in my tube, which I then breathed in. I had no CLUE what to do, because my husband hadn't told me it could happen. So I popped straight up in the water, starting to panic, trying to breath through the dang tube, which by now, since it's a curved tube, was actually down in the water. I was sucking in more water and started really freaking out. My husband noticed the freakage, and his lifesaving training from scouts kicked in. Fortunately, when he came to my rescue, I was still able to remember not to push him under.
Obviously, I didn't drown. But that was quite probably the single most terrifying experience of my life. Trooper that I am, a couple days later he took me to a very quiet lagoon and had me practice blowing the water out of the snorkel to clear the tube. :) Once I mastered that skill, back to the cove we went, and we got to swim with a few sea turtles. And there were no more near-drowning incidents.
That's fantastic!
I'm sorry, Dan. My husband and I AND our youngest were all sick over the weekend, with several hours of violent vomiting. I feel your pain. Fortunately we're mostly better today. :( Sorry about your iPad.
I can't wait to make this. For reals. But, maybe, like, half a batch. Or a quarter batch. After all, it's just me and my hubby and 2 kids....I don't know that we'd eat THAT much.
On second thought, we probably would. But then we'd have trouble fitting through doorways and the like. Worth it? Every bite.
My mouth is still watering at the prospect of rice pudding, and I'm getting desperate enough to search Pinterest. :D
@Single Dad Laughing Is it bad that I can't stop checking to see if it's up yet? I'm starting to drool buckets just thinking about it. :D
@SandiJones1 Oh my goodness. I am so sorry. Sounds like you could use an extra large helping of rice pudding!
I would have burst into tears. Usually I can take a joke with the best of them, but...that was just really bad timing. And as infuriating as it is, I usually cry when I'm angry. Which makes me more angry.
@Single Dad Laughing Oh my heavens, yes please. I've had pretty much nothing but crap days lately, and rice pudding really would make it all better.
What a great way to handle that! It can be SO hard not to react harshly, but you did a great job. Letting Noah lead the conversation made it more manageable for him, and allowed him to work through it, rather than having your perspective forced on him. Way to go, Dan!
I keep cracking up reading your posts. Like, uncontrollably. The upside? My 6-month-old thinks my laughing is hilarious, so I'm reading your posts to a soundtrack of baby giggles. Must....read....more.....
Just found your site. This post almost had me peeing myself laughing. Especially the last part.I think I love you.
