Stepping away

My god, these are the kinds of parents my kids need.

Read this, wherein she quotes from here.

The hardest thing for me about parenting Henry has been the sense that every time I get my feet under me, the ground moves again and I am left struggling to get my balance. I think Henry is doing well, I can see that he’s doing well, but now I am worried all over again, and I am worried that maybe I’m not really helping as much or as well as I could be.

One of the things that I am trying to let go of is that constant worry; I’m trying to look at my children, both of them, and see not what might go wrong but what is going right. But I worry that with Henry, if I’m not ready for the disaster, I will be completely overwhelmed when it comes and will not be able to help him. And so I wait for the next bad thing, which is never — ever — the bad thing I was waiting for but always something I am completely unprepared to deal with on the fly.

My only hope, honestly, is that Henry will look back one day and realize that even when I had no idea what the hell I was doing, I was still right there, trying to do something. Or just loving him for who he is.

Me! It’s all about me!

Just one of those wonderful little updates about myself! The ultimate use of a blog - naval gazing.

Let’s see.

I found this picture of me at wal-mart. Yeah. Did I mention they had some kinda new potato chip? And that I ate a bunch of them last night, and they were really good, and I thought “I should mention this to somebody” but now I can’t remember what they were, other than there was some blue on the bag? I didn’t think I had.

Speaking of eating (I was), I weighed 251 this morning. I’ve officially cancelled my e-diet subscription, since it was $4.00 a week and that was cutting into my ice cream money. Also that I’m only using it to guilt me into writing down my weight, which I do in three other places anyway (here, a spreadsheet that I have, and on my running log at coolrunning). I’m not giving up the lifestyle change, no, far from it. Just not enrolled at that web site anymore. And I lost two pounds since last Wednesday. P

My wife and I grabbed a little grown-up time last night. And for once, I’m not referring to re-organizing closets. As payback, my son was up at five AM today, and he proceeded to make sure everyone else was up by six.

But I was up before him! Because, I run on Wednesdays. 3.2 miles this morning at 11 something minutes / mile. Getting a little faster. Although that is an abuse of the english word “fast” if there ever was one. Maybe I should say ‘less slow.’

Finally, what’s so funny about peace, love, and understanding?

This story might be a little scary for some of my readers. Feel free to turn on a couple of extra lights, grab a blanket, call your SO over to hold your hand. Some of you like scary things, and that’s OK too - there’s enough room in this blog for everyone.

Ready?

We lost the remote to the Tivo.

Thank you, one and all!!

Thanks everyone for the support with my kiddo. Today is much, much better. Last night about 9:00 I finally calmed him (and myself, heh) enough to eat some dinner, and thirty minutes later he went to bed (without being asked).

Yes, he had his medicine this morning )

Now, can somebody tell me why, when on December 28 it is 80 degrees and sunny outside, the kids act like it is abuse when you send them out to play? Gah! Yesterday my wife and I even took them to the park and they didn’t want to go. Might miss something on TV, dad.

Hope everyone is well…
