So I am in an angry troll kind of mood.
 
Ethan had his second urodynamics test today, but I could not go because we had an emergency at work (it is 7:15pm as I write this…I am still at work…waiting for customer confirmation).  The Urodynamics test is by far the most invasive test ever conceived of [...]

Darth Bunny

 
Last night I finished a Star Wars novel (Dark Lord: The Rise of Darth Vader).  OK, I can hear the groans through my monitor.  It is cheap pulp Sci-FI, but I can sometimes pull meaning out of a Huggies commercial, so go figure.
 
I am fascinated by the character of Darth Vader. 
 
When I was a [...]

Specialist Buffet

This week we have our Spina Bifida clinic appointment (they accept VACTERL patients too).  He sees 5 specialists all at once.  It is bound to be a multi-dread week.  First of all, the only appointment we could get was on Jenn’s birthday, ugh.  Two and three are more serious matters.
 
They took hip x-rays at his [...]

Mello

 
I love Saturdays, especially when there is no agenda.  I was a bum most of the morning except for the “procedure.”  We went to the mall for lunch.  I had bourbon chicken.  Then Jenn bought socks while I got Ethan a haircut at Cartoon Cuts.  I got to watch an episode of Fairly Odd Parents.
 
We [...]

Trashy

 
I am sometimes amazed at the amount of trash my family generates.  When I was single, I might have had one paper bag full of trash a week.  When Jenn and I got married, that increased to about 1-1.5 garbage bags a week.  After we had Ethan, that number of bags increased slightly to about [...]

Spoiler

The Fam and I went out to dinner with some friends from our old church.  They felt the need to tell Jenn and me how awful the new music director is. 
 
It was my hope that I had “moved on” since leaving Floris.  But their comments lanced a hidden boil in my soul.  It just [...]

Me me me me me me me

I am sitting in the computer room overlooking the park, watching the kids come and go.  Today was a long day.  Ethan had an upper GI test (x-ray with dye in his stomach).  The test was at 8:30.  I expected to get out by 10:30, take Ethan to lunch, and then have some me time [...]

Would you buy a used car from this man?

 

 
I have always been a square peg in the round hole of faith.  If I lived 1000 years ago I would be burned at the stake.  That is OK, I like barbeque.
 
Yesterday I got an email from a customer who works at a Christian University in Lakeland Florida (yes, that one).  She was asking for [...]

Concentrated Dread

Tomorrow we are going to Ethan’s Spina Bifida clinic.  When Ethan was a baby, we had 5-6 specialists that he saw on a regular basis.  Each doctor wanted their own set of tests.  It was Jenn’s full time job just lugging him around from appointment to appointment.  Then there was the dread each time they [...]

Having My Cake and Eating It Too

It is a miserable rainy day today.  I had a lot of excitement at work this morning, but now it has died down.  I am basically done with my assignments for the day.  There are a lot of projects I could start, but I am not motivated enough to tackle any new work.
 
I am in [...]
