My Wife Says It All, All the Time

Have I told you that my wife has a good head on her shoulder? She says things that need to be said and say’s them at the right time. Her post from yesterday was just what I needed to hear, just at the right time. I don’t think she planed on getting so many hits on it as she did, but she got them for sure!!

I will never have that many people read one of mine, and like her I’m not doing it for that reason. I’m doing it for me and the kids. I want them to be able to look back and remember, I will want to do the same I’m sure.

I belive that I said we are broke and need fixing, I have reached out and have got nothing in return… I will continue to try,  I will not falter. I will go to my death knowing that I didn’t stop! I will want to look at others in the family in the face and tell them that I am trying and have tried to make it right, and to fix what is broken.

Maybe the person or persons who need to read this will and maybe they won’t but it is what I should be doing. Another attempt to make contact and let people know that I’m here, broken, sorry for my part and willing to work it out.

Crunch Time

It is in less than a week….. We have purchased five plane tickets, booked the hotel and car. We have done our homework and found that is cheaper to fly out of Chicago rather than Detroit. Were are ready for the big trip, all that’s left is the packing and Angie has a “list” for me to get completed on my two days off before we leave…oh wait work has other plans, my one day off before we leave!

I can tell you that I am having some trouble… She’s my first-born!! She is a girl, those things make a difference to a Dad!!! Anyone tells you different is pulling your leg! I believe that she’s ready, maybe not all the things that need to be done, but I’m not. I can’t get over the fact that I am going to be “giving her away” , don’t get me wrong I love Caleb, he’s a good man from a fine family. We have known him for a long time and he knows us, not to say that he understands us he knows how we are and he knows what he’s getting with us…no surprises with this family.

Angie has done all a step mom can do for both Savannah and Zack, more than I could have ever asked her to. She has loved them, prayed for them and raised them as her own, we are truly blessed to have her in our lives. She truly is the best and I love her more each and every day.

My prayers are for safe travels, sunny skies and the composure to be the man who ALL my girls are proud of!!!

A Great Two Days

I have been off for the past two days and we didn’t have anything planed which is strange in its self. I’m usually hit with the “list” one that tells me what Angie needs me to get done and what we need from the store and where we will be going! NOTHING!!! Angie has been on the run for the past three weeks with family in town on vacation and as you know we are on vacation!!! So with things back to normal and all the “southerners and west coast family back in their homes” we just needed a few days to get the house back in normal working order. That ment only one thing for the boys and I to do!!! FISH!!! we went both days and brought home some!! Nothing like Jacob’s big bass caught a month or so ago but I just like being out at our pond with them catching fish. We throw most of them back because they are no bigger than Jake’s hand but just being with them and not in front of like my Mom used to say ” the idiot box”….

Not to say the idiot box doesn’t have its place it does, I watch much less than I used to which is a good thing it is now located in our basement and away from our main living area. Today before we went fishing I got to catch a Tiger’s game and a NAP!!! Pretty cool day off if I say so myself.

So tomorrow it will be back to the grind for me and just a word to the “family” thanks for coming I had a great time!!! See you next time,and thanks to Angie for wanting to stay in!!!!

I aim to please

I don’t know where or when I learned it but some how I did. Not sure if it came from my Mom or my Dad but I don’t like to disappoint, I like for people to be proud of me to a fault, I don’t like for them to have “issues”with me. It had to have started early in life because I always remember feeling this way.  I sometimes feel as if it is sometimes more than I can handle. I beat myself up, and need others to bring me back up. I will have to work on it because like I remember ” you can’t please everyone all the time”. But it is who I am and I will continue to please and hope that I do a good job at it. So as I sit here after a good day at work, I met some great guests and had a really good time. I’m taking the time to put down my thoughts. And I like being able to do it.

The house is quiet and everyone is sleeping, I think I saw my breath in the air as I came in the door ( I really like that in July) and I’m good, life is good the kids are healthy, I’m excited to see my first-born take a step in her life that I believe she is ready for and for her to start her life with the man who I hoped and prayed for her too. The only one I can remember her ever dating. I guess the others really didn’t impress me or where not around enough to get to know.

There is a situation that needs to be corrected we are NOT all together, we have a strain in the Moulton chain. It hurts me every day it needs to be fixed and I don’t know how to fix it. I will pray about it before I go to sleep and as always I will give it to the only person who pleases all the time.

 

Dear Friend

Today i recieved a call from a friend of mine with only one thing in mind… To see how I was doing.. We have some things in common we both LOVE the Detroit Tigers. We both love our wives, and he like me loves ALL my kids!!! He is a true friend one who I look forward to talking to and someone I truly miss from my ex-state Tennessee! Thanks for the call. See you soon.

Happy

I’m going to start this by saying I’m very new to this so be nice!! My wife Angie has been bloging for some time and I have admired her abilities in doing so. I have thought hey I can do that I can take pictures to share and I have things that I want people to know about me!!! So here it goes and I hope that I have as many followers as Angie some day and the people that do read this find something to laugh, cry and maybe understand me a little better!!!
