This is my husband meeting our son for the first time. Jacob was born when Sean was deployed to Afghanistan. Sean left when I was 4 months pregnant and returned when Jacob was 3 months old.
NEVER ever forget the sacrifices that the Armed Forces make. It’s because they do that YOU aren’t forced to.
Thank you, Sean, and all your Armed Forces family.
Thanks Sean for what you did and what others continue to do - enjoy the homecoming!
Tumblr Photo Shoot
We decided to put together an album of pictures and get them printed for Father’s Day for our dads. We used to be pretty good about taking pictures but that has tailed off the last couple of years. So, I opened iPhoto today to find that in the last 2 years, about 45% of the pictures that we have are of my photo obsessed wife in various Tumblr poses….
- Fuck You, I’m in a Bathroom (self explanatory)
- Fashion Show (that’s the one where she shows you the outfit and/or shoes that she is wearing)
- Face Time (that’s the one where its just a face photo)
- Slacker @ Work (self explanatory)
- Mug Shot Monday (self explanatory)
- Feet Up Friday (self explanatory)
- Sexy Sexy Thursday (self explanatory)
Yeah, that’s alot of pictures, but let’s not forget, she is fabulously photogenic after all!
I love my wife
Look away coulrophobes, this one’s a doozy:
“Attention parents: Just in case your children don’t have anything to talk about in therapy, here’s something you might want to consider:
Dominic Deville rents himself out as an “evil birthday clown” who leaves scary notes for your children, warning them that they’re being watched and that they’ll soon be attacked. At the end of a terrifying week, your child will indeed be attacked. Deville, wearing a freaky clown mask, will smash a cake into your child’s face, Metro reported.
Deville is capitalizing on what has become a mainstay for all circus-going kids: the fear of clowns. You may think Stephen King’s “It” was scary, but Deville will keep you shaking in your big, red floppy shoes.
Throughout the week leading up to the child’s birthday, “The child feels more and more that it is being pursued,” Deville told Metro. “The clown’s one and only aim is to smash a cake into the face of his victim, when they least expect it, during the course of seven days.”
Deville harasses his targets with texts, phone calls and letters to let them know that their time is coming, according to the Herald Sun. Of course, since the creepy stunt is “all in fun,” Deville promises to back off if he’s asked to by parents. ”If at any point the kids get scared or their parents are concerned we stop right there,” he said. “But most kids absolutely love being scared senseless.”
Deville, a Swiss actor working in Lucerne, told Orange News that he got the idea from watching his favorite horror movies.”

Give me a “Hell” Give me a “Yeah”
I am done with the chuckleheads and douchebags and I gave my 2 weeks notice today! New position starts soon and I’m really excited.
AMF!
Out of Shape Mofo
I am definitely out of shape and should probably have my feet up, ice on my knees and drinking a beer to drown out the headache. Let’s review how i got here:
- 20 min at gym 1 min running/walking using some insane app by a running olympian
- 30 min at Rebounderz (a trampoline place where you can jump around, jump, jump, jump around) with kids including several jumps into the foam pit
- 15 min coaching 9yo practicing volleyball with her (digging and setting)
- Game of Basketball horse with 7yo (I think he knew i was losing steam as he kept trying to make crazy shots)
This getting in shape idea is tough….tomorrow is going to hurt like a mofo!

Gross anatomy has never been so sweet. The only problem is, we can’t decide which organs to eat first. Maybe we’ll start with the stomach of orange slices and work our way out in a spiral formation…](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3m9ukfcIM1qzfsnio1_500.jpg)

Count of Monte Cristo
I read this book growing up and loved it - the movie is on TV and trying to get 7yo to watch it
Fat Ass to 5k
Starting from the beginning…Day 1
Using the Lolo app, will try Day 1 at the gym this morning. I need to get my body in a better frame now that the job search is done
No excuses - but I need motivation - any ideas?
False Alarm
7yo comes upstairs earlier today to tell me some guy was outside and started talking to him and made that stupid Justin Bieber heart gesture at him.
it took me all of about 3 seconds to fly downstairs yelling WTF. I went outside fully prepared with my camera to get a photo of this potential pedophile and call the cops only to find it was the neighbors across the street who were waving at him.
sometimes the big dog gets off the porch ready to chase some no good pest only to find he’s got nothing to chase after all.
I was more than happy to find that out rather than the alternative, and I’m glad he told me even though it turned out to be nothing
almost there….
made a promise to myself to get a better job this year. I got an offer from a stable IT consulting company that I am going to accept. they need to do a few preliminaries before I can formally start, so I will have to wait before singing “Take this job and shove it” at an exit interview.
Now I need to concentrate on losing some weight and getting rid of my spare tire. I am trying to get motivated to start running and walking/running and eating better. Goal is to lose 10 pounds by July 4.
part Deux
the dictionary definition of inappropriate does not even cover what I am witnessing
9yo: “I am getting braces”
My Mom: “what, you’re hearing voices?”
Pandemonium
my parents and sister are attempting to Skype chat with 9yo while screaming at each other.
my dad just knocked over the camera and said “oh shit” twice and kids are laughing
he keeps saying it and does not realize he is on camera
oh yeah, just heard “mom…put your pants on”
this is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth so help me god
Sunday
