Ass Blanket: A Love Story...

We've been married for 12 years. A testament to the strength of our union.

We have climbed quite a few mountains along the way and we have also been blessed with more than our share of sunny days.

All those years ago, we looked deep into each others eyes and pledged words that we couldn't have possibly understood until now. We were very young back then.

I fell in love with you the first time I saw you. You looked like Winnie from The Wonder Years. I wanted to become your Fred Savage.

We met at a Halloween party in college. I had a Mohawk. I was dressed like King Diamond. Either you were very brave or very foolish. I still can't believe you let me walk you home.

Time has a way of changing things. It changed our bodies. It changed our dreams. It can break a man's spirit if he lets it whisper in his ear for too long. I have never been afraid of time because I have you. I can count the days and even the years and it never seems to get too far in front of me.

Every season reminds me of us.

The coming of spring reminds me of your laugh. You squeak like a mouse. One of my favorite things about you.

The warm summer breeze conjures up images of holding hands and falling asleep on the beach. I can't think of anything more comforting than the sound of waves crashing and the touch of your hand.

The fall will always be ours. The crisp air was made for us. Every leaf that falls, comes from the eternal tree that has roots in our love.

But The winter is how I know I love you. The mornings are always so cold but your ass is so warm that it makes it impossible to get out of bed.

It warms me like a heavy quilt.

You are my ass blanket. This is our love story.

Out-Numbered by the blessings. So many, I can not count...













Postscript: I registered the Patent for the ®Ass Blanket weeks ago, so don't even try it, Shamwow guy.

Well done. Game on Daddy Bloggers, Jason just upped the ante. Happy Anniversary!

    Yesterday was my 12th anniversary. Back in the day, my wife reminded me of Ione Skye. If she was Diane from Say Anything, I'm not sure I made a good Lloyd (John Cusak). Maybe you were a better Fred Savage.

Things That Suck About Having Kids... Part One

Warning: Please do NOT read this post if you think your kids are perfect, if you are easily offended by inappropriate language or if you have a shitty sense of humor about your children. Continue reading only if you admit that your kids are annoying or that they have sucked at any point in time. I love being a dad. That much I can tell you. I can list a number of reasons that would support that statement but for now I choose not to. What happens to be on my mind lately is how much having kids can suck. I'm not saying that having children sucks all of the time but rather a majority of the time. I know that most parents think their kids are annoying. I know that most parents tend not to talk about this in public. I also know what parents think are annoying about their kids. How do I know this? Because I asked. This is only a small sampling of what you said: The fact that I have to fight with them to take a shower. They act like I am asking for a limb rather than just asking them to c...

The Reset Button...

When you hear a baby crying, do you clench your teeth? Or do you listen until you hear the breath of life, exploding from its tiny lungs. Do you appreciate all that it is worth to you. Do you appreciate all that it is worth to it . When you see a person that needs help, do you turn away? Or do you extend your hand? When you feel overwhelmed by life, do you cry because you can't handle it on your own? Or do you laugh because you know you don't have to? Have you ever tried for just one day, to not judge anyone? Or anything? Life starts right now. Every single day. Over and over and over again. Just for today, wake up with a new set of eyes. Just for today, wake up with a new set of ears. Just for today, judge no one and help anyone. Just for today, give until it hurts. There are 365 days in a year and you only have to live them one at a time. Hit the reset button. It's not as hard as you might think.

The List...

Men are simple creatures. We like steak and Doritos and tools. We don't like satin sheets or hairspray. We despise area rugs and/or tapestries and we absolutely loathe speed walking. We also like Football. We like to watch it uninterrupted on Sundays. And then this happens... Sunday afternoon 4:13pm. Two minutes before kickoff. Chargers VS Jaguars. Out-Numbered - All I ask is that you keep them upstairs until halftime. Wife - Fine. But I haven't had a moment to myself this whole weekend you know. Out-Numbered - I know. I love you. Wife - Whatever. Out-Numbered - Hey. Wife - Yes? Out-Numbered - Can you bring me some snacks? Wife - Go fuck yourself. Out-Numbered - Thanks Hon. She walks up the stairs. 3 Year Old - Daddy? Out-Numbered - Fuck me! Yes baby? 3 Year Old - Can you play supermarket with me? Out-Numbered - I'm sorry baby. Not right now. 3 Year Old - Why? Out-Numbered - Because Daddy is watching football. 3 Year Old - Can't you pause it? Out-Number...
