Wow, I wish my dad had have been like you Ian. *sigh*
Remember to have some fun though, kay?
Purple, this is all very new to me still. I was not a good father for 12 years of Tawny's life and 8 of Ross' and am trying to make it all up now. It took Carrie walking out on me to make me see what is truly important.
As far as fun goes, I try to keep myself happy. I am playing ball again once a week. Going to the gym 3 days a week, and dating a wonderful girl. In fact, Carrie picked up Ross tonight and Tawny is staying at a friends since I have to work in the morning so Jaqueline is coming to stay over tonight. I can't wait to have some alone time with her.
Awwwwwwww come on now.........don't be so hard on yourself. You might be surprised at what your kids have to say about how they saw you as a Dad. No one tells us how to do this parenting thing. We just do the best we can. Besides, what's important is what you're doing to make sure that the bonds are strong from now on. When they needed you most you stepped up to the plate. That tells the whole story.
So uh, where's my drink? I'm thristy after my travels!
Do you see how I think you could go either way with that?
I will try it. Although I'm not very good with any liguor strait up or on the rocks. I get really happy, reallyyyyy fast! Hey Ian, tell Kev I saw his Cubbies.
Oh come on, that was a no brainer. I just went to a football party at Mizzou last weekend. They are so hopped up more so than normal. My daughter went to the game with her boyfriend who goes to U of I (as did half of this town). U of I fans do have big dreams this year though since they are in the top 20.
