a new alarm clock — the sound of a chair

that is being dragged across the floor. 🙂  such a lovely noise to wake up to. Greetings from this father at Why Not Fathers.  My night ended at 4am when I finally couldn’t keep my eyes open any longer.  Now, it is 6am and I am awake.  Thank you David. The beginning of another day. 🙂 I love him dearly, don’t get me wrong, but what I would give to get a full night of sleep. Cheers everyone will post more about my day later.   Related articles Is It Just Me?

a day of frustrations. started at 4am

we have been really struggling  today.  David stole two cell phones, two keys and a DSI from his family last night.  Between the hours of 3 am and 4am.  How do I know?  Because that is when I was asleep.  the keys are for locks in the house that we use to keep him out of things.  One key we got back already. We also got back the phones and the DSI.  Still constant behaviors. This morning he threw up his meds again.  How do I know?  He is still awake, and the medicine cocktail we gave him should have made him sleep. “I don’t have to listen to you.” This may not seem like a huge deal to most of my readers.  But what if this same thing happens everyday.  Sometimes two and three times a day.

life or something like it.

Things have been kind of crazy here at the Casa de Why Not Fathers. As soon as I can process everything that has been going on, I will post about everything. I had a fabulous vacation with my eldest daughter.  Sadly, another three weeks and she  will be off to college and the next adventure in her life. Moving forward, we had a huge storm on Friday last, and about half of our cottonwood came down.  It was like God laid it down gently between the pool and the garage.  It was pretty incredible.  Two years ago we lost part of a tree and it took out the kids pool, a van, and part of the garage. At any rate, life moves on.  Things should get back to a more normal posting schedule now. thank you for your patience as I adjust to Life, or something like it.
