Easy Does It
Took some time off recently. Had some extended time with the kids, including a road trip for a few days. Soul Time. Or so I thought. Mostly. I found myself challenged to unplug my head from “work mode”; I found myself still short, snippy with the kids at times; I found myself pushing the pace …

Ten days plus 556 days since the family changed, two households now, split, solo dad era established, Adjusted ok …

Waiting Too Long, or Too soon? R.I.P. Mia
Maybe it’s human nature, avoiding things that are difficult, waiting longer than needed to do the undesirable. Or rushing to decide, to end the angst of try moment. It’s probably always better to “get it out of the way”, do that thing you don’t want to do as soon as possible. Unless…unless it’s ending the …
