Off the Pan, Into the Fire

My journey through the realm of raising our sons...

Had to say something

Putting pen to paper, or keyboard to ASCII, has not been at the top of my priorities. It has been quite some time since my perspective on upbringing had driven my to make commentary. Today is no different. I make quips almost daily on Facebook. But that is more reactionary, drunken BS so to speak. With a few exceptions that is not a place for mental digestion.

Raising kids is hard. Keeping a marriage relevant is hard. Keeping sanity amongst it all is hard. Christmas, New Years, school restarting, next year's school planning, upcoming taxes, bills, car repair expenses, dog chewing shoes, and crappy sleep all make for a grumpy, and not-in-the-mood-to-write-Leland.

The kids are fine, the dog is fine, Shanna's fine. Me, we'll see. I'll cope. I hope.
