Today is my husband's birthday. He's 36 today. Joel is an amazing man. He does so much for our little family and I take him for granted all the time. I wish I could do more for him on his birthday, but he doesn't want nor expect much - he just wants a quiet evening with his family.
We had a great time yesterday. We had lots of friends over celebrating both his birthday and the Superbowl, as well as the birthday of other people who were celebrating within the next few days. It was a lot of fun. The kids, as always, had a blast.
My dad is doing great. He got a clean bill of health and much praise from the doctor today. I'm so proud of how well he's been doing. So much of it has to do with the fact that he was very healthy otherwise before having the surgery (besides his heart) and the fact that he is so determined to get the hell back to work and get out of that house, so he's willing to comply with everything. I think it's great and it's really showing my kids a great example of what a strong person he is and how you can overcome just about anything and come out stronger on the end.
I haven't been keeping up in my blog. It was one of my (actually my only) New Years Resolution. However, I am having a hard time with it. I come on here at least 3 times a week to say something and I come up blank. It's not that I don't have anything to say, if you spend enough time with my family you know we have plenty of action to report. Sometimes I actually get the whole thing typed out and then I delete it. I don't have a real reason for this. I'm having a hard time with the whole "oversharing" part of the internet. I feel like sometimes every single part of our lives is plastered all over the internet and everyone, even (especially) those you wish didn't, knows about it. I am guilty of this as well and I am trying to make myself more aware of it, but it's hard to not get sucked it. I am not one of those people who keeps track of who reads and doesn't read my blog. I have a tracker on it, but I forgot the password for the account and haven't checked it in years. I don't care who reads it, or even if anyone does at all. When I type a blog I try to invision NOBODY reading it and then I don't feel so bound in my communication, but that's becoming more and more difficult as of late. Maybe once I get over that I can post more often. Maybe I should see a therapist or something, but I don't think they have blogger block therapy sessions. Maybe I should start one.
