December 1st???

How did it become December already???? where has this year gone? I am looking forward to the holiday and the busy season at work to be behind me but I am also looking forward to the start of the new year. Not that 2010 was all bad but it did have it's ups and downs. I let go of a relationship that reached it's limits and in the process gained a new friend. On the down side my little man moved 2 hour away. I miss him everyday and love the time I do get to spend with him. I started dating a cop this year and that has been an amazing adventure. She has taught me so much about myself. I love finding things out about myself that I didn't know and with the cops help I am finding my footing and learning to stand strong. This year has been full of challenges and personal conflict and i am hoping the new year will be a great way to start fresh and work on myself and the things that I know need to change in my life. I will be back to blogging more regularly and Checking in more often, I have missed my blog.!

update

so being back in studio is a new thing for me I am adjusting well, OK so maybe a little slow on the adjusting. I have not clocked in and out for over 2 years and something as small as that is hard for me to remember. I know how to do the big things like get the good shots and make lots of money. I do this all well it's the details that slip threw my fingers. The funny thing is I can remember saying to the girls come on its a phone call you have to make its just a this or a that, and now I am one of the ones that cant remember stuff. It's funny how this happens. I love being home at night and having more time with the kids. now that we have the epileptic dog it's nice that we are both home to fight the little bitch to get her to take her meds. speaking of the little dog. the vet told us that she should have a fiend for her to spend time with while we are at work. We have the wiemeraner but he stays in the outside kennel while we are at work (it's heated) they make to much of a mess together so the vet says get a cat. long story short we rescued a male 1yr old cat and they hate one another. so the cat comes out form 2-5 AM and meows the whole time. it's a nice cat now if we could just get it to like the dog and vice versa.

slow start to the new year

So 2009 has started off rather slow, but i think i like this pace. the wife and i have agreed to workout together and do some yoga together. This is not that big a deal with the exception that I need to lose some weight and the wife needs to bulk up. i guess that will be the usefull part of doing yoga help me slim and her bulk. Anyway we have started the year off with a slow and steady pace that seems to fit us. the wife goes back to school tomorrow the kids go back to school and i go back to work. My job is kind of up in the air and though i know that this should give me more than a few sleepless nights, it hasn't. I am good at my job and i like it but my company is going through a major restucturing and I will know in a few weeks if i still have a job or if i don't. I am taking this time to reflect and decide what i want to do. I know that we will be ok either way and if i lose my job I will go back to school. It will all work out and I have decided that stressing about it will not make it any better or worse so i will take it as it comes and move on from there. hope you all are having a wonderful year so far and that all of your wishes for the new year come true.

Happy Birthday to me

So yesterday was my birthday. The wife and I had made plans to go out with another couple. It was the first time we had gone out with them and we had a blast. We went to see a drag show and my favorite queen was there. ( she told the wife and I that we were just adorable). The one lady we were with use to work at the club and she made sure that everone knew it was my birthday. We had a blast and for once I didn't mind my birthday. Thanks to the wife and the girls for a great night.

The perfect revenge

I have just found the most awesome way to get back at Sara palin. I read several blogs and none that are political all the time. It just amazes me that this woman has everyday people so mad that they blog about her, but I digress... I was visiting grumpygranny and she had the best idea and most fitting way to get back at Sara Palin. just go to http://www.plannedparenthood.org
and make a donation in her name. Planned parenthood will then let her know that a donation was made in her name. This will let her know that the women of America want reproductive fredom and family planning. things that I'm sure her own daughter would love to have had access to. Any who this is a great way to get the point across and a great charity to help out. It's realy a win win for all involved.

where did summer go?

So my oldest 2 children go back to school on Wednesday. I can not believe that the summer is over. It seems that we just went to the last day of school picnic with E. I guess it has been 3 months I just want to know why the 3 months of summer go so fast and the 3 months of true winter seem to crawl by. That is someones idea of a joke I'm sure.

My family

So Today I will blog for my family, my family that will aparently ruin all of society. I have a lovely wife and 3 beautiful children. the oldest 2 came with me into this relationship from a previous marriage( this one legal because there was a penis involved... notice i did not use the D word) anywho, our oldest child is 14 and wonderful. the middle child is a sassy 8. Then we have our baby who sadly will turn 2 in July. we have been illegaly married for 2 years. I have been with my partner for almost 5 years and I can tell you that I know that this is the pwrson that I am suspose to grow old with. this is the person I am suspose to drink coffe with and share the paper with. this is the person taht is suspose to take care of me snd that i am to take care of. this is my other half, my reason for being, my heart and soul. this is my love. It seems so crazy to have to justifiy my relationship and therefore my family. in my house we cook we clean(not a much as we should) we make school lunches we do homework we go to sports practices and events. we have fights, we laugh we cry we snuggle, cuddle and just veg in front of the couch. we are the all american family no matter who you ask we are the typical family down the street. we do not hit in our house we do not hate we do not celebrate fathers day, we still pay our taxes and vote all the things that the other families do but we are not recognized and we are definayly discriminated against. this sucks and I do not like it but i would not trade my family for an easier life. i hope if my kids take anywhing away from my life they understand that easy is not always best and to never settle for what someone tells you is good enough.
I know this had rambled and it makes no sence but there is my blog for LGBT families.

new year new me take 2

so for the start of the year I decided that I would try and lose a few pounds,.... well that has yet to happen. It has been a combination of things with work and a busy schedule being my main cop outs however i think that my total lack of time to prepare nutritious food is also right up there. I know that these are all just excuses and not good excuses however with summer here and the weather getting better everyday I do believe that I will have more outside time and be able to at least move my body more. I have also started to do more yoga at night and that seems to be helping my mind if not my body. I should state that I am not all that uncomfortable with my body, I lost 175 lbs about 4 years ago and have in the last year put about 45 back on, I know that a lot of this has to do with a work change that has me in ky car and not on the move at work a lot and I also do lots of lunch meetings that I find it hard to eat light at. I know all this and yet I am still eating and drinking my way to bigger pants. I however refuse to make this space about my weight loss battle, I just needed to put it down on blog so that it felt more real and I now have to get started for real. i will update my progress I think !
for now I am going to go and enjoy the sun with baby S. burn off the soda I had with lunch!
