I had given this blog up for lost. Our website was destroyed and I thought that access to this blog had gone with it. I went back, looked into all of my old passwords and usernames and found the answer.I feel relieved, I spent a lot of time on this blog and in recent weeks have been missing the outlet that it provides. I have recently been associated with a group of people that are urging me

I picked Patrick up at 07:00, we headed south to meet with the proprietors of a discontinued merchandise retailer.

I am no more comfortable with the state of our Union today than I was yesterday. President Obama is an orator of the highest order, while listening to him it is easy to be swept along in the current of his words and the emotions of his message.I like that as a Nation we are attempting to do something and I find it difficult to criticize with out offering another solution. I do not have a

Raising children is difficult, and depending on the child, can be very frustrating. I do not have a strong grip on what motivates my son David. I do not know why he makes the decisions that he makes. At five years old he as had consequence explained to him and he has demonstrated an understanding of this concept. When the time comes to make a decision the lesson can be lost on the boy, his

I watched the President last night, he is a dynamic and informative person. I appreciate the way that he answers questions with solutions and explanations of his solutions. President Obama lets you know where he stands and why he has chosen to stand there.President Obama wants the current economic stimulus package to generate 4 million jobs.

Obama has put a 1 Trillion dollar economic stimulus package out there and it is getting killed! Conservative talk show host and legislators across the nation are ripping it to shreds. What's a President to do?I say reach out to the GOP and ask them for their plan. What steps do they feel the Nation should take to climb out of this mess?

I have not been on the bicycle for 12 days. I have had different excuses. A couple of days I had a chest cold, it rained for a few days, some mornings arrived far to soon to get my ass out the door in time to ride and get to work. The rain is the only legitimate reason to not be out there.I brought Merry to her Ballet class in Boston on Sunday morning. Merry has one special friend in the

My faith in the democratic process has been repaired, a bit. The fact that our elected representatives did not allow George Bush's White House to bail out George Bush's friends is refreshing. While our Government was busy chasing Justin Timberlake and Janet Jackson around for her wardrobe malfunction no one was paying any attention to Wall Street. They were stealing and it has caught up to

Its been a month since my last post and lots of things have happened. The thing that has affected my life the most over the last 30 days is the shorter days. I do not like shorter days, I like longer days. The sun is not getting up over the horizon until almost 7am, the mornings have been cold, mid 40's. The combination of cold, dark and the need to be in the shower by 7:30am is pinching my

When I was sixteen I used to water ski three or four times a week. During the summer three or four of us would get together after work and head out on the Essex river to test our skills.After graduating from high school the water skiing stopped. The reason, I got to big for the boat to tow and the kid with the good "ski" boat sold it.We took a mini vacation this weekend to a lake house in Maine,

This is my bicycle, I got it on 7/30/2008, I have ridden 5 of the first 7 days and traveled just over 65 miles. Every day I get stronger and more comfortable. The route I have been riding is 13.9 miles, my fastest time is 51 minutes. My speed has increased each day out. The last ride averaged just over 16 mph. It has been a good start, here's to the future.

I got out on the bicycle this morning and started to learn to ride again. It took five miles to figure out how to shift the gears. The shifters are built into the brake levers, what will they think of next? The tires on the machine are very narrow, if the rider were to swerve off the pavement and onto the soft shoulder there would be an accident. The bike is wobbly and does not like variations

Not much of a Daddy Blog these days, however all the work that has gone into this blog is now being exploited in my entrepreneurial life. I am blogging about carpenter ants, termites and rats, I am directing the search engines to my company website and I am seeing how it goes. My hope is to recreate the success I had optimizing the Tutu Boutique. Wish me luck

That was a trial, surviving an hour long, snooze-a-thon, while keeping a two year old boy who is jacked up on a blood sugar rush, fueled by chocolate and jelly beans occupied is tough. I am worn out, the six year old and four year old were not much better, opposite in fact. They were coming down and felt that the pew we were in was their own personal park bench. They did not understand why

My family has been in the pest control business for over thirty years. My father started the company I work for now back in 1979, before that he worked in the industry for another company.The way our industry has traditionally reached out to residential customers has been the yellow pages. The yellow pages are very costly, you can easily run up a tab into the thousands of dollars every month.

I am nervous, Merry and David got ski lessons for Christmas, when Merry found out, she declared that she does not like skiing because skiing is cold. I am nervous! I want so much for them to like it.Their first lesson is tomorrow night at the local ski hill, where I learned to ski 35 years ago. This weekend coming up we are off to Sunday River. Man, I hope they like it.

Wow, Thomas has been sick, nothing melts my heart faster than a sick two year old. He started sleeping in our bed about a week ago and now I can't get him out. He has been able to bust out of his crib for a couple of months now. His ability to escape, having a place to go and a soft spot in Daddies defenses has made for some very uncomfortable nights.There is a battle on the horizon. Getting

Moving through life I am confronted with many interesting, thought provoking episodes. In the past I would stop, make a note and bring a coherent post to this little blog.Life has really picked up speed and I can't seem to take the time to pull over and make a note. The lessons are lost to me. I can remember three or four times in the last six weeks that I thought about slowing down the

Mom and David clash, we don't call him "wrongside"for nothing. David is the child that has always provided Heidi with the biggest challenge and the bigger he gets so grows the challenge. I wish that I could help, I feel helpless, I do not have any answers.

Merry will be performing as a mouse in a regional production of the Nutcracker. Merry is very excited about this opportunity. In a remarkable show of maturity Merry made the right decision. Merry was scheduled to see the Nutcracker in Boston on the same day as the dress rehearsal. Mom suggested maybe she could miss the rehearsal, Merry had none of it, "you can not miss the dress rehearsal Mom!"

The tutu boutique blog has become a lonely place. I very rarely post anymore and I am not exactly sure what has changed. The business is booming, I marvel at the traffic that flows through there, close to 1,000 people a day are looking for tutus, who knew? not me. We have grown over 100% in the last year.On the home front Merry has settled in very nicely at kindergarten, she really enjoys it.

Thomas has finally arrived at "Why?" It took him longer to get here than it did his brother and sister, but now that he is here he is taking full advantage.With Merry, I made up a reason every time she asked "why?" David got an answer 80% of the time. Poor Thomas is not so lucky, I find myself sticking to the facts of the "why" and if I am not in the mood "Because I am your father and I said

Merry starts kindergarten the first week of September and I envision the worst. Merry is a girl who reaches out to others and exposes herself. She puts it on the line allowing complete strangers access and I know that this innocence and trust is ammo for the rotten little kids of this world.I expect that her vocabulary will be enriched with slurs and hurtful names.

Maxwell is slowly learning to walk. The dog goes to physical therapy once a week at $165.00 a trip. When I was attending physical therapy it only cost $75.00, if the kids don't get all the money the dog will. I just hope he doesn't die before I pay off the credit card. He will have to live to 100 and that is like 700 in dog years.Merry will be attending kindergarten at the Winthrop school.

Our adventure with the public school system has begun. The summer before you enter kindergarten you find out whether or not you are in the full day program or the half day program. This is a big deal to those involved and the stakes are high. A consistent full day schedule or in inconsistent half day program that meets four times a week, starts at a different time everyday and ends at a

From the deck I had a great view of the long sloping lawn, on the lawn played the children. Merry, Marianna, Abbey and a boy named Joe. The children were unaware of the middle aged man on the deck watching their every move.I watched a power struggle develop and get resolved from my perch on the deck. Merry and Marianna had opposing ideas for Joe and his time and neither was ready to back down.

The reason for this blogs existence, it's raison d'etre is Google and getting Google to believe the best place on the internet for a mom to find dress up clothes and tutus is the Tutu Boutique.I have neglected this responsibility and have slacked in the shameless self promotion department. So here I am before the Internet proclaiming the number one Tutu site on the web to be The Tutu Boutique.

While Merry and David were away with Grampy and Maymay, Heidi and I decided that we missed the two little ones very much. We were having a great time focusing on Thomas and Thomas was enjoying being the center of attention.Merry and David got home before noon yesterday and by the time I arrived home from work the children were no longer missed. Thomas had competition to be the star, David

Merry and David left town Saturday morning. They went with Grampy and MayMay for an over night in Maine. Turned out to be two overnights but we were unaware of this when they left.Heidi and I were left with only one child, Thomas was no longer the baby, Thomas became the only child. At two years old next month, Thomas has not had a lot of time in his life where he was the center, this weekend

Did you see that? I have magic in me. I talked trash about the Yankees and they won because of it. The Sox had 'em on the ropes last night and I fell asleep. I woke up this morning to the news that A-Rod belted a two run homer off of Papelbon. I bet if I had stayed awake The Sox would have won. I never realized I held such power.The Yankees are still cooked no matter what I say they aren't

Say Goodnight to the Yankees. After this weekend is over nothing is going to save them. The only thing I like better than the Yankees losing is the Red Sox winning.After the Sox take two out of three, who on the Yankees roster is going to be left standing? I wonder if Roger has a "No Trade" clause. They are going to need a new manager, it was a good run Joe. They are going to need a new G.M.

What a great beginning to summer. We visited with friends, attended a wedding, marched in a parade, did lots of swimming and had a cook out. The only thing we missed was a trip to the beach.The boat is broke! but it is OK because we got Grampy's pool. Life is good except for the fact that I still haven't figured out how to play with my kids full time instead of going to work.

Part of me feels that they have to be kidding, graduation from pre-school warrants a ceremony? Pre-school is more of a mommy breather than something that merits a graduation. There is no home work, no tests, half the class still can't read. The "art work" that makes it back to my house shows good effort but if I were running an art school I do not think it would merit a diploma.The other part

I did it again, we signed up with another Direct Selling company. The income and and quality products we have enjoyed being involved with Arbonne made it much less stressful this time around.I view this network marketing thing as the wave of the future. It cuts out huge marketing expenses for the companies involved. Tide spends $1,000,000 a day on advertising. Direct selling companies spend

I do not have much going on considering blogging about parenting. It feels almost as if this parenting trick has become routine. Thomas has not reinvented what it means to be an almost two year old boy, David is a rather predictable three year old and Merry, in my eyes, is remarkable and good.Most of the exciting, insightful stories have been told. The diapers, snots and stories of first steps

I want to take a minute to wish the Big Dubya a Happy Fortieth Birthday. When I started this blogging adventure over 305 posts ago Dubya was one of the first daddy bloggers that I found.I reached out to him for a reciprocal link and he said sure. Then he made fun of my High School. It happens all the time, kids educated by Jesuits are jealous of us with a Xaverian education.Happy Birthday old

Thanks for asking, not a hell of a lot. Thomas is talking in paragraphs that only his mother understands. The kid goes on and on and on. If you can't actually here him you might think what he was saying made sense. It does not, his cadence is on but his pronunciation is terrible. All of his gestures and facial expressions let the listener know that the kid has conviction, he just doesn't make

Heidi has been wearing these kids out. The weather went from winter directly to summer and Merry, David and Thomas have been outside all day long everyday since last Saturday. Playing outside makes for happy, tired and mostly agreeable children.This is the time of year I feel regret that I can't be there playing along. I much rather be swinging on the swings or sliding down the slide than

Red Sox vs. Yankees was a smashing success. Friday night Mariano Rivera came in to close out the game in the eighth and gave up just enough runs for the Yankees to loose. Saturday afternoon the Sox beat them again and then on Sunday beat the Pin Stripes again. It could have snowed and it still would have been a good weekend.The thermostat hit 70 degrees both days and I got back to painting

We interviewed and offered the job to an outstanding candidate, she was to start on Monday.We got cold feet, after careful consideration Heidi decided that it would be better if I took on more responsibility around the house, allowing her more time to work her business.

What has gotten into you my little friend? This week has not been good. You have decided that you will throw fits at your discretion over silly things. They seem silly to us. To you they are of dire consequence it seems.I admire your tenacity but I have to warn you, your behavior has put you very close to the edge.

I have been looking at this screen on and off for three days and the only stuff that I have come up with has been so negative that I refuse to publish it.
