today is a great day.  contrary to the popular 70s song, i think mondays get a bad rap.  on that note rainy days do as well. 

i’m very optimistic today because my incredible wife is back home and in action.  you don’t realize how important the job of a stay-at-home mom is until she is out of town for two days and your the stay-at-home dad giving baths/entertaining/feeding/finding (don’t ask)/comforting/chasing etc., your kids. at one point while i was changing my one year olds diaper, my three year old said “daddy your good at doing that now!”  thank you i think…? it was definitely eye opening and will most assuradely stop me next time from saying, “what do you do all day….?” (not a wise thing to say to begin with). so thank you love, you were missed deeply and you are my hero. i love you.

and not to sound like a complainer but this blogging thing is kinda tough.  i mean who has the time?? well maybe its not a time issue but more of a discipline issue? who has the discipline?! and who always has inspirational/revelatory things to say all of the time?? well, i don’t think i do so thats why i’m going to start writing as regularly as i can about whatever is on my heart/mind.  and we’ll see what comes of it.

dont over spiritualize it jody.  God is IN it all.  that’s my new mantra. 

so here we go
