Nose Jewelry

Here is a kicker... Madalyn just finished dinner and she is sitting on me and as I am looking up at her I notice something shiny in her nose. It was a jewelry bead! What the heck. How long had it been there? How was I going to get it out? I was fairly certain I knew how it got there but I asked just the same.

Of course she put it there at daycare and "yes" it was a bead. After several attempts with the tweezers and a crying little girl I was finally able to get it out. I never thought being a father meant digging jewelry out of their nose. :-)

I think she understands the importance of not sticking things up her nose. I just hope there isn't any other beads up there.

Kids... you gotta love them.

I thought of that after I was done. It was just really funny because she was so relaxed about the whole thing. Like sticking a bead up her nose was the cool thing to do. What she didn't know is that Daddy isn't good with tweezers and it could hurt a bit.

Kids love sticking things in thier noses and ears?!? One of mine put a bead in each ear (small surgery required) and one put a sunflower seed up his nose.

Living Single – Feeling Left Out

Last night I attended a church meeting hoping to make some connections. Since my divorce a couple years ago I have struggled with making new contacts and friends. I have noticed that my patience for people has even diminished causing me to isolate myself more than normal. I guess I have lost confidence in others because of the divorce. To be honest I really didn’t pay much thought to it but recently I have begun to examine myself to see if I can figure out what is going on. The meeting was good but unfortunately the group was not what I was looking for. I was surrounded by people in their 20’s and/or families in their 30’s. As a single parent I really feel left out, even more so as a single dad. There seems to be a class or a group for single women but rarely for single dads. I would love a class like that! As a man living single is very hard. I really want to do what is right but I struggle with desires and female companionship. I often pray to God to help me be happy with where I am ...

Winning Child Custody For Dads

It was several months ago when I decided to file for primary physical custody of Madalyn. Of course I had my reasons but over the years I noticed that it was mostly moms that had custody of the children while dads got visitation every other weekend. To me this was absurd. I knew I had my work cut out for me but I also knew that in my case God was with me. How you ask? Well I prayed for years on whether I should make this move and it took that long for me to clearly see whether or not I was doing this for Madalyn or revenge. Yes, revenge was one of my motives in the beginning. Not very nice I know. Of course I though I had just cause to do it but I didn't want to hurt my little girl if I was just trying to get back at her mom. September of 09 sitting in front of a lawyer explaining what and why I wanted to do I had a peace about me. I can honestly say God was with me and my motives were purely for doing what was best for Madalyn. Even though it took nearly 6 months, and never making...

Letting Go and Moving On

One of my recent posts talked about everything being quiet between my ex and I. It is kind of funny because I have been doing a lot of praying about being able to see Madalyn more and WHAM! not long after putting the post on my blog I get a call. Mom is not going to be able to get Madalyn for the week. The week ends and I get another call, this time mom is crying, still not going to be able to get Madalyn. Come to find out my ex is having problems with finding affordable living accommodations and paying her bills. This has been going on for several months now but I thought she had it all worked out. Anyhow, Madalyn is with me and I am feeling a little guilty. I know the kid misses her mom and I need to put the kid first. So I invited mom to come get Madalyn and go get her hair cut, go out for ice cream, and then go out to dinner, my treat. You should have seen the kids face when mom showed up at the door. She was so cute and a little shocked. She didn’t know how to respond wi...
