Happy New Year
I’ll be on the engine of a train ringing in the New Year, or should I say blowing? Cause hey, it’s not gonna blow itself.

Deep Breath
Just tucked in the girls for the night.
Listening to them talk about the greatest things that matter to little girls.
Life is too motherfucking short.
On Duty At 8:45
I’m ordered for a high priority Z9. The fastest I or anyone has made the 223 mile trip from Fort Madison IA to KC is 3 hours and 45 minutes.
I plan on cutting that in half.
Can not wait to be with my family.
Da is coming home.
Fragile
I’m losing.
She’s so fragile and I left her behind in Chicago. She comes to Kansas and I go to work and leave her behind in Kansas.
She’s so beautiful and small and fragile and I fail and fail and fail.
Don’t fucking like this or reply just know that I fail.
Just Got A Text
Work text me to say I’m due out on a noon train. For me to be able to afford to fly back and forth to have Josie here I still have to work.
Hold your shit together. You can do this.
Exhaustion
Getting to enjoy what may be ordinary life for you is amazing. Listening to the sounds of your children playing and laughing brings me to my knees.
Everytime Josephine comes to visit it feels like I was just told I’m going to live longer. Like “sir, we thought you were going to pass away this weekend but it now appears your going to live an additional 10 days (two of which will be...
Happy
I know this place.
I know her face.
I know these moments don’t last.
Headed back to Kansas.
Happy
Hear that clicking noise?
It’s my knees.
About to Board
I’ll be in Chicago long enough to get a Reuben from Manny’s and see the end of the Bears game but not so long that the Devil knows I’m there.
monkeyfrog asked: How old is she?
Terrified or The Return Of Josephine
I’m driving to KC today and flying to Chicago around 1. Hanging out at Midway airport, picking up Josie and flying back around 5.
Meeting my ex and picking up my daughter at the airport is huge. I’m thankful she does bring her there it saves a boat load of aggravation.
Before I got hurt I was seeing my daughter every two weeks. I fly there to see her and stay with my mom or fly there...
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wait WTF? No more Christmas Story? No more turkey? No more turkey gravy, turkey sandwiches, gallons of turkey soup, gone all gone!?!
woah woah woah...
A Christmas Story is begining? Sweet! I love this movie!
(missed only one in the last 22 hours)
Calming Down
Payton is telling her FB world about her new Ipod Touch as she’s syncing/stealing my music
Paige is creating an account with Jennifer for her new eReader.
Camron is flipping thru the air playing his new Wii Sports Resort.
Llewellyn is being a good mother to her new baby.
Tadhg is snoring on my shoulder.
Josephine is flying here tomorrow.
I am watching A Christmas Story.
All is...
I'm not gonna lie
I am so ridiculously happy.
Merry Christmas.
Santa out.

Merry Christmas Eve
Know that feeling of impending doom as a kid the day before a big test and you don’t feel you’ve done enough?
It’s how I feel every Christmas Eve cause I don’t feel I’ve got enough presents and always want to run to the store to get more. I panic. I want Jen and each kid to feel like this was the best Christmas ever.
Cause I was hurt and off work for two months...
Merry Christmas Eve Eve
For someone with two thumbs, who is hopelessly optimistic and would give my last penny away - This is by far the best time of year.
I want to give and give and give.
I will sing Christmas songs nonstop for the next 60+ hours or so.
I will say Merry Christmas to *Everyone*.
I (Santa) will be far more excited putting out the gifts and waiting all night than the kids will be when they see their...
All Growed Up
Being at the mall finishing up our Christmas shoping surrounded by teenagers reminds of how awkward I was and how I couldn’t wait to fit in and be cool.
Now my farts sound just like my dad’s.
Post Coital
Me: your skin is on fire
Jen: shhhhh don't talk anymore
Find
After finding happiness in a certain tumblr picture, I’m going now find comfort in a hotel pillow.
DADT
So happy about Don’t Ask Don’t Tell being repealed I could suck a dick right now
Change Comes Hard: Time to talk? →
manspeaker:
It has come to my attention that after announcing my opposition to the downtown Topeka development that some percieve me as “anti” everything. I can assure you nothing is further from the truth. As I think about Topeka and the direction I would like to see our city move I think of one phrase,…
Official
I’d rather snap my back in half as to chew off my own junk than listen to Eminem.
Two Conversations
I just had two great conversations.
One with a new friend the other with a great friend.
Love em both.
