Well within a team of when I posted last as expected lots of drama around our home here in the Midwest. My daughter hurt her knee in swimming, my son has a new girlfriend that he denies, and my wife missed her medication so she is well a little dramatic to say. So I guess you could say things are quite normal around our house will.

The truth is I think I probably signed up for this. I kind of knew it was going to be like this and there was a part of me that wanted it. You know what’s weird is that when it all started dating my wife there was a part way deep down inside that was quite excited by all the drama. You see I was brought up in a home that was very quiet and non dramatic. We never raised our voices for much of any reason and we thought most all of our actions through before we took the first step.

On the other hand my wife’s family over dramatize as everything and when I say everything I mean everything! It doesn’t matter what it is they get excited about it and their voices raise for no reason at all at least that’s my take on the whole point. So day in and day out we have this battle. I say calm down, she gets excited or more accurately it’s the other way around. She gets excited and I say calm down and around and around and round in a circle we go.

Finding a happy medium in this home has been a lifelong task. Don’t get me wrong I’m not complaining really, I love my wife dearly but I would like her to relax a little bit and not be quite so excited about everything that happens. I like peace and quiet she likes noise I hate the TV she loves the TV. She loves to go shopping I hate to go shopping. If it were up to me I would never set foot in another mall. I hate shopping. Oh and another thing I hate driving. I like to drive anywhere. Now walking that’s another thing I do enjoy a walk. Cannot take a walk just about anywhere even if it’s to the store or to pay a bill if I can I’ll walk.

So you see the drama and the dilemma that I find myself in one of my own choosing and one that I choose to stay in because somewhere deep down inside I think this drama kind of excites me and I live I carry sleep through it. Isn’t that funny about how life is? We choose the things that are unlike us because they’re different.

I thought the writing for this blog would be much easier than it turned out to be. When faced with the reality of having to write something that the whole world going to see a sort of froze up. I want to make the right impression I want to say something profound but those thoughts just don’t seem to come to mind at least not yet.

I guess I should not be so hard on myself as this is really only the second post I’ve written. I mean it’s not like I’ve been writing for years or anything like that. Besides as far as I know I’m probably the only one reading this at least for the moment.

Finding your way around the blogosphere can be a bit confusing to someone that doesn’t have that much experience, like myself. I have learned that most of the bloggers that have the sort of blog at least find their inspiration from everyday life. That should make writing a whole lot easier as far as I’m concerned because my life can be quite colorful at times. With two kids and five dogs and a wife things are never calm.

We have had adventures like you would not believe since we have been together so I should have plenty of material over the next bit of time. I may intersperse that sort of post with many others as I really don’t know what direction we are going to go but it should be a lot of fun. At least for me.

First of all, I have been in management for years and have worked for several companies and have never really been fulfilled in my job but it pays the bills at least we live in the Midwest United States and have for all our lives. My wife is from the same area as I am but we did not know each other until we were out of school and had our own lives.

Well, that is enough for now, we can continue this next time.
