Post Father's Day Monday Post

Another Father's Day has come and gone, and I sincerely hope that this one will be the last one to feel so bittersweet. I am minus one child who I have not seen in way, way too long. He and I stay in contact the best we can, and have for these almost 5 years. But it's just not the same. That and I didn't actually know my biological father my entire life, so consequently I've never really celebrated it anyway. But my stepson, my youngest boy, and my twin lovebuggs were with me, and that sure means a lot. My Father's Day gift was to be able to sleep and actually get more than a four-hour stretch this time around. In general my work schedule starts at 6:30 AM and doesn't usually and until midnight, after which I need at least an hour to "decompress" before I try to get some sleep and start the process over.

But yesterday I did something amazing. I closed my eyes stopped moving for about 10 hours. It was absolutely luxurious, and I had even spoiled myself a little bit the night before by playing a bit of new Vegas before I passed out. I woke up to my two boys thrusting beautifully homemade cards with chocolate bars taped to them in my half asleep face. Believe me when I say that it was alot more adorable than it sounds...

But as I said before, I never knew my real father. But I still managed to learn honor, integrity, and a good value system from other male role models in my life. In fact, I even made a collage of them that I was going to post on my Facebook profile but decided against it.


Happy Father's Day Guys!! (Click for more detail)



Yeah, so these are my "Dads". some real, some fictitious, but all had a hand in making who I am today. I didn't turn out so bad...

But on a less tragic note, Happy Birthday to Gillian of A Daft Scots Lass, one of the absolute favorite blogs that I currently follow. Stop in and wish her a happy birthday and let her know Aaron sent ya! And this week will bring another addition of "Drunken History" by VBS.tv, a new "Bastard Wildlife", my successes and failures at "Making Something From Nothing", and a new installment of my backstory. I'm looking forward to a great week, and hoping you all are as well!
