Took Shannon, my sister, godchild and myself to Andy’s. Was kinda nice in that Saturday Evening Post kinda way. Wasn’t meant to last though. Abigail had a busy day and decided she was ready to go back home right that instance. Never mind the 10 minutes of driving left.
So my big project these past two years has been building a patio and leveling the backyard. Both of these are to help keep the ground drier so that the dogs don’t track in mud. FInally threw in the towel and decided to get a contractor to get me a bid on doing the project. I just can’t seem to be able to finish it myself. Kinda annoyed that I need help in setting the railroad ties but they are just too heavy for me.
On the adoption front. 2 months or so until the big day. Getting really nervous. Will I always make the right decisions? Will I be a good dad? I can’t be the first prospective parent to worry about these things. I just hope that I don’t screw anything up. I figure minor mistakes are going to happen and are ok. I just don’t want to make any big mistakes since mistakes in this situation will effect my son for the rest of his life. Gotta remember to teach him how to be a good man.
Man I am feeling introspective tonight. Usually takes a few beers to get that way but I haven’t had a drop in a while. No big grand plan to not drink, just lost the taste for beer. Used to have a beer with dinner on occasion but now it ends up overpowering the flavor of the food. Oh well, at least I know I won’t miss it if I do give up my six pack a month beer habit… I really have toned down since back in college.
