It's that time of year! Time once again to confront our imperfections. What a humbling experience this is right? What are the things I need to work on to make myself a better: person? dad? teacher? friend? husband? It's a bit easier for those married guys out there as we have a constant reminder of our imperfections. Funny I didn't hear anything about this part of our verbal contract during our wedding ceremony. Kira and I have taken to calling it "The List."
More than likely, by the time you read this I will have broken a majority of my resolutions. Being a creature of habit I can tell you that on New Year's morning I will...wake up slightly hung over (one resolution down), sleep late (doh, that's two), yell at my kids for fighting (there goes the more patient dad resolution) and if I swore at my kids to "Just learn how to share the %$@in' computer!" I just might be out of resolutions...wait....there's still hope!
At least I started this blog right? This is something I have wanted to try for a long time. I invite you to access this blog occasionally and hopefully you will find something entertaining in my rants and ramblings. Welcome and Thanks for reading, Jim Spinner

ReplyDeleteYou know ..... you are not alone in home repair mishaps. I can tell you stores about how I drilled through water pipes, caused leaky basement walls, or patched roofing titles only to see them leak again.
ReplyDeleteI feel your pain especially since my dad was a handyman of sorts, auto mechanic by trade, who never called a service man for anything.... He just learned "on the job".
But the best part of the story, which I truly enjoyed, are your memories... Those hit home.
Thanks for writing!
