Sep 1: Do You Have Any Idea...
...how hard it is to be romantic when you have spent the last 20 years or more trying (with a fair amount of success I might add) to be romantic.
I mean...when you do so many of the tiny romantic things as a matter of course through the day....well those things lose their kick. Now don't get me wrong. I am No Don Juan Casanova. Its just the big stuff has begun to feel so played out and forced that I feel lost. Nearing 21 years of Marriage and 7 kids total and all the stress of illness in life leaves one wondering what he can do to be romantic. the same numbers above change a person physically and when the one you are feeling amorous towards doesnt believe you high opinion of them the ding comes two-fold.
You feel hurt that they don't believe you and the miss out on how good you actually think they look/are. So much of the literature I have been able to find out there has been geared towards newly weds or marriages on the verge of collapse. I don't claim that I made a perfect marriage but it honestly is not something I would claim to be on the outs. Yes I know that I could take eiher of these to work but in the case of the marriage on collapse... well I have already been doing the vast majority of the suggestions because I always want to be better for my spouse. (lord knows I have enough bad sides.)
Then you look at the newlyweds and it is either completely fake or more often than not completely and totally impossible. I can't exactly say sweet we are taking off for a romantic getaway tonight when I have 6 kids at home. Sheesh, we can't even get 15 minutes alone and quiet in our own bedroom. In the middle of the night the 2 year old is in bed between us. So I am not trying to whine (yes I know I am accomplishing it, try or not). I am just trying to vent so that I can dive back in to trying to find an answer.
I did find rinkworks.com which had a humorous take on how to be romantic. Here is an excerpt from there entry.
Pet Names
To be romantic, you have to call each other names carefully crafted to make yourself and everyone around you throw up. This romance technique doubles as a passion meter way more accurate than those quarter eating machines in arcades; if you use these pet names and don't throw up, you're genuinely in love.
Here's how to construct your own pet name. Mix up the syllables "pook," "wee," "hon," "oop," and "ums," (never use the syllables "skuzz" or "elch"), rhyme a lot, and make liberal references to baked goods. For example, (WARNING! WARNING! TURN YOUR FACE AWAY FROM THE COMPUTER!), "Sweetie Pumpkin Pookums" is a perfectly acceptable and effective pet name, as are "Moopsie Cutie," "Hunny Wunny Cakes," and, for the extravagant, "Snookie Wookum Weetie Bunny Pie." (It may seem odd to novices that cooked rodents would be romantic, but they are.) For best results, speak these pet names with a big dumb grin, an admiring gaze, and a high-pitched squeal, and follow it up with an exaggerated sigh of dreamy contentment. The most important thing to remember about this is never ever do this in front of me.
If you need help coming up with a suitable mooshy pet name, we at RinkWorks have provided a service to help. Visit Fantasy Name Generator and select "Mushy Names."

Aug 24: My son Shaved the toilet!
Gio is still a little guy. When we see him wanting to brush his teeth, we encourage it. But the rules say no food....drinks...or even toothpaste on the carpet.
So, when I found him on the family room couch with a toothbrush and open tube of toothpaste, I felt compelled to tell him to go back into the bathroom.
Unfortunately, I was on the phone with Animal Control seeing if they had picked up Squirt. when I got off of the phone I forgot about Gio in the bathroom. 10 minutes later I found him having covered the entire toilet in blue toothpaste and was usinge one the girls' razors to shave the toilet. my children are strange.

Aug 23: Better than a Cabbage Patch Kid
My sister had TONS of these dolls when she was little. All of my kids have had at least 1 CBK whether they were a boy or girl. Some of them have had more than I can count even for one kid. We still have one that we keep in our room that was Mary's when she was little. It has real doll hair instead of yarn. But now this particular Garding miracle is the best ever.
I think the coolest part is the little kid eating from the Melon.
Sorry for the short post. My back is killing me. I lifted a box wrong while unpacking. It hurts to lay down. It hurts to sit up. It hurts moving from any position to another. The only position it doesn't hurt in is standing up and walking around. The position it hurts worst is sitting in my computer chair at my desk. go figure.
