Today’s Dare

For today’s dare, get two sheets of paper. On the first one, spend a few minutes writing out positive things about your spouse. Then do the same with negative things on the second sheet. Place both sheets in a secret place for another day. There is a different purpose and plan for each. At some point during the remainder of the day, pick a positive attribute from the first list and thank your spouse for having this characteristic.

I was completely unable to even attempt this dare today. Why? Let you me tell you why!

My girlfriend Rebecca had this great idea to wake the kids up early, pack lunches, and head to a water park in Door County, WI. Just me, her, and our four kids, ages 18months-8years. Great plan. Until you wake up at the ass crack of dawn, load everyone up, drive 2 1/2 hours, with 4 rowdy kids, only to find out- the water park is CLOSED! Perfect. Awesome. I wanted to ask the lady at entrance what the hell she expected us to do with 4 hyper, hungry kids, who wear wearing swimsuits? And why this closing wasn't listed on the Groupon Coupon that Rebecca and I had every intention of using? She didn't appear the slightest bit empathetic. Bitch. Oh and, thanks a lot Groupon!

An impulsive, very long day trip, turned into quite an adventure. I'm just glad we had the restraint to bring all 4 kids home and no one was left on the side of the road to hitch hike home on their good looks.

So, after 6 hours in the car, a few stage one bed sores, 3 in-car movies, 1 bee sting, no naps, and lunch made up of ice cream from a gas station, the little Schueys are now in bed. And I am enjoying left over spaghetti and a (double shot) vodka soda.

I'm going to sign off, before I black out. Tomorrow is a new day. I look forward to day 8 and some more INSANITY.

P.S. Rebecca, I love you.

Doesn't she have the best smile?

Thank you for making sure I didn't drive the car into oncoming traffic. I wouldn't have wanted to spend such a day with anyone else. You are the perfect Laverne to my Shirley. It was a well executed (?), good old, college try. Positive? I think so!





Oh and, as for some positive things I appreciate about Garth- he is always very calm during chaos (my life) and makes really good (strong) cocktails. I love you baby.
