The Hossman Chronicles: April 2014
http://thehossmanfamily.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
I'm Not Writing About the Trashcan. Hossmom wants me to write about something that my son did, Bubba Hoss. She wants me to write about how he dropped a very full trashcan down the stairs. That's what she thinks I should write about. She can suck it. I'll tell you why. He did his best to bring it downstairs and I guess technically he did. He did by dragging it to the top of the stairs and then watching it heavily fall all the way down. Boom, boom, boom, trash is everywhere. I was doing yard work all day&#...

Feeling. It's more of a "shit, I went to sleep and now my back hurts" thing. No, what truly lets you know that you've reached adult hood and that you are truly mature, so mature that you can actually tell the difference between knowledge and wisdom, is the things that you actually get excited about now versus when you were younger. As you age you lose that joyous wonder at the simple things and you can mark your maturity by what does excite you now. Links to this post. I quickly change the Taylor Swift a...

A Dad's Heart: March 2011
http://adadsheart.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Changing the world, one Dad at a time. Monday, March 28, 2011. The Other "L" Word. Remember the early courtships—the excitement, the titillation and eventually the feeling that you were really falling for someone? I can recall a lot of those relationships. And I can recollect the anxiety around whether to use the “L” word or not. So what often came out instead? 8220;I love spending time with you” or “I love being your boyfriend.”. With his eyes closed and the hint of a smirk on his face, I lifted him out...

A Dad's Heart: November 2010
http://adadsheart.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Changing the world, one Dad at a time. Friday, November 5, 2010. Recently, I blogged about my 4 year-old’s first case of heart break. It had to do with the departure of his best friend, Louis, as he left daycare to start kindergarten. I was amazed by my son’s level of both understanding and acceptance, fully imbued with genuine sadness. This time, however, there was something new to their play routine. In the middle of playing wolf-hikers or any one of their other made up games, Connor would suddenly pro...

A Dad's Heart: September 2010
http://adadsheart.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Changing the world, one Dad at a time. Thursday, September 30, 2010. Volcanoes, Self-Esteem and Travel tips for Dads. You are looking at a photo of Mt. Rainer from my flight from Vancouver to Omaha for the 15th Annual At Home Dads convention. I’ve seen Mt. Rainer a million times, so why take a photo today? In my corporate workshops for dads. When I told my four year-old son the other day that I was going away on a plane trip today, he asked if he could come with me. At Home Dads convention. I had an essa...

A Dad's Heart: September 2011
http://adadsheart.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Changing the world, one Dad at a time. Friday, September 23, 2011. When I was a kid, every year on my birthday my mom would make me promise that I wouldn't have another birthday for an entire year. First I thought she was trying to be funny. Later, I thought she was nuts. Now I get it. I was growing up way too fast. Despite the cliche moment which was charged with such emotion, calmness prevailed. Until it was time to let go. As Connor's new teacher guided us to the classroom, the tears began to well up&...

The Hossman Chronicles: Baked Chicken and Little Genghis Khan
http://thehossmanfamily.blogspot.com/2015/03/baked-chicken-and-little-genghis-khan.html
Baked Chicken and Little Genghis Khan. Alright. I get it. I need to write again. Everyone can stop yelling at my wife. Well, you can actually yell at her. I'm fine with that actually. If you yell at her, you won't yell at me. I don't like being yelled at. Ok, let's tell a story. His own kind, other 2 year old boys of fury, cannot understand his speech. However, his intention is clear. I. Want. Up. Motherfucker. But no, I can not give into his demands. That would be folly, a fools decision that would ...

I do not know if it is malevolent. I do not know if its intentions with me or my family are pure. Have I been probed in an anal style? I do not know for I do not remember anything when I return from there. And it is odd, because for the longest time I had no idea that I had visited this place. The clock reads 9:43. This cannot be right? I dismiss this, perhaps I read the clock wrong. We go slay some monsters, solve some mysteries, eat some scooby snacks. We head out again on the weekend. Soccer games...

The Hossman Chronicles: August 2015
http://thehossmanfamily.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
We are a cliche. Hossmom is disappointed because the birthday card doesn't have flowers on it. Apparently she asked for flowers on the birthday card and didn't get it. She is a bit perplexed with me I think. I do what any good father does, I blamed it on my 9 year old daughter. Look, I've fulfilled my daughters every wish for 9 years she can take the heat for me on occasion. Is it cowardly? Perhaps. I prefer to think of it as paying off a debt. Dare I tempt fate! I think that is an easy choice. Hossmom s...
