Take the good with the bad

I have to admit that yesterday was a swing in emotions. Some parts were very good, others made you want to just give up and go back to bed. Let me explain. I got invited to go out to the Fireside restaurant inside the Decatur Conference Center and Hotel and try out their new menu before they open tomorrow. I had a pepperoni pizza which was very good. I have to admit here on the blog, that I set aside the lifestyle change (diet) for a day and had a piece of chocolate cake. The thing that got me was that it had white chocolate on top which was AMAZING! I gotta give it up to the people at the DCCH. Doing very good things there.

The bad part of my day comes soon after. I return to my wife's parents' house to see everyone. Bethany was giving Connor a break from his bottle and he was sitting on her knee. I did a couple of things and then went to see him. I picked him up as I always do which means I lift him up in the air just over my head to say hi. As I am opening my mouth to say hi, Connor barfs and wouldn't you know it streams perfectly into my mouth. No joke. I immediately spit it into his bib and ran to brush my teeth.

Later that day, I am holding him once again. One of my other favorite things to do is put him on my shoulders and let him sit there. As soon as he sits down on my shoulders, what do you know pukes right on my head. 2 for 2 for the little boy. So once again I run and jump in the shower. Luckily, those were the ONLY bad moments! It's great to be a dad!
