My father had quite the temper. He was always angry about something. Not only that but everyone around him knew it too. He made damn sure of that. We had a kitchen table that hada leg we had to prop under it. You move that leg or the table and everything went. He came home angry the table had a mess... Sign in to see full entry.

sneak peeks
Christmas in our house was always something the kids enjoyed. My oldest son however didn't like to wait to see what he was getting. He would open his presents, peek and do his best to repair the tears. He also got one of his brother to start doing this. I decided to remedy this problem. One year I... Sign in to see full entry.

Cheater cheater
My father cheated on my mom every chance he got. Even before they were married. He always denied it. But there was too much evidence to not believe it. My father took my mom to the parish priest about him having a STD! He blame her for giving it to him. She didn't even know what an STD was let alone... Sign in to see full entry.

wedding
Ok as I said before I am not expecting you to like or dislike my father. These entries are for me to make peace and let go. I am venting. My so called father never wanted to give his precious time to me. That last entry was just one of thousands of times he never wanted to give his time. My father... Sign in to see full entry.
time
My father never wanted to actually contribute his time. I remember when I was pregnant with my third child. My aunt and uncle were visiting from Mexico.

The other day I was trying not to think of my father. But every time I do the anger, frustration and disappointment boil to the top. I didn't expect perfection but I did keep hoping for better treatment for me and my sisters and especially mom. It never happened. I remember I was getting ready to... Sign in to see full entry.

mom and i
I was reflecting on my mom and I came to the realization that we have more in common than I knew jobwise. We both took any job to make ends meet and support our families. We both sold toys for a catalogue company to earn toys for our kids. We've waited tables. We took Santa pics. My career doing... Sign in to see full entry.
