When my kids are trying to tell me a fun story from their day, and it’s just the wrong time and I hurriedly dismiss them in order to accomplish the task of the moment. Anytime I am mean to my wife (words, actions… however) whether real or perceived. Deadlines/promises/goals not met or kept. Seeing my…

[Things That Are Weird] Phone Walkers
I tend to walk around and do stuff while I’m on the phone. Sometimes it’s even just aimless walking, but usually I am just multi-tasking. Do you? I was meeting with a new client yesterday, and he did the same thing. He just took off and started pacing his house as soon as he answered…
I’m A People Person
There’s no denying it now. I am officially and completely a people person. This past weekend we kept our friends’ three girls while they made a super-packed-full trip to their new home in the Washington, DC area. They dropped them off Thursday morning, and we had them until Sunday night. At first glance that seemed…
Thoughts on Barack Obama
I don’t tend to wax political here… mostly because, while fascinated, I think it just gets pretty silly pretty quickly. It’s been an interesting presidential race, though, with two democratic candidates firing shots at each other, and the republican candidate not seeming to have much (real) support from his party. Don’t forget the perpetual third-party…
Back To (The New) Reality
My two week hiatus from my desk job is over. As is my two week adventure of being the primary caregiver for four young kids, as well as taking care of daily household duties and helping Jen & Emma here and there when needed. It was wonderful, and I already miss it, but I am…
Lucky Seven
Being that it’s the last few moments of this year’s St. Patrick’s Day, I figured that was a fitting title. And really, it’s very appropriate. We are now a family of seven, and learning what that means day by day. Of course, our seventh member is not really contributing all that much these days. She…
Sickness Invades The Campbell Home
Jen (the pregnant one) has been sick (on top of the discomfort of pregnancy) over the past couple weeks with a few various ailments, but it didn’t stay with her. Kirstie has been complaining of ear/head/neck pain off and on for almost a week now. This morning, Kirstie was still very lethargic, and her oldest…
Old
I made a quick trip to our grocery story tonight (the local IGA is about 1 mile from our house) to get some baking cocoa for some chocolate icing I was making for the chocolate cup cakes I had already made for my pregnant wife. š I really didn’t want to go – too much…
UBA
I saw a pretty cool thing on the Red Robin website today. We love their food, and celebrate all of our birthdays there, but now I will also be visiting their website. It’s called UnBridled Acts (of kindness), and just features stories of their employees going way above and beyond their normal duties. I read…
Pondering
There are a few things that I am currently pondering regarding life with God and his church. I thought I’d just jot them down here, in a sort of short hand way. Perhaps you are pondering them as well and might add to my ponderings, but really I am putting them down here to look…
