Tiny randomness #1
So I give my son a bath and as I go to pull him I first take his towel and lay upon my body so that when I take him out he has a landing spot and then I wrap him up in it. Well I grab the towel and bite the top so that I can fold it over his head to dry his hair. Of course as I am sitting on the side of the tub I go to pull him out, as I'm pulling him out he, without me realizing it, grabs the towel with him so that it un-capes me and as I plot him down on my lap his wet body lands on me instead of the towel and I am become the towel, that is my clothes. This is not how I had envisioned this situation. I think I need a little more finesse in my life.

The A.D.D GoaT.E.E.
So as most of my friends know I had a MONSTROUS GOATEE for the last year. Some might describe it as awesome, some nasty, maybe even rat-nasty.
Well we turned it into a fundraiser to cover some of the cost for our summer youth conference. We raised $4,500 for me to chop it off, a sad day yet glorious at the same time. I let one our teens cut it off on stage in front of the whole youth group about 400 peeps. I felt like Sampson (Judges 16:19) my knees buckled. For some crazy reason I decided that I would put the goatee hairs in the front pocket of my dress shirt for storage, you know make a collage with them or mend them into a blanket or the like. Apparently one of the handicaps of A.D.D is forget fullness, I think, I can't really remember. Anyway so the rest of the youth night goes on and I go on my merry way. I get home and am trying to think of something to do with all these chinless goatee hairs, maybe frame them, although I still had not taken them out of the front pocket of my dress shirt, well either way evening came and morning followed (Genesis 1:8).
The events of Tuesday February 12th are as follows:
I went to work.
I came home from work.
I made dinner.
We ate dinner.
We put the kids down for bed.
My wife & I played darts in the garage.
The dryer had finished its duties, the washer & dryer are in the garage
My wife opened the dryer to fold the clothes.
I have heard of a cat hair ball, but I have never heard of a "dryer goatee hair ball," maybe you never have either. Well apparently my dryer coughed up a goatee hair ball, not only that but there were goatee hairs stuck to all the clothing, ironically except my dress shirt, who would have thunk it. I guess someone forgot to tell my wife that someone had put all their goatee hairs in the front pocket of their dress shirt. My mother said, regarding laundry, make sure you always check all the pockets first. I guess someone forgot. At first I thought what a wonderful gift, the goatee has done it again, but than I had to pull every piece of hair off of every piece of clothing, that's a chore. I think we all know the lesson that was learned here, "always make sure you check all the pockets first"
Needless to say A.D.D. struck again!

ADD story #1
So our youth program is having one of the greatest events ever, a CRAWFISH BOIL!!! For this crawfish boil I need to pick up a couple of items and so I set out to the local outdoor/sporting good store. One might think you would need a shopping list in order to know what to pick up and in what quantity. Well when you are A.D.D. sometimes you forget such detail but luckily our secretary made one for me.
So I park the car, grab a cart and walk to the back of the store and find the 80 quart pots and the 105,000 btu burners.
Dilemma #1
Unfortunately I did not bring the flatbed cart, I chose a traditional cart which can only holds 1 of these boxes inside the cart. So I did what any sensible person would do, I stacked.

Dilemma #2
I left the shopping list on the passenger seat of my car I couldn't remember the quantity I needed. Sooooo, I left my fully loaded cart in the aisle and walked back to get it. After loading the appropriate quantities of each item I then headed toward the checkout.
Dilemma #3
I have now purchased these and am walking outside to my car when I remember that my trunk is full of pink flamingos(this is normal right?) and I have a car seat and I drive a Ford Taurus, otherwise known as to For-Taur. Needless to say, this is a dilemma. Luckily I and the ForTaur "can do all things in Christ who strengthens us"Phil 4:13.
Dilemma #4
Well I got the doors shut but unfortunately there was not much room for the driver. Well I scrunched my little body in that drivers seat and made my way back. This is me driving while holding my phone out the window to take the picture.
Cozy, right?
Well I made it the church safe and sound. This was not a frustrating event but rather a quite entertaining event in my day and sadly there will be more to come like this.
The pursuit of Love
This is my attempt to express my thought and experiences of a Catholic man trying to live out his faith while living with Attention Deficit Disorder. This blog serves to express my love for Christ and his Church as well as some of the random experiences of my life.
