So - here is a more recent picture - it was taken last October - in 2007. The funny picture of my kids in my previous post entitled My Teachers was taken many years ago when Max was like 10 and Miriam was 6.5. Now they are 17 and 12.5 !
I can hardly believe it.
The title is all about what has happened to my kids and I since I last posted
- OVER TWO YEARS AGO!!
Ha! Name a blog with daily in the title and that's what you get.
Back to my kids. My kids have turned into these beasts who can hardly stand me anymore. Well, except when they want something from me. Like money; or my time; or a ride somewhere. All other times I am nothing more than a bothersome old dude that gives them crap over the slightest thing and is a hard-ass taskmaster determined to make their lives miserable. That is so hysterical because they are spoiled rotten suburban punks that wouldn't know a bit of work or chores if it bit them on the face. I hope they read this, the ungrateful pills.
Lesson learned today - get over it.

new year - same teachers
So - I created this blog and then never posted a darn thing. 2006 has arrived....and so has this blog, finally.
Here is one things that my teachers taught me just last night, New Years Eve 2006:
A reminder that maybe I have actually taught them a lot just by the way I act in social situations.
Examples -
my daughter Miriam, 10, is like I am and always have been - easy to make friends, always looking to have a good time, very outgoing. So last night, at a party at her friend and classmate's house where she knew noone but her friend, she made friends with everyone she could in the shortest amount of time possible. I pretend that I have influenced her to be that way by my actions all throughout her life. I am probably dreaming - she was born hard-wired that way I think.
My son Max, 14.5, is a different story. He has up until the last year been pretty much the quieter , slow to make friends type. Although not unfriendly by any means, he just usually does not walk into a room and decide that he is going to light it up as his sister or Dad does. So lately, and most especially last night, I noticed or realized or both, he is much more comfortable with walking into a situation where there are many unknowns and just casually becoming a part of whatever scene is happening - and making friends. I Differently than me or his sister though. I usually am like an interviewer - "Hey good to meet you Joe, where you from? Where'd you go to school? yada yada yada" Max, on the other hand, spent the entire time playing cards with a few boys all night last night and did not know a single one of their names many hours later. Nor did it matter to him if he did or not. Really funny to me.
Anyway, my point is that with all that my kids have going on in their precious psyches in regards to the tough sitch their Mom is dealing with in her personal life - the stable environment I have provided over the last 12 months and the way they constantly observe me reaching out to others and very openly dealing with new people, new situations, I believe has influenced their behavior and I am glad.
Or maybe it hasn't and I am just dreaming. Hahahahahahahahahah
