If you missed part 1, read it here.
Ty’s first day of kindergarten was filled with highs and lows (the lows can all be attributed to Fefe). There was excitement as well as sadness and a little bit of anger mixed in too. Most kindergarten first days run pretty smoothly, ours resulted in us getting kicked out of the school. Read on to hear all about it.
A Quarter Can Change The World
Allow me to take you back, back in time to a place when things were much much simpler. Close your eyes for a moment and imagine…wait a minute, if you close your eyes, how can you read this post? Okay scratch that, keep your eyes open and imagine your oh so wonderful childhood, when you had not a care in the world. Ah the good ole days right, a bag of chips cost 25 cents, summer actually meant 2 entire months of freedom. Yeah, life was a lot easier back then and as much as we’d like to stay young forever, it’s not very feasible. However, when there are kids around, you can be forever young, reliving your special memories through them. That’s what happened to me the other day, Tre made a comment that showed my exactly how simplistic his world view is and it’s been the highlight of my week, possibly the whole month.
Wow, so today is August 6, 2010 and that means that it has been one complete year since my first post here at Daddy’s Fish Bowl. Now normally I would make a huge deal out of this, pop champagne, and break out the noise makers. You guys would send all types of lavish gifts to congratulate me on my 1 year blogversary and we would all party like it’s 1999 (wait, is that saying still relevant?) Well hold on to all of your presents because I’m not making a big stink about it due to the fact that I took a 6 month hiatus. It doesn’t really seem proper to celebrate an anniversary if you’ve only been together half of the year. So today is just another regular day in the blogosphere for me. Maybe next year we can have a party.
Don’t get all down and out just yet however, because today is special for a much greater reason. Today is Fefe’s birthday, so that’s more than reason enough to party and celebrate!!! So with that said, I’m going to step away from the computer and go enjoy some quality time with my wife for her birthday. As a parting gift, I leave you with an original poem that I wrote and “performed” for her, which describes how truly special she is.
I Love You Babe, Happy Birthday!!!!
So you know how the old saying goes: “what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas”. Well, you guys know me, I don’t abide by those rules, my life is an open book for you, the reader, and Vegas is no exception. So I’m getting ready to give you all the nitty gritty, down & dirty details of my recent Vegas trip! And I do mean everything. Prostitutes, check! Vegas scams, check! Staying up until the wee hours of the night, check!!! This trip was one to be remembered, unfortunately not for the typical reasons that you may think.
Good morning everyone, hope you all had a great night’s sleep and are feeling well rested this morning! Yeah, well if you did, then at least someone was able to obtain a peaceful night’s sleep, because I surely wasn’t able to! Guess what, it wasn’t because of our resident terrorist either. Tre wasn’t the culprit this time, it was Fefe, as often times it is! Read on as I take you through a tale of deceit, horror, and brutality! Well actually, I’m just going to talk about how Fefe acts out her dreams in the middle of the night. Nonetheless, it should still be pretty entertaining.
The clip you are about to hear was recorded at 2:15am a few weeks ago, it is 2:13 in length and the second clip was recorded at 2:18am. Although the clip implies that I was causing harm to Fefe, I can assure you that I was merely laying in the bed holding my phone.

Fefe's First Harvest
Should of got me an iPad for Father's Day
So yesterday was Father’s Day huh? The one day of the year were Dads around the world are given unanimous appreciation for their efforts as father’s. For me, Father’s Day is always a great and special day (because I love getting gifts, lol). However, this Father’s Day ended in pain and suffering and with me being all alone. That description sounds somewhat similar to the type of information that I was receiving from my Twitter timeline and Facebook feed, It appears that Father’s Day isn’t a great holiday for everyone, I witnessed a lot of male bashing, which is probably well deserved, but it definitely showed me The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly of Father’s Day. Since, my day started off great, but didn’t end in the same fashion, it seems like that good, bad, and ugly trend that I noticed on social media in reference to Father’s Day isn’t only restricted to bad Dads.
No, this post isn’t going to be about some newly discovered venereal disease that I contracted during a recent trip to Tijuana. I haven’t been to Tijuana in years, so that would be old news (I kid). Instead, this post is about turning even the smallest event into an educational opportunity that can be used to teach kids something new and exciting. These chances pop up every so often and if you’re not careful you can definitely miss them. So keep your creativity hats on at all times; because to the untrained eye, bodily fluids may not seem like the best tool to use for teaching a pre-schooler, but by putting a little spin on it, they can learn something new and have fun doing it.
This is gonna be a tough one to write; not so much because of myself, but more so for Fefe. But she felt it was necessary, as did I, that we spread the word and express some valuable information regarding the IUD & pregnancy, that we’ve come across by being put in a not so ideal situation. In short, for those of you that found this post specifically for that information: yes, you can become pregnant with an IUD inserted AND yes, it can produce false negative results for your pregnancy test!!! Now if you’d like to learn more read on, if not, I hope the information serves you well. For my regular readers, don’t fret, there is a good story to be told here and although it is a difficult subject, I tried to make it somewhat entertaining. So here we go.
Fefe’s body and contraceptives have had a long going feud for the past few years. Maybe I shouldn’t say feud, maybe I should just say “misunderstanding”. It’s like they can play nice together for a year or two and then they get into an argument or something and all hell breaks loose, with the outcome being a brand new unplanned bundle of joy. In the past, this massive “misunderstanding” between Fefe’s body and the contraceptives has happened not once (Ty), but twice (Tre). Each time while using a different method that was supposedly 99.9999999% effective. Okay, maybe not that many 9’s but still, you get the point. How could something that is supposed to be so good at its job screw up two times in a row? I thought lightning didn’t strike twice. Well apparently it can strike twice, and can also strike a third time as well!
Fefe & I have 3 anniversaries: our wedding day, the day of the proposal, and the day we met. Why we have 3 is beyond me, but I guess that’s the price you pay being married to a beautiful woman. Once we got married, she told me that I didn’t have to remember the proposal anniversary anymore if I didn’t want to. But that just sounds like entrapment to me, you know, I forget and then land myself in the dog house for the next week. So today, October 12, 2009 we celebrate the 2 year anniversary of the day that ruined (I joke) enhanced my life forever. In the spirit of celebration, I present to you my first unofficial blog post ever! It was taken from my Facebook notes and describes how I orchestrated the proposal. Enjoy!
