At first when he grabbed the frat paddle I told him that a paddle wouldn't faze me. One or two swats later though I was changing that tune real quick. A full force swat with a wooden paddle does tend to hurt just a bit lol. But it made our session alot quicker then I had thought it would be.
This weekend we will be short a child as our oldest son is spending the weekend at his mentors house. My son is happy to claim two "DADS" now. (Thomas and his mentor) He still has some heart wrenching moments of sadness over his real dad. So technically he could claim three but his real dad pretty much cut him off about 5 years ago. He never returns any calls or letters. Which is pretty nasty if you ask me. Regardless of anything that happens between two parents none should ever stop all contact with a child if the child wants it. That is just wrong. I think that hurts them more then never knowing there father would. But such is life and I can't make him call or talk to his son. So I just try to make my son feel better letting him know that he is loved by many and that his father is the one that is missing out on a very wonderful thing. Some days are harder then others for him. I shouldn't let him even try but I always hope that one day he will come through and not disappoint the boy. I really don't know what else to do other then be there for him when he is let down again.
With that we will be having more time to make some more videos. Hopefully with the help of a little arnica we can be ready for some more video making by the time we are left with the one youngest who goes to bed pretty early. Leaving us plenty of playtime.
Anyway not a whole lot else going on. Thomas was contacted by another implement maker that wanted him to review a paddle or two of theirs. So we might soon be doing another promotional video. We almost had our air fixed tonight but ran into another problem. Now instead of just being out of the coolant the outside unit isn't running the fan. That really blows though since we really would have loved to have AC right about now. In the last videos we did we had to have fans running. The heat is pretty bad lately. In fact the thermometer on the AC unit reads over 95 the highest it can go I believe. So I know it is hotter in here then that. Well I'm heading to bed. Hopefully we will have more and more videos to share soon. We would like to soon get some better quality cameras for taping. But things are pretty tight right now. But as always they are fun to make and the playtime during is even more fun.
