Wow! 2011 is upon us! Already a week in! I’m hoping the new year brings us single dads more peace. Peace of mind spiritually, socially, and financially.
A new year means new things. All around. I celebrated new year’s eve with my son. The only way I would have it. I hope all of the single dad’s out there are having a great year so far. For me this year means cutting things back and getting stuff paid off. I have some short term goals and have ways to make those goals. Goals are good, they give me something to look forward to. How about you other single dads out there. Have any goals for 2011? I’d like to hear them! Please post your goals and maybe we can help keep each other in check with our goals!
My goal is to eat better. I’ve started the year off on the Daniel Fast. It’s coming along. I’m veggie and fruit boy right now, but it’s ok. I miss dairy the most. It’s a three week fast. I’m a week into it. Wish me luck! And I hope to keep eating healthy after the fast.
I didn’t realize all of the small household items I would need when I got my own place. It’s alot of smaller things. Items such as:
- Fly swatter
- Storage bowls
- Lamp(s)
- Garbage can(s)/bags
- Cleaning supplies (dust spray, window cleaner, toilet bowl cleaner, I’m probably missing more here)
- Vacuum
- Kitchen towels & washcloths
- Bedroom towels
- Fire extinguisher
- Fabric detergent and softener.
- Plunger
Get a new bed and mattress? Going to need a set of fitted sheets, sheets, pillow cover, and bed spread. More bedroom: alarm clock, and maybe a weather radio.
Fly swatter and Spic-n-Span
Well it’s been tough going through the holidays this year. My first one alone. I was busy though. I had to do all of the Christmas shopping and wrapping. Kept the tradition up and bought a live tree. I’m not going to lie there were some down times during this holiday season but I made my way through it. I kept going to church and tried to keep life as normal as possible. How are you other single dads out there doing this Christmas? I really would like to hear from others about how they’re doing. Please feel free to leave a comment below or feel free to use my handy dandy contact form and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can. Forge on single dads!

I’m proud to say I’m rocking the mo for Movember, 2010. I’m growing a bad ass stache. Well, I’m growing one. Hopefully it’s deemed bad ass. More info about Movember can be found on their web site. Movember is dedicated to raise awareness of prostate and testicular cancer. Testicular cancer is the most common cancer for men ages 18 to 35. I’m a mo bro. You can check out my mo bro page here.
Did you know: In 2010 tragically more than 32,000 men will die as a direct result of prostate cancer. [click to continue…]
