Tracing back a link from my Site Meter, I see the old blog is listed on a web log award page. I'm not sure how that happened, but allow me to address the handful of you who just showed up thinking you were going to get some enlightened or entertaining reading on anything parental:

Ahem. Hello there. I'm not sure I qualify for a Parenting Blog nomination. I only write about my kids some of the time. To the chagrin of my other six readers, the rest of the time I write about soccer, my dog, or life on the farm. And I post an occasional picture that makes my mother groan.

My family is the most important thing in my life. When I don't have a party to attend. See below. I have a seven-year-old son who is an angel and a three-year-old who could make Machiavelli blush. If Machiavelli weren't dead. Kind of a shame, really. Because once he got done telling future tyrants how to gain the throne, he would have turned his attention to CEO's, Cub Scout leaders, school teachers, and parents. I'm not a fan of self-help books, but that's one that would make my Christmas wish list.

I'd love to give you a small sample of my writing in regards to my kids, but they haven't done anything worth writing about in the past couple of days. Unless you count The Governor (that would be the little despot in the family), who has recently taken up the habit of starting his sentences, "I, the Gov..."

I, the Gov, would like to have breakfast now.

I, the Gov, need to watch a cartoon.

Nope. Not kidding. At least it's better than the phase when he referred to himself in the third person.

Sorry. To help make amends...I refer you to a couple of MY favorite parenting blogs. Enjoy.
