He passed away late saturday evening .
Im not going anywhere, but have come to some realizations. I turned 38 sunday, so I was at my folks house with my old lady, my little girl and my bro & sis n law and niece/nephew on saturday. Good times. My parents live out in the boonies and dont have cable, so I caught a bit of the Bama/Tenn. A bonfire/weiney roast was suggested. My brother then says he probably wouldnt see me out there cuz the Ohio St/Wisc game was on ABC. I got kind of upset....not at him, but at myself. He was right. I wanted to watch the game. Miss family time for a game I told my dad "wouldnt probably wind up in OT anyway"....before the game started. I went outside for a bit and did some thinking. Flipped a switch almost instantly.
I havent done great this year (95-103 YTD). Didnt take me long to figure things out. I have a 3 year old. I spend a lot of time with her. The reason I post in the evenings is because I work evening shift. She doesnt nap as much anymore. Saturdays have gone from me watching football from 11am -midnite or beyond to maybe squeezing in a bit of some early games and possibly a little primetime action. My eye test is gone.
Got baby #2 on the way, so my football watching will become even less as time progresses. Thats fine. I wouldnt trade my kid for anything in this world. Being a good dad is hard enough, but being on my phone checking scores all day is b.s. Its not fair to everyone around me. Ive done it for years. At the movies and out to eat....even in church. Addiction is a biotch. Luckily, I am stronger than that which has me addicted.
Doesnt mean I am not gonna gamble or talk football, I just dont have the time to ake it seriously anymore. Just cutting way back/down. Withdrew a decent chunk from my books on monday morning. I felt better all day sunday and monday....I didnt even check out betonline for its openers....
Dont worry about the "haters" running me off....
