I've hit the snooze button three times already. My alarm is going off again. I shift myself over to the side of the bed and give the clock a whack. The alarm stops. I pick up the clock and look at it. It's 8:58. John's leaving at 9, so I figure I should find him and say goodbye. I heft myself upwards and sit on the side of the bed. Getting up is kind of di...

My wife Tabi and I decided before we were married than we didn't want to have children. We used birth control for a couple years. The pill caused a few problems. She would sometimes get sickness and through up the pill, so she thought it would be better if we did something a little more reliable.

I would take my daughter to this playground on the weekend and let her run around and play with the other kids in the neighborhood. Naturally, there were always plenty of other parents and kids there too, so I fit right in. I was always the "cool dad" since it was mostly moms and nannies there.

Tammy leaned up in bed, concern on her face, as she made to kick the sheets off and go help her husband. Jason, ears like a hawk despite currently revisiting last n...
DISCLAIMER: No, this story is not real. Hell, it might not even sound realistic. The people are real (although the names have been changed), but that's about it.

Is this story true or not, you tell me After Jan’s death life just didn’t seem the same. The kids came home for the funeral and Sue and Guy stayed over longer, to be with their father. I remember the great times we all had together when the kids where home and really missed them. They were both young adults at this point, Sue being 24, Guy 23. Nick and I...
I was in Walmart shopping for my kids for school. Trying to get them ready for that first day. I was lucky they were home with their father and I had time to myself. The day was hot like no other and when you are seven months pregnant that makes it twice as hot. I was pregnant with our third kid in four years. Yeah that is a lot but my husband doesn't like s...
