Dad Diary: Save Me from My Son

I was going to title this Blog post “Child Abuse” and then cleverly explain that my child is kicking my butt, but that seemed horrible. But truly, my son is kicking my butt. Humbling me. Yet, motivating me. Do you remember my Project 44?… Continue Reading “Dad Diary: Save Me from My Son”
