Painting Fingernails

Sunday night, I was watching television, my wife was doing payroll for a volunteer job she helps with, or should I say puts more time in then her regular job, and my daughter was painting her toenails.
 
I had already completed the choirs for the weekend and was relaxing before settling in for the night. My wife had been stressing about the payroll all day and was working pretty hard still as bedtime was approaching. So when my daughter asked if she could help paint her nails she told her she would have to wait.
 
Well patiences is not something done well in my household so after about ten minutes of waiting she asked again and the comment was made...
 
"Why dont you ask daddy to help you,"
 
I raised my eyebrow and glanced up from the book I was now reading and give a quick laugh, "Ha. Like you would really want me to to do that."
 
My beautiful daughter looked over at me with her bright blue eyes and said, "please daddy." To which I could not resist.
 
There I was a few minutes later with the brush in my hand painting her nails. Of course I started in on, "so are there any boys that you like in class?" I already knew the answer but isn't gossiping something that you have to do while painting someone's nails. I did manage to
 
She wanted red on three nails and green on the other two on her one hand then add poka dots with the opposite color.
 
When I was all done she proudly held up her hand and showed it to mommy and said, "look what a great job daddy did."

    You're a good father. This is one of those memories you're going to hold on to and cherish, especially when she's a teenager. ;)

  2. LOL - With 2 boys their is no toe painting here. Wait until she asks you if she paint YOUR toenails. The answer is of course YES and then we would all need to see a picture!!

  4. I have two boys and am a little disappointed I won't get to do the girly stuff. However, I am my wife's official toe nail painter if that counts.

A Cry Out For Help.

The room was completely silent aside from her breathing. I was awake slightly trying to get back to sleep. Apparently something woke me up at this hour, because I was extremely tired from the weekend. Her breathing seemed odd, almost labored, and I could hear a moan every now and again. Despite her sleeping habits, talking, moaning, breathing heavy, this seemed different. I reached over and touched her shoulder, wondering if it was just me or should I try to wake her. When I heard another moan I gave her a quick shake to see if everything was ok. She stirred slightly but did not waken completely. I shook her again, and again she did not respond very well. At this point I knew something was wrong and I got up and turned on the light. I called her name slightly louder at this point and got back on the bed to shake her awake. She opened her eyes and looked up at me and looking at her eyes I could see the emptiness. Fearing the worst, that she decided to finish off her medications

Raining (HNT)

The rain has been falling for the last few days here. We needed it so I am not complaining. It has made the weekend plans a little harder but I think we will find something fun to do. I am still working on getting used to the camera and lack of flash, so the picture seems a little grainy but I thought it went well with the dark rainy weather we are having. Happy HNT! As always check out Osbasso for who else is playing!

Slumber (HNT)
