All posts by Izzy1975. Single Chicano dad of an amazing 10 year old. I write because if I don't, my day seems less than what it could of been. So I write my rants, stories, ideas or whatever, down. It keeps me sane. My daughter is gay. January 14, 2017. My daughter is gay. She’s only 11 years old and she already knows more about herself and her sexually than her 41 year old father. She wears it proudly, doesn’t hide it and is very confident about who she is. And again, she’s 11. One complaint I heard was...

The Batting Cage. | andishambledafterthem
https://andishambledafterthem.wordpress.com/2016/04/11/the-batting-cage
April 11, 2016. So I had an experience. A few weekends ago I was meeting my daughter and her mom at the batting cage. With some miscommunication, I waited at the wrong location for over 20 minutes . As I sat in my car, annoyingly awaiting for them to arrive, I saw a family walk towards their cars, out of the batting cage. A woman pushing a stroller- I presumed mom. A younger boy- about 7. A preteen girl with a grown man walking next to her – I presumed dad. Mom starts her car. Dad starts his car. Dad tel...

Oh well. | andishambledafterthem

January 4, 2016. A few days ago I met a woman on one of those ‘quick judge’ dating sites. You know, you either swipe right to like, or left to not. Well, we both swiped right. We messaged back and forth for a few days before exchanging numbers. Then the text messages started. We were doing 30 to 50 messages a day. Honestly, I was intrigued. She was sarcastic, educated, employed (wish sadly isn’t the norm on those sites), and very attractive. Ok, I can take a hint. No more interest, got it. You are commen...

Holiday Madness. | andishambledafterthem
https://andishambledafterthem.wordpress.com/2016/12/12/holiday-madness
December 12, 2016. It’s December 11 and I’m dreading the thought of New Years Eve. What is it about the holidays that makes a single person feel like unless your in a committed relationship, your not spending the holiday the way it was intended to be spent? I know the sickness is coming, as it does to all single people during the holidays. It’s enough to cause us all to go a little mental, to over eat just a bit, to drink a little extra. The first level is the Desperate stage. It’s when you assume ...

Hardest Lesson. | andishambledafterthem
https://andishambledafterthem.wordpress.com/2016/07/11/hardest-lesson
July 11, 2016. I’ve learned a lot of things being a single parent. No matter how prepared you want to be leaving your home with a newborn/ toddler/youngster, you will never have everything you need. Its OK to let the dishes sit till tomorrow. Just not till next week. When it comes to bills, there’s 3 levels of payment options. Do not shop for groceries you wouldn’t be OK eating past the due date. The floor will never be clean enough. Always buy twice as much laundry detergent. Leave a Reply Cancel reply.

How the Grinch (consumerism) almost stole Xmas. | andishambledafterthem
https://andishambledafterthem.wordpress.com/2015/12/13/how-the-grinch-comsumerism-almost-stole-xmas
How the Grinch (consumerism) almost stole Xmas. December 13, 2015. Even thought its been a hard few months (and I totally get that I brought this on myself). I made the decision to avoid a low end position for what I really wanted. I get that, I accept that. I’m not mad at anyone, especially myself. Its about love. Plain and simple. Its about feeling the love that we all feel grow and grow during this holiday season. So I’ll count my blessings and count my pennies. Life’s good this season.
