Music Request: 04-18-22

Today, you asked me to compile some bands, songs and albums that I listen to currently, and over the years, so that you can make some playlists. I’m going to use this page so that I don’t have to send you 73 links, and so you can pull it all up at any time you want, and also, i can add to it later, when I have time. <3

So… here we go…

Happy Saturday Thea!

Kinda disappointed you missed school for the second time this week for something that had nothing to do with you, but, it’s not your fault, so I’m not upset with you, obviously. I just don’t want you to miss things at school, because of someone else. :) I hope that you had a ton of fun visiting Belle yesterday! I din’t know y’all were going, so I hope it was a ton of fun, and that you had plenty of time to hang out with her.

I still haven’t heard anything back from Aunt Dani, so, I’m guessing that CA is a no-go. We’ll need to all talk together, and decide whether we want to skip a trip, or find somewhere else to go instead. Unfortunately, I think that if we still took a road trip somewhere, we’d kinda be forcing it, and just going somewhere to go, and wouldn’t really have a good destination. I’m still open for discussion about it, tho. I’m not really pumped on celebrating Thanksgiving, and haven’t been for a long time. Maybe we change our family tradition to celebrate something else, in it’s place. Come up with a new title, cook a different type of food, etc. I won’t force that, but, we can at least talk about it. :)

I hope that you have something planned for your Saturday, and don’t spend the whole day sleeping and playing on your phone. I’m going to try to get out to IKEA today, to replace the lamps. While I’m there, I’m going to look at chairs, and see if we can replace the living room recliner, or, if it’d just be better to keep the empty space for now?

Lastly, I want to talk about an idea I had, about separating our time here, when you’re all home. Instead of trying to force family time, and having it turn into endlessly searching for a good movie to watch, or wasting time waiting for everyone to end up in the same room together, we can talk about some other ideas. With a seven day week, we could each spend two days together, then have one family night, or, something similar. Something we can discuss, at least.

Love,

-Dad

Happy Friday, Thea!

I’m so glad I got to see you yesterday for the Thanksgiving Feast at your school! It made me really sad when you didn’t see me, and I watched you walk over to a table to sit down all by yourself. The food wasn’t great, lol, but, I would have rather eaten that, and gotten to have lunch with you, then go anywhere else, and eat alone. :)

I hope that you had a good day after school yesterday. I heard that the power was off for awhile, so, I hope that wasn’t too frustrating. Iknow that you probably haven’t been doing your reading, but, hopefully you at least finished, and turned in your homework packet? If not, we can make sure to work through it and catch you up coming up this week.

I hope that you have an awesome day! I miss you a ton, and love you so, so much!

Love,

-Dad

Morning, Thea!

I hope that you’re doing okay, and that your week is going well. It’s something that we’ll have to chat more about in person, but, I know that you weren’t sick yesterday, and I’m upset that mom is putting you in the positions that she is, and expecting you to lie to me. The difference is that if you missed school because you didn’t get enough sleep, because a dog peed on your pillow, that’s not your fault, and I wouldn’t be upset that you missed school. I’m not upset that you missed school. I’m disappointed that you lied to me though, and hate the idea that you think you need to. I wish that you wouldn’t have missed your therapy appointment, because they’re important, but, like I said, I understand. I’m sorry that you’re not getting enough sleep at mom’s. I wish things were different, and I wish that she wouldn’t put you in the middle of things like this, and expect you to lie to me, or, make you responsible for asking me to pick Charlie up. Anyway, we can chat more about it when you come home, but I do need you to understand that I’m not angry or upset with you, just sad and disappointed about the situations you’re being put in.

Today is the Thanksgiving feast! I should be there by about 10:30, so we can have lunch together, I’m so excited! I don’t even know if you remembered it! Also, volleyball today!

And, like I said yesterday, I need you to start thinking seriously about Christmas presents, so I can get an e-mail back to Santa in time for him to plan whatever it is that he’s going to do. ;)

I didn’t sleep well last night, so, I’m going to try to sleep another hour before the feats. I can’t wait to see you then! I love and miss you so, so, so much!

Love,

-Dad

Happy Wednesday, Thea!

It feels like forever since I’ve seen or talked to you, I miss you so much! I’m writing this post a little later in the morning, as I found out that you didn’t go to school today, and I figure you wouldn’t likely be reading it on the way to school, since you didn’t go today. Mom texted me that you weren’t feeling very well, and I really hope that it’s nothing too serious. If we’re looking historically, out of all of us, you and I are the ones that tend to get sick the least often. I don’t remember the last time I had a cold, or the flu, and, can only remember you having a cold once or twice over the last five or six years. That said, I hope you’re feeling okay. :)

Sorry that I didn’t get a post up yesterday. I really love writing to y’all, but, finding the right photos, a perfect song of the day, and writing the posts can take a while. That’s not to say that I don’t love doing it… just that it can be time consuming, so, some days I have to hold it off in favor of more pressing matters. ;)

So, one thing that we’re really going to need to talk about, is Christmas. I got an e-mail from Santa, and he’s very worried about what to bring you. He said that he’d heard about our talks about toys, and how you love them at first, but don’t play with them for very long. He said that he wants to bring you something that you’d really be happy with, and, with you already now having a bike, and a hoverbaord, he’s not sure what he can bring you, that you’ll appreciate, have an interest in, and use for more than a few days. Sooo, what I really need from you, is to think hard about some things that you’d genuinely want for Christmas. Now that mom bought Charlie Alexi, without really consulting any of us, and eventually he’ll end up coming here, whether I like it or not, I think any type of pet is probably out. We can discuss it, though.

Anyway, I really, really hope that you’re feeling okay/better, and please get in touch today, if you need anything.

I love you bunches, and bunches, and bunches, and bunches,

-Dad

Good Morning, Thea!

I hope that you had an awesome night last night, and that you got a chance to play with Alexi a bit. I’m sorry about you feeling like nobody else cared about your birthday. Mom told me over a week ago that she ordered your hoverboard, so, I’m not sure what happened. Hopefully, your birthday dinner and sleepover that we did here, and your new bike remind you that your birthday is very important, and that you are very, very loved. If your hoverboard doesn’t end up happening for some reason, we can talk about maybe getting one here, for Christmas. :) Also, Phoebe, Charlie and I had discussed the possibility of maybe going to California for Thanksgiving/Charlie’s birthday.

I’ll talk to Uncle Derek and Aunt Dani today, if I can get ahold of them, and explore the possibilities of going to CA for Thanksgiving. If we can somehow make it happen, it’s going to end up a bit of a whirlwind trip, and it’ll feel like it’s happening really, really fast, so we’ll have to plan it out really carefully. We’d have to talk to Christy, and see if we wanted to stop there on the way down, or the way back, and make a list of all the people in CA we wanted to stop and see. We could even stop for coffee to see Jen and Troy, if y’all wanted to.

We’ll also need to start getting a plan together for Christmas, by looking at dates, and seeing what fits where. You all seem to have quite a few days off for the holidays, and I think I’ll have you for New Year’s, so, we’ll need to plan that, too. We need to discuss gifts, as well, as Christmas might be a little light this year on some fronts. Since y’all won’t actually be here Christmas morning, we’ll need to discuss whether or not to get a real tree, or use the fake tree one last year.

I really, really miss you, and love you so, so much!

Love,

-Dad
