TommyLog Dad, Ready To Answer The Call

Over the weekend I had one of those “Dad Moments” you see in the movies, but never happens to you. Well it was late on Saturday evening and i received a text from my daughter Madeline.

“Dad are you there?”

“YES I replied”

“I need you to come and get me”

And without hesitation the answer was a resounding yes and I flew out of the house to come whisk her away from her troubles. The wheres and why are not important to this story. The fact that she called me is what’s a big deal here. She knew she could count on me and I didn’t disappoint. As a father you always want to be there for your kids regardless of time or date.. and this was one of those amazing moments I’m sure glad i was there for her!

TommyLog – For The Love of Noah – First Touchdown!

My 3 oldest have all attended Little Chute schools and Noah has been a HUGE part in sporting and music events there. Noah has been the Water boy for the football team for the last 3 years. For their final game, his fellow teamamtes asked Noah to suit up and helped him score a touchdown. The story has gone national, and on Sport Illustrated too!

If this doesn’t speak volumes about the quality of students exported from Little Chute, nothing does. BRAVO LCHS, GO NOAH!!!!

TommyLog – The Home Life vs Work Balance

This week I had a very thought provoking chat with my friend Lisa @lisaredshoespr and Melissa regarding home life / work balance. In this day and age, is there really a life work balance? You have so many distractions, cell, web, TV, social media. is there balance anymore? Is your work just a 9 to 5 job? Can you just turn off work?

TommyLog – Coming in Last

I attended Tommy’s cross country track meet last Thursday. Something was just not right. He was in dead last place for the entire race. He wasn’t feeling well, but yet he completed the race. What an inspiration to me and all the kids on his team. Giving it to the end regardless of how he felt. Sure he came in last place, but he finished 1st place in my book.

GREAT JOB Tommy!!
