These children can be helped to not feel so a...

Inside Bill's Head: April 2011
http://billapplegate.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Previously Known as (Inside the Head of a Grieving Single Dad). Friday, April 15, 2011. Okay…I get it….or at least I think I do. I can see the confusion with letters RSVP. I think I get why many don’t reply back when asked to…it’s because many people genuinely don’t know what RSVP means. Verb (used without object). 1 to reply to an invitation: Don't forget to RSVP before Thursday. 2 a reply to an invitation: He sent a lovely bouquet of flowers with his RSVP. Believe me I have been guilty of forgetting to...

Inside Bill's Head: Yelling
http://billapplegate.blogspot.com/2011/06/yelling.html
Previously Known as (Inside the Head of a Grieving Single Dad). Thursday, June 30, 2011. No not the Disney movie about the dog…this is more about me and my attempt to not yell. First and foremost…I am a yeller…Sometimes this is a good thing and sometimes this is a bad thing. I have really, really tried to tone down and stop yelling and over the last few years I have seriously reduced what I yell about and when I decide to raise me voice. My kids seemed to have this weird hearing issue / condition. When I...

Inside Bill's Head: October 2010
http://billapplegate.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Previously Known as (Inside the Head of a Grieving Single Dad). Monday, October 18, 2010. Why I hate the last week of October. I love the Fall season. I do, the leaves change color, the temperature is perfect for wearing sweatshirts the air just feels fresh and crisp, the Fall is an awesome season. All except for the last week of October…I do not like the last week of October…. October 29, 2007. October 31, 2008. We didn’t get home until 4:00pm after a long couple of days. The phone rang at 4:4...Trick o...

Inside Bill's Head: Random Post
http://billapplegate.blogspot.com/2011/12/random-post.html
Previously Known as (Inside the Head of a Grieving Single Dad). Tuesday, December 13, 2011. So I don’t really have a topic…just some random conversation topics that have taken place in the household over the last few weeks. In no particular order…. While cleaning up downstairs in the game room I came across a one of the kids notebooks. I flipped through it to see if it was all filled or still had some blank pages left to write on. Bottom line is the girls are asking questions about male and female body p...

Inside Bill's Head: Summer Time
http://billapplegate.blogspot.com/2011/06/summer-time.html
Previously Known as (Inside the Head of a Grieving Single Dad). Tuesday, June 21, 2011. I don’t know why but lately I have been thinking / reminiscing about my childhood. If I had to guess I would think it has to due with my upcoming birthday and the summer season. Just curious what others recall about summer…here are my thoughts…. Green…the grass, trees, plants, flowers and vegetables etc. Lights (from neon signs to billboards) they just seem more vibrant in the summer. The hum of the air conditioner.

Inside Bill's Head: The Move, Merger and the Mayhem
http://billapplegate.blogspot.com/2011/09/move-merger-and-mayhem.html
Previously Known as (Inside the Head of a Grieving Single Dad). Tuesday, September 27, 2011. The Move, Merger and the Mayhem. Well we have moved into the new house…and what an experience it was and continues to be. We bought the house in the beginning of May and decided to redo the kitchen. That turned into redoing the family room, powder room and the game room. To make a long story short…I hired a contractor who had done excellent work for us in the past. No work was getting done on the new house. What ...

http://billapplegate.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Previously Known as (Inside the Head of a Grieving Single Dad). Tuesday, January 25, 2011. Well we are almost a full month into 2011 and I have yet to write an entry and boy have I heard about it…which I guess is a good thing. The fact that people want to know what is going on with me and the girls is very flattering and the interest and concern people express by sending me emails is very…well cool. Okay, here it goes…2011…and honestly I have a ton of stuff to write about. This will be hard for many to u...

Inside Bill's Head: February 2011
http://billapplegate.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Previously Known as (Inside the Head of a Grieving Single Dad). Wednesday, February 16, 2011. It’s Always Something. Chaos in the Morning. Getting two little girls up, dressed, fed, hair brushed, shoes on, teeth brushed, lunch made, back packs prepped, water bottles filled and ready for the bus is always quite a spectacle. This past Tuesday was a little different…. Tuesday Mayhem at the Bus Stop. Daughter: Dad I don’t feel good. Me: You will be fine. D: No, I really don’t feel good, my stomach hurts.
