Normally I write a pretty thorough update on Wednesdays to give an Operation Jack rundown, but I guess I’m in one of those funks right now where I’m not much in the mood to. I think mentally I’m at a point where I feel overextended (wow, big shocker!) and I’m trying to do too much by myself. I’m not going to air dirty laundry, so I’ll just be super quick about what you need to know.
– For those of you who were planning on attending Saturday’s pasta dinner, I’ve decided to cancel it. I don’t want to get into details about why, but for those of you who paid, I’ve issued refunds. If you didn’t get an email from PayPal, please let me know.
– I haven’t announced anything about shirts and stuff in a while, so if you haven’t been there yet, head to our Sponsors page … we’d love to send you some stuff and list you on there. The sweatshirts get pretty good reviews.
– If you’re in Orange County, we’re having a Silpada party as a fundraiser on Friday night. It’s open to anybody. If you’re interested, view our evite for the event.
I know one of the main reasons I write this blog every day is for you guys want to know what it’s like to be me and go through what I do on a daily basis as I attempt to run 60 marathons for charity this year while managing a full-time job and a family. Well, today it sucks. I think I hit a point where I’m extremely frustrated right now. I think it’s a combination of some expectations some people have of me, plus some expectations I have of others. And on top of that, if my wife ever gets upset, that sends me into a tailspin.
I tell people I’m frustrated and I hear all sorts of comments from a lot of you about how I’m inspiring, but all I want to do is crawl into a hole and not deal with anybody. My tailspin feels like a freefall and I don’t want to stand up with a smile today. This will pass, I’m sure, but I guess today you get to see me in my less-than-cheeriest state.
But I’ll at least leave you with something positive.
Jack playing with Tiff, using sticker toys to make something.
It was a bowtie! And when he was done, he said “bowtie” to her. I think he might have been prompted, but it was still pretty fun.

I don’t know what else to say than you inspire the heck outta me, Sam, and I can only hope to help you smile. I hope this brightens your day (it always cracks me up): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47D9-U8hn5I

It’s okay to feel overwhelmed and exhausted. You are allowed to have a bad day! Whatever the issue was that prompted this, I hope you get it dealt with so you can move on. By all means, crawl into a hole for the next few days and don’t come out until you have to! BTW, love the bowtie. Jack is amazing, your family is wonderful, and in spite of any grumpiness I suspect you will continue on your path or motivation and inspiration. [I’ll leave you with a verse I hope you find encouraging– II Cor. 9:8]

Sam and Tiff you both are amazing people for doing what you do for Jack and Autistic kids everywhere. Sam, I bet you have another day like today so just roll with it. All I can say is thank you for doing what you, both, do and the sweatshirt is the BOMB DOT COM!!!

Alright, who’s butt do I need to kick? I might be short, but, I’m fiesty. Seriously, I’m game. After all, I married into an Italian family, we know people. Just sayin’.
I’m sorry you’re having a rough day–you’re doing an amazing thing and it’s totally understandable and normal to have a bad day. I just hope things get better for you. We’re all supporting you–don’t be afraid to lean on us. That’s what we’re here for–for you, your family and this great cause.
PS. Jack and that bowtie? Um, I wouldn’t have been able to create that–and I’m not kidding! He’s so creative!
