Age is showing

NuAlong with missing my mancard I apparently am losing my age to the smartest smart alleck 10 year old I know.

Let me show you the way.

Cassie and I were watching a movie.(Star Trek if you must know) The old logo for Paramount Pictures came up on the screen and Cassie says "Oh I know that. It's not the stars flying in that I am used too."

I looked at her and gritted my teeth and said to myself she's only ten. You can't beat her to death.

Now this will make sense if you know my daughter but if you don't let me lay it out for you.

This girl is very vibrant and smarter than me already. (I know I am not dumb at all and once will say I am decently smart) This girl can give you a look that will stop your heart, make you cringe, and smile with pride b/c she's yours and no one else's. You fathers will know exactly what I mean.... Dad pride for the daughter. No other pride like it.

Cassie threw that look at me and I swear she looked like she was stabbing me with the age fork. Like she knew this movie came out when I was younger than her. She is just so smart I want to slap her to keep her as a little girl. So yes I am proud of that girl even though she pokes at my age every chance she gets.

Once again thank you all.

Missing the Mancard

Have you dads ever had that overwhelming feeling of losing your manhood??? YEAH, ME TOO!!! Let me start out with some background.  I am a 35 year old disabled veteran and father of four, yes four children. I have 3 daughters and the youngest of the four is the sole boy. I know what you are thinking, if you are a woman you are saying "Oh he's going to be so spoiled like he has four mommas." If you are a man you are saying "Oh lord get that boy a gun and a football and both of you get out of the house." Don't get it wrong.  I love all of my kids but the tutus and nail polish can be overwhelming. Sometimes I think about huffing the nail polish so I at least won't have complete recall of the events that led up to the makeover massacre of 2016. It all started with my beautiful girl Ella. She is almost twelve and smarmy as can be. Right on the edge of womanhood. (NOOOOOO!!!!) If you are a father of a girl you understand. Ella is still in the stage of thin...

At Least Use Your Hands

I could write a book about my kids. After all they are the inspiration for this blog. Mind you it would be poorly written but light hearted. I have given examples of my crazy family and my antics conveyed through all four of my kids. Sometimes I think they are animals and my reactions to them are what really surprises me. This is one of those moments... Amanda, my lovely, beautiful wife, Rocky and myself are eating at a restaurant.(a guilty pleasure while the other kids are at school) Rocky the big boy likes to feed himself and we let him. No restraints for this kid. He is constantly moving about with food in his hands and all over me.( I don't remember eating that. How did macaroni get on my pants?) Rocky was eating his macaroni and I look over and he is lapping it up like a dog..... Yes, here it comes... "At least use your hands!!!!!" Really??? That actually came out of my mouth. Now I am sorry to cut it short but he is now putting his macaroni hands on the windo...

Do I really look that stupid?

So this morning I was getting the kids ready for school. "What? No way!!! Not you wayne!" Yes me, hence my quirky title "Diary of a Stay-@-home Dad!" So this morning like many mornings when they think I am not paying attention, Cassie hits me with out of left field questions. I am sure this crazy girl expects me to swing and miss and catch myself up..... Not today junior. The question of the morning was. "Hey dad, you know some kids do things to try and get out of going to school. As a kid did you ever do something like that when you were my age???" Really??? Do I look that stupid? So what did I do? I lined that ball straight and smacked it as hard as I could and watched her tumble head of heels like Charlie Brown after he threw that pitch. Ironically enough she was half dressed when asking me this. I am just glad the questions are easy enough to hit....so far. Seriously though do I really look that dumb to my kids??? Have a nice day
