Mixed Emotions

Well it's hard to explain (yes, i have a big mouth and yes it is hard to explain)but today was the first day of school and my oldest three started back to school while Mister Rocky is going to be all alone during the day. I am happy and sad,like I said mixed emotions. It pulled on my heartstrings knowing Ella is going into the 6th grade.(aaaaaahhhhhhh, it's that age!!!!).  I love my kids and this time around was especially hard b/c as I said they are getting older.

So what could I do....cry and shed a few tears!!!

Nope!!!

I told my two oldest I loved them as loud as possible and kissed them where everyone could see and have them be embarrassed.

Yeah!!!! That will teach them to stop getting older!!!

NOPE!!! NOT EVEN LIKELY. AT LEAST I KNOW I CAN EMBARRASS THEM.

Parental fun!!!

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
