There is Always Someone Else

Well I have talked about my lovely, horrible children but the only way they could have been possible is by......

My mom. (Ha, you thought I was going to say my wife didn't you?)

I got to thinking about that shy lady in my life and how she and my wife have to deal with a lot and probably the only reason they haven't buried me in the back yard is due to those pesky morals.

That lady could have killed me at any point in my life and most people know I deserved that and so much more. I do believe I owe everything to my parents. Even meeting my wife. No, they didn't introduce us but they pushed me to follow my dreams and my wife came around.

Now I know it's not Mother's Day but I just was taught to give credit where it's due.

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
