Well it's the weekend finally

Now I can spend some family time

you know being a stay at home dad is not as bad as I thought.
I look at it as being a very important career.
like maybe a domestic engineer or a CEO of the home or Mr Mom corporation it's all wrapped up in one, I love spending time with my kids they are a joy to my heart and I am a very lucky man to be able to spend all this time with them.

I remember not long ago when I had to work 16 hours a day and would not get home until late, by then I was either to tired to interact with them as much as I would have liked to d.

I think I had life misunderstood who knew it could be so joyful watching your children grow caring for there needs,them depending on you, looking up to you.

my wife and I spend quality time together while the kids are at school
we get a few days a week together when shes off.

we spend most weekends with our children because she don't get to spend enough time as she would like to with them. well it's getting late.
I will update real soon !

Here I go it's now 6:00 AM I've been up since 5:00 got up fixed coffee for the wife
she don't eat breakfast..Think goodness..if she did she would probably want
sausage gravy and homemade biscuits, scrambled eggs and hash browns. I like to surprise her every once in a while, Yes.. people I can cook. I know you ladies are surprised. I learned it from my grandparents and mother I actually like to cook home cooked old fashioned meals like black skillet homemade corn bread slow cooked on top of the stove not store bought. made with real corn meal and baking powder no preservatives, what I don't like to do is clean up the mess after words. But I do!. (sorry my mind wonders sometimes not sure what causes that I just started that since I been working from home ..ummmm?)
I will get back to what I was doing. she (my wife) left at 5:30AM this morning. I started the kids breakfast, cereal and toast, juice that was easy. it's Friday people. give me a break. Just joking!

Well I am off for my morning rush got to get the children up. Rise And Shine get up children it's time. Rush rush rush! lets go lets go your in the dads army now! (they laugh as always)dads the Sargent.. lets get a move on! you got to get your breakfast the chow halls open, please when your done empty your bowls and put your dishes in the sink please.. all the while I get there cloths laid out, listen to them say I don't want that (I need to work on that come up with a plan) like getting there cloths out the night before.

then help the five year old get his hair combed help him dress (if I let him do it he would wear every thing backwards) before the girls take over the bathroom...I got a plan you women know what I mean.

I get him ready because he like a few extra minutes to get woke up so I let the girls eat and get dressed while he's in the rest room. hes sometimes worse then the girls he's a grouch in the mornings.

I check over there home work be sure everything is signed as he eats. get his teeth brushed. find there coats backpacks shoe's. it's now 7:00am only fifteen more minutes TO GO! thinking to myself. this is not easy what a task.

well I check the weather to see if they need jackets or coats. oh..shoot got to find them. It's now time to get them off to the bus stop and there off.

I come in grab the news paper and a cup of coffee and unwind a minute before starting house work.. what a morning. It's 7:37AM I begin to pick up the disaster the kids left behind. Man... there has to be a better way I can't afford a maid uuummmm. This place is a mess. yes, Guys..I do house work as well.

I first begin by throwing a load of cloths in the washer all the cloths the children taken off this morning like there jammys, refold the ones they threw down the ones they didn't want to wear, I then load the dish washer wipe the counter tops and table and no I am not wearing a apron guys...

you all think this is funny I bet. I know you ladies are having a laugh thinking to yourselves. Yes.. now someone really knows what a women goes through all day long.
I admit I was one of those guys at one time I now know its not easy after getting a taste of walking in your shoes. Well I got to finish up my daily duties.
I will return.
But for now good morning to all.
