I have worked harder in the last 2 weeks than I have in a very long time!
FREE PANCAKE BREAKFAST!!! This morning a town just north of us was having their annual celebration. Along with all the festivities is a FREE pancake breakfast. Now, I don't know how to make life any easier than to offer a stay-at-home dad a free breakfast, all you can eat and NO DISHES OR CLEAN UP to speak of! WOW!!! Now, THAT'S what I call AWESOME!
I have to admit, it hurt a little when my next-to-youngest son said, "Dad, THESE are the BEST pancakes I've EVER HAD!"
PRIVACY!
You know, I spend a lot of my energy doing things for others...it would be so nice to have some privacy, especially during those private moments.
As a dad, I knew privacy would go out the door when children came along...but I thought it was only because my kids hadn't seen me all day when I came home from work. NOW I realize that the whole privacy thing isn't just in the evenings! IT'S ALL DAY! I can't go to the bathroom without someone yelling for me to go to their bathroom and help them or having to call to the baby to not get into that cabinet or remember I forgot to bring the phone with me when it begins to ring, usually JUST AFTER getting comfortable. Sometimes I'm in the shower when the curtain gets pulled back. It's not my wife, it's a child either asking me to help with something or the little child just looking...and ooooo-ing (talk about uncomfortable). DO OTHER MOM'S DEAL WITH THIS OR IS IT JUST ME?!?!?!?
As far as my 'To Do List' is concerned, I am feeling pretty good about my accomplishments...in a positive way. My 'To Do List' today included:
Lunch (forgot that one--don't tell my wife)
Brush Teeth
Go to Bed
So far I'm not doing too bad...(this whole writing the list after I do things and then crossing them off is working VERY well for me).
