It’s Ten PM…
…do you know where your children are?
They actually say that on the News here. Well. My little boy is fast asleep in his bed and his Daddy is sitting here writing yet another Blog Post. As an UpDate to the below post, I did clean up the kitchen and I did fold laundry and put that away. yay for me, domestic god of the century. Sometimes I do wonder, though… if it wouldn’t be awesome if I was a Stay At Home Dad and took care of the Boy and the House… but I really do enjoy fixing the planes.
It honestly gives me great satisfaction knowing that everytime I fix something on these planes it helps serve the U.S. Military mission and that, in turn, helps keep us free.
Now, whether I agree about how our leaders use the military in terms of Iraq, Afghanistan, etc… that is a different story. If you think everybody in the military in a Republican Warhawk, I’m here to tell you it isn’t true. Nothing makes me more uncomfortable than the notion of having someone like Fred Thompson or Giuliani running our country for four years.
Hmmm… perhaps a Policial Blog Post will be in the works for the future???
My son and I watched “The Goofy Movie” and I was thinking “Wow, that is us in 13 years right there…” — If you have never seen this movie, Goofy is an over-affectionate father who constantly embarrasses his teenage son, Max. I am just like Goofy in my fathering. I believe in telling my son often how much I love him, I kiss him and I hold him and I’m just an overboard big softie Dad. I’m not one of those reserved, “My-Dad-Never-Said-He-Loved-Me” types.
My son is not even two yet and I do often wonder if I will be a constant source of embarrassment to him later on.
Highly likely.
Then we watched a Mickey Mouse movie and I could barely keep my eyes open. I don’t like being that tired when I am watching my son, but fortunately he was sitting in my arms with me on the couch so if he wanted to get down and play or anything it would wake me up.
Mommie got home at about 7:30pm and as soon as she walked in the door I let her take over and she gave him a bath I think and put him to bed I don’t know because I fell asleep so hard until just now.
Well I think she went to bed and I’m going to bed and I’ll see you all in the morning with my weekly weigh-in. If I get the Urge to Eat tonight I’ll try and read some other BS blogs to distract myself.

You sound like you’ve got your priorities in order and that you are a wonderful Dad! I certainly appreciate your comments related to Thompson and Guiliani–scary thought, indeed!
