First Father's Day Pt. 2

My Father's Day was pretty relaxed, as it should be.  One thing I did notice when scrolling through my Facebook feed was that there were a few people saying a Happy Father's Day to single Mom's.  That's right, you heard me and you probably saw some of them yourself.  As if Mother's Day isn't enough, they have to claim OUR day.  I'm sorry, but this isn't Single Mother's Day, it's Father's Day.
In other good news nothing much has changed on the frontlines, wake up to go to work, come back to change a diaper, play with Scarlett, Scarlett sleeps, Scarlett poops on me, then I go to sleep.  Routine is the key to keeping sane.

First Father's Day

The little one turns 6 weeks this week.  I really can't wait until we stop counting weeks and start counting years.  I'll also be celebrating my first Father's day, which I almost forgot about.  Father's day is really a pointless holiday compared to Mother's Day, all I really want to do is stay at home and play video games.  Actually, Man of Steel comes out on Friday so I'll be catching that. 

How I imagine my first fathers day will be like
When I get my bills in the mail
When my wife buys more bows for Scarlett
When my wife tells me to pick up my clothes
When the wife wants to watch tv

When Scarlett's poop came out the diaper

When my wife is talking about absolutely nothing
In other good news, Scarlett was approved for Family Access to Medical Insurance Security (FAMIS).  A state program in Virginia where they cover medical costs for newborns, it's a great program and for the next year I'm only looking at paying $5 co-pay for every visit.  If you qualify I suggest you check it out at FAMIS

Break

While the wife and child are on vacation and while I take care of some family stuff, Journey of Dad will be taking a small break.  No worries, I'll be back with better material and new ideas!

This is what I look like waiting for everyone to get back
