THE STORY BEHIND THE BLOG

This blog started as a place for me to put a few stories I had written about a dad and his two kids and the "everyday adventures" they had together. But it has sort of evolved into a hodge podge of dad related thoughts, stories, songs, and other misc. things.

The good, the bad, and the random.

You probably would never guess from reading my posts, but I don't put a lot of time in on these things.  There is not a lengthy writing and editing process that goes on here at the Everyday Adventure offices....I just sit down, type for two minutes and hit the "Publish" button.

I wanted to point that out, because I'm sure this list would be much, much longer (and funnier) if I'd actually take some time to organize my ideas.

Pros to being a stay-at-home parent:

  • Listening to Crowded House really really loud while folding laundry*
  • Eating potstickers and Doritos for lunch
  • The first two days of the NCAA Tournament
  • Day playoff baseball games
  • Lots of time for marathon training



Cons to being a stay-at-home parent

  • Not seeing people all day
  • The $50 paycheck every other Friday**
  • Lots of time for marathon training
  • When the ice breaker "So, what do you do?" question is asked when meeting new people at social gatherings 


* This is what inspired this post today.   :)
**A true stay-at-home parent would have even less.  I cheat here by working 4 hours a week at Target.

    Pro: No pants.
    Con: Scrambling to find pants when the doorbell rings.

      100% right on that one Tony...but I can't say that in public or Becky gets embarrassed.

    "The first two days of the NCAA Tournament"...

    That really made me laugh, thinking back to how much I enjoyed watching all those games.
