Daddy's Take: Oh Crap, Daddy's Flyin Solo




So, Cara has finally left me due to my obsession with Fantasy Football and Poker. I have to raise the Pumpkin myself.

Ok hyperbole (she likes to play poker and watch football too - score one for the good guys), but still, Cara is leaving town for a few days and it's Daddy's time to shine. I have watched the baby all day and night before. I have put her to bed when Mommy was working late, and I have taken care of her at all points in between. However, this time it's different. There is no magic-mommy safety net (patent pending) to catch the Pumpkin if she goes nuts. Mommy will be several states away, for more than 1 day! Yikes!

I will certainly make the most of the Daddy-Daughter bonding time. I picture it will be something of a cross between this...



And this...



Either way, It should be an adventure.

I will log my results in the same manner as Survivorman and if there is amusing video footage of the events, I will surely have it on youtube before Cara gets back :)

Wish me luck people, I am going in.

He is a good man! And I'm so thankful for this break! I might regain my sanity--while he loses his! (I leave this afternoon.)

Learning I Have Hypertension

This past winter, I discovered I have developed high blood pressure. This came as a surprise for me, since I generally had always had blood ...
