There is simply no excuse, Daddy owns the title of this journal entry: Grumpy Daddy Wednesday. The day was intended to be a Daddy day, essentially, but Daddy had so much work to do it was difficult to get away from the computer. On top of that, Daddy was scheduled for a business luncheon to discuss with a working group the development of some domestic violence education program initiative (and Daddy had no money, which someday will make for a hilarious story about how GiGi came to the rescueJ).
Daddy did make breakfast for all of us, eggs and toast and milk and rice and milk for egg intolerant MommyJ. Mommy then spent Daddy time with each of you throughout the balance of the morning, while Daddy attempted to resolve work issues on the computer. When Daddy returned from his lunch meeting, the two of you were ready to settle in for your nap, and Mommy was off for some volunteer work at the animal shelter. Fortunately, you both slept through a decent nap and were spared being around Daddy the Grump.
While Mommy was gone, Daddy answered a phone call from ATT informing us our service package (phone, internet, cable-tv) was scheduled next week to be increased by some fifty dollars a month; that helped Daddy’s grumpiness! So Daddy spent about the next two hours (including time when the two of you each awakened with evidence you “caught” Daddy’s grumpiness) trying to negotiate with ATT. Finally, exasperated, Daddy concluded he would discuss with Mommy terminating our ATT service, and going with a competitor.
So after Mommy returned home and agreed, we contacted Brother Sean Franky who came over and spent several more hours discussing a service plan with Comcast. Mommy brought us home dinner, and while the two of you ate dinner with Mommy Daddy finalized efforts to put storm windows in our windows needing them. Then Daddy the Grump ate his dinner, and began disassembling our baby cribL to make arrangements to sell it so we can purchase a mattress for your “big boy” bed, Buddha.
By evening’s end, everyone had had their full share of Daddy the Grump, including Daddy. We all went to bed, perhaps Daddy needing a night’s rest more than anyone, and Daddy spent much sleepless time reflecting on the necessity of sending Daddy the Grump away for good, and keeping a Happy Daddy who recognizes all our blessings! So that’s the deal!
