Again I decided to write after a long absence. I figured that if there is anybody left reading my blog following my constant long periods of nothing, that person deserves an update!
Life is as crazy as it ever was with 3 kids in school, 2 kids taking Marital Arts classes and 1 taking dance lessons. It puts a lot of strain on my wife as I am not around to help shuttle back and forth or to help with homework or dinner. The youngest, Ryan is a pisser but is my wife’s shadow. One would have thought with the other 3 kids in school all day that my wife would have some breathing room during the day but Ryan is her shadow and no longer likes to take his long afternoon naps. So needless to say, things are a little tense by the time I get home from work every day.
What does that mean for me you ask? Well when I get home I get to watch a Martial Arts display and see 2 boys beat up each other and a little girl perform a small dance routine while the baby runs around getting into everything he shouldn’t be into before having to do the last bit of homework with my oldest Nick, all while my wife is scrambling in the kitchen or in the basement doing laundry. I still can’t believe the amount of laundry 6 people generate! Also the amount of money it takes (which we don’t have) to keep of house of 6 operating is mind boggling but I digress.
More importantly I am trying to get my kids into cool music instead of the stuff my wife has them listening to! They sing Top 20 songs along with some other whacky stuff. They are also hugely into Eminem and Michael Jackson. Yup that’s right! Eminem is a favorite of the wife so she got the latest edited release of Eminem’s CD and the fascination with Michael Jackson was spawn from a family BBQ last summer in which my oldest heard “Beat It”. I don’t know what to say. I try but when they are in the car so much more with my wife then me, it is hopeless. They also have a Michael Jackson game for the Wii in which they dance along to Michael and his songs. I know, I know! I have tried but it has not been successful. Take a look at what I am up against:
So based on this don’t you think I am screwed?
