Life can be interesting considering the hand we're dealt.  For instance, it's been a long time since I've touched on writing here and yesterday I got my automatic renewal on the site and it reminded me it's about time.  For such a long time life revolved around work and being the provider for my family.  As of a few months ago, all that has changed.  My wife is now the provider and I am a "Stay at Home Dad".  I always wished I could have a try at being a stay at home dad and I will admit it is not the easiest job in the world. (Don't tell my wife I said that).  Dont get me wrong, it's awesome to have time with my children as I never would have imagined but when the temper tantrums start, or my lovely nearly 2 year old starts screaming at me or the endless never ending supply of dirty clothes that awaits to be washed, its a long days work.  Yup, I said it, it is a long day... but still its rewarding.  I am desparetly trying to get those never ending piles of laundry done and those small chores that I give myself done in hopes of sitting back and relaxing.   However I know all too well that will not happen.

I am looking forward to sitting back with a good book while the kids are napping and finding my wife's secret stash of bon-bon's that I know she has to have somewhere.  I did discover s secret stash of chocolate yesterday!  As my days continue to revolve around getting my son off to school, girls entertained, house cleaned, dinner cooked, homework done and ready to greet my wife when she gets home from work I look forward to writing about my experiences here and my attempts to be "A Better Catholic Dad".  It's my turn to help guide my children down the right path after my wife did it all of these years.  Hopefully I wont un-do too much of her hard work.
