Game Off

Captain’s Log. Daddy Chronicles. Diaper Date 1624.  The Captain has not given up much for Lent in the past.  Truthfully, he can’t remember exact items that he has promised to avoid.  Since this year’s theme is all about improving, the Captain has decided that he should give up something substantial for Lent.  The Captain pondered … Read more

The Captain Cooks

Captain’s Log. Daddy Chronicles. Diaper Date 1622. The Captain has taken over the galley…or kitchen as normal folk call it.  Last night an experimentation occured and today either there will be tummy lunch and supper – or a colossal waste to clean. The Captain is cooking roast.  So far it smells good, but we will … Read more

Dishwashing and Bobsledding

Captain’s Log. Daddy Chronicles. Diaper Date 1621.  The Captain remembers those annoying contraptions that girls would make in middle school – you know the ones that looked like cubes?

Exempt From Our Own Words

Captain’s Log. Daddy Chronicles. Diaper Date 1615.  The Captain was sad to learn the news of Whitney Houston. No doubt everyone is aware of her triumphs, failures, and well documented career.

I’m Friends with a Toy. No Judging.

Captain’s Log. Daddy Chronicles. Diaper Date 1611. Children are wonderful. They teach you so much about yourself. You grow with them…blah, blah, blah. Not discounting the warm fluffy stuff (I am warm and fluffy), but not everyday is a Walton’s after school special (young people look it up).  I used to watch Little House on … Read more

Toots Are Funny

Captain’s Log. Daddy Chronicles. Diaper Date 1609.  The name of the Captain’s community is the “Poop Deck”.  Somehow that seems appropriate given the frequent occurence of poop humor when you have a diaper dweller in the house.  Last night, however, the humor came from the eldest. The Captain got home just after dinner – missing … Read more

A Super Day

Captain’s Log. Daddy Chronicles. Diaper Date 1602. Yesterday, the Captain was fortunate enough to acquire a press pass for the Media Day for the Super Bowl – along with a colleague and two students.

Day 1600

Captain’s Log. Daddy Chronicles. Diaper Date 1600…Duh. Some of you may have figured out the diaper date thing.  For those who haven’t – since I’m not smart enough to figure out a star date or anything cool like that, I date the log based on the days since I changed my first diaper (yes there … Read more

Sleep

Captain’s Log. Daddy Chronicles.  Diaper Date 1597…or something like that.  Sleep is the final frontier. I read Facebook statuses from friends about these things called “naps”, or “sleeping in”.  I have forgotten what these experiences are like.  When your first child is born they encourage you to nap when the child naps.  This is sage … Read more

Splish Splash

Captain’s Log. Daddy Chronicles. Diaper Date 1595.  The mornings have been a bit of a struggle.  The eldest feigns sleep and refuses to get out of bed thus delaying our daily launch.  I have resorted to tickling and will escalate to pouring buckets if water if necessary.  The diaper dweller, ever present in ky arms … Read more
