It’s been a while since my last entry but with good reason. Ever try to raise a kid? For those parents out there just try to recall what it was like having all the time in the world to do anything you wanted and suddenly having that all taken away from you in one day! That pretty much sums up the realistic and non-emotional side of childbirth right?
Now don’t get me wrong cuz there’s nothing in this world I love more than being a dad but holy $@#! does it ever suck up your time!!! I’m a proud papa to a now 10 month old l’il chatterbox. We have a great time together and I dread every second we’re apart but it’s such an eyeopener when you come to realize how much time you wasted before having kids and how important it is to plan, plan, plan when you have one. Time is a valuable commodity, like water!! Sorry I lost my train of thought. I just wanted to use the word “commodity”.
As you may or may not have noticed I’m probably the only cartoonist out there that doesn’t draw anything. Or at least I haven’t drawn anything in several months cuz I’ve been up to my eyeballs in poopy diapers (yeah I said poopy) and dry Cheerios my daughter has left on the floor for me to step on. Still I’m having the time of my life but haven’t been able to get much done in the way of artwork. ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Hey all! Just hang in there for a bit as I’m still in the process of moving stuff over to wordpress format including more blog entries. There’ll be more pages added shortly including, and most importantly, my artwork page.
Thanx for your patience!!
Curling iron – check. Hair dryer – check. Make-up bag, – check. Seven pairs of shoes – check. My wife backs out of the driveway and heads off into the distance for a two-night getaway with her girlfriends leaving me alone with our 6month old daughter for the first time. What horrors await me this weekend?
I didn’t really have a problem being alone with our daughter, in fact I felt it was a good opportunity to really get to know her on a daddy/daughter level without the distraction of the mommy element. As I stood in the empty driveway I thought there are probably a lot of guys out there that would be filling their pants as their 6month old filled her pants, watching mommy drive away leaving you both to deal with whatever issues come your way. It’s one helluva wake up call knowing that you’re on your own for the first time, a new parent. Most dads are used to, and quite content, playing on the second team waiting for moms (the first team) to give the signal to come off the bench. ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
