manlycornhusk's blog post - I am a survivor

6 kids, 5 under 7yo, 6 strobe balls, plenty of soda pop, pizza, chips, cotton candy, it's dark, everyone has to pee at the same time, the cattle prod has gone dead and I actually was able to watch about half of the movie despite the screams and laughter and odd smells that permeate the night.....gotta love it.

Who says being a dad/grandfather wasn't worth it. Wouldn't trade it for anything in this world.

Mother nature kissed us on the cheek last night. A couple of hours before heading out to the drive-in, the local forecast called for severe thunderstorms and high winds. For you flatlanders..you know what that means. It's usually bad news between horizontal rain, blinding lightning strikes and trees trying to bend over and touch the ground. Somehow...and I don't have a clue....it pretty much blew right overtop of us with just a sparse sprinkling of rain. The doppler radar showed a nasty storm stretching 200miles square and heading right for us...lots of reds and yellows.. By the time we had situated ourselves, the drops were dry and the clouds had all blown NE at the movies end. So...even though it's Fathers Day...thanks Mama Nature.

Happy Fathers Day to all you out there. Ya know, it's funny. I love my dad and miss him. When this day comes around, I still don't think of it being for me....it's still all about him. This is the second one without him and he is sorely missed.

Peace and Love and Daddyhood is pretty damned cool.
