The Day After Father’s Day

Yesterday was Father’s Day and I didn’t write a tear-jerking or funny post about life as a dad. Almost every dad blogger and their dog wrote one and they were all great! It’s not that I dropped the ball on my duty as a dad blogger, it’s just that I feel like every day is Father’s Day being home with my kids. They are all special, even the stressful ones. OK, so maybe I was a little bit lazy on writing the post.

Today was an exceptional day after Father’s Day since Tiger Woods forced an 18 hole playoff yesterday by sinking a putt at the last possible chance he had. Surprised? Me either, and neither was Rocco Mediate who is probably one of the nicest guys on the PGA Tour.

Thanks to this extra round of the US Open, I pretty much did nothing productive all day except unload and load the dishwasher. I did spend some quality time chatting online about the playoff - one of the places being Kevin Robbins’ staff blog at the Austin American Statesman where he was live blogging in a chat room. There were some technical difficulties with the program there so the conversations were limited, but it was still a great idea.

I guess I did do something else productive today: I got a haircut and went to the bank to pay the mortgage. But other than that it was just an extension of yesterday and every other day when my life as a father is better than life without my kids.

Awwww… love the pics! Happy belated Father’s Day!

I must admit I wanted Tiger to win. He was in such pain, and still played through it. You know he must have been hurting to lean on those clubs like he had to at times…

Hey - being a ‘little bit lazy’ is allowed on Father’s Day - and I think it is so cool that you think every day is Father’s Day. Love the pictures….getting right in the spirit of things, aren’t they?!

I didn’t post either on Father’s Day. I tried to stay off the computer to honor my husband. I had stored a Father’s Day post ( a tribute to SAHDs ) in my head & forgot to write it.(I’ll have to try to post on this coming weekend)

Sounds like you had a great weekend!
