SGT. MAJOR DAD

Dickidoo was in rare form this morning, banging on doors and barking orders to the kids at O'dark hundred.  Even as I tried to make a phone payment he was at max volume into his 'rise and shine' speech that almost resulted in a set of keys to the side of his face as his ranting was picked up by the automated phone operator and interpreted incorrectly.  Lucky for him I was able to correct it.  Had I had to start the whole transaction all over because of his tirade there would have been an ignition key in his ear and the house key up his nose.  I do not like making those automated phone payments and do not take kindly to having to repeat them.

Zack walked by and farted during that call, long and loud.  He's lucky Miss Roboto on the other end didn't hear it and punch in the wrong information or he would have had a set of keys sticking out of his face as well.  He did that on purpose, I know he did, I could tell by the way he and Dickidoo sat there snickering as I tried to concentrate on the call.  Grrrrrrrr.......

I worry about the family during my upcoming trip.  I won't be there to protect them from each other.  I won't be able to interpret teenagers to Dickidoo and reason with him.  I won't be able to support his decisions when the Oompas unfairly decide that he is being unfair.  I am afraid I will return home after 9 days of blissful exile to find that all of the Oompas have been  grounded until they're 40 and Dickidoo suffering from PTS on the couch with his eyes bulging and the veins in his forehead ready to burst.

Hmmmmm... I may need to stock up on a couple more Mai Tais while I'm in Hawaii so I'm in the right frame of mind to deal with that when I get home... cos I'm sure not going to worry about it there.

For those who are planning on sneaking away with me in my suitcase... well, I don't have a suitcase, so you'll all have have to squeeze into a backpack and duffel bag.  The plane leaves on the 20th at 11:55am from the Colorado Springs Airport.  Bring your bathing suits, I hear the water is fine!

Hmm, could it be that subconsciously hubby is reacting to your being gone before you have even left?  Me thinks it will do them all some good to miss ya a little.

God, I hate being on those phone calls and having to repeat things over and over, or getting stuck in spanish. Everyone will be fine and they'll miss you.

Love, Lahoma

PS- steal me something cool off the beach for my fish tank. :)

Oh man, sounds like my house.  Far less children but the same dad!  Mine thinks that my 3 year old does things just to make him mad.  Sometimes she does but most of the time she is just being 3.  Lighten up boys!
