So my 10 days of being Mr. Mom is coming to an end. For anyone out there reading this, hear me and hear me now: I AM FATHER OF THE YEAR. It is not arguable...this is what my regular routine has been since the wife left for Vietnam
6:00am – 6:30am wake up, shower get ready for work, make a pot of coffee
6:30am – 6:50am wake son up if not already up, change diaper put him in clothes for the day
6:50am – 7:30am feed son, feed myself, get bag ready for Day Care, put my lunch and sons bag in the car
7:30am – 7:50am drop son off @ Day Care
7:50am – 8:15am drive to work
8:30am – 5:00pm work
5:00pm – 5:30pm fight traffic and race to pick up son from Day Care
5:30pm - 6:00pm fight traffic to get home
6:00pm – 6:30pm prepare dinner, feed son, eat a quick dinner for myself, clean up son
6:30pm – 7:00pm playtime...for son, not me.
7:00pm – 7:30pm prepare bath for son, give son a bath, wrestle to put him in his PJ’s, get sleep bottle ready
7:30pm – 8:00pm a little bit of playtime depending how tired I am, put son down for bed
8;00pm – 9:00pm clean up dinner mess, do the dishes, maybe get a little bit more to eat, prepare sons bag for tomorrow, clean the floor from what son didn’t want, clean up bedroom & bath tub from bath time, get my lunch for tomorrow ready
9:00pm – finally time for myself...sometimes I do chores but very minimal. Most times I watch ball, play vids or clean up the mess made by son.
And these are the things I do daily...nevermind the little curveballs the son will throw in there. BUT...it's all worth it when I see this smiling face:
So I’ve been doing this for the past week and a bit...this should be enough to qualify me for Father of the Year. Wife comes back tomorrow...I can’t wait! LOL
I'm working on another "Pinoy Pride" article...check back in a couple days.
