Damnit, I just spent 4 hours scrubbing away cleaning because I’m going out of town tomorrow and I guess I want the place to look clean for the damn spiders.

Thanks Mom.

This, followed closely by the kids running in and out of the damn house and leaving doors open. Ain’t trying to cool off the whole damn neighborhood here.

ETA: And that feeling of hypocrisy for bitching at my kids for every transgression I know 6 year old me committed while trying to act like I didn’t do that as a kid.

No better feeling than coming back to a clean house.

Well, besides leaving it in.

When I told the teenager, when I overheard what music he was listening to, the same thing my mom told me when she heard me cranking Nirvana. “Son, that’s not music. That’s noise.”

When I started waking up in the middle of the night thinking about work.

When I was a kid and would visit my grandparents, my grandfather would stay up after everybody else went to bed, sitting at the kitchen table, smoking cigarettes and thinking. I always wondered what he was thinking about. Now I know.

When I told my kids my first "dad" joke.
Don't remember what it was, but I'm sure it was corny

That’s what my mother says and I don’t quite feel that. It’s more like I’ll miss one crumb and it will rot and the next thing I know, I will come home and see this:

I woke up at 2 am last Sunday and walked out back to take a piss. Ended up blowing all the leaves off the patio before going back to bed.

My step dad always kept a mini van as the family car in case he needed to carry a big arse box even though it was just me, my mom, and him in the house.

Fast forward 20 years and my girlfriend (now wife) was car shopping and was deciding between a Honda Accord or CR-V. My input was “go with the CR-V if they’re about the same price just in case you need to bring home a big arse box……shite……”

When I started taking cat naps during Razorback football games. I never could fathom how my dad did that and considered himself a fan.

After our 1st son was born. Time to be an adult, and stop doing stupid stuff.
