Just in case you were wondering, Zoe wouldn’t sleep last night in protest to the HORRIBLE officiating at this years Super Bowel. I spelled it right. Not that she is a big Seahawks fan, just a fan of the NFC, but it was really bad. Cost her half a can of Nutramigen (thats ten bucks for you unknowing) her dad lost in a bet with the Firearms Detail Sergeant.

Also, her favorite ad was the caveman/ FedEx commerical.

I was recently told by one of my faithful readers that I seem angry on my website. Let me assure you, this 36 year old first time daddy is anything but angry. Zoe, in her short 6 weeks, 1 day, 16 hours and 52 minutes has been the biggest joy my heart has ever known. She instantaneously became the MOST important thing in my life. So perhaps this impoirtance is what has breeded what might seem to be anger in my words but quite the contrary. Joy my life has never known iuntil now is the feeling that Zoe brings me. Its the stupid, capitalistic formula companies that bring the blackest, coldest, murderous, darkest feeling of hate in my heart. Just kidding.

By the way, anyone know where the Enfamil headquarters are?

My wife Kris has told me for the entire time we have been together (10 years in August) that I have an addictive personality. I have been fighting with her about this for many years. She says I get addicted to everything I enjoy: eating, loafing, yelling, sleeping, computers, shooting trap and skeet, golf, Internet porn, crack, you name it, apparently I’m addicted to it. Anyway, she feels that my addictive personality might be getting used on our beautiful daughter, Zoe. How might you ask? Well, its the swing.

Kris thinks that I use the swing too much. That its like cheating on being a responsible father to our daughter. She thinks that Zoe spending time in the swing can be just an escape for me. Hey, if it feels good and isn’t hurting you or anyone else what’s the big deal? Besides, I just use the swing for Zoe occasionally. Only once in a while, It’s not like I need to use it. It helps her stop fussing and puts her to sleep fast. I could use all kinds of methods to accomplish the same goal. I just use this one cause it works. And works well. I can quit using it at anytime. Seriously, its not like I’m hurting anyone, right? Sure it helps me escape reality and makes me feel like I don’t have a responsibility to keep my eye on her, but its just for short periods of time. So it’s OK. And she looks so cute in it sleeping. Besides, there’s plenty of times when I have lulled her to sleep in my own arms, I just can’t think of any right now, but I will.

Does it sound like I’m addicted to you? Oh, crud, I gotta go, Zoe’s waking up and I need to get her out of the swing before Kris gets home. Later.

Congratulations to Tony and his wife Steph on the birth of their daughter, Kaitlyn. I don’t have anymore details yet. I just got a text message from Fred letting me know they had the baby today.

For those of you who don’t know who Tony is, he is a friend of my brother Fred from work. He has a bLog similar to mine. Its in my links area. His website address was www.ohmer-family.org/kaitlyn. Fred told me that after reading my bLog, a bunch of guys from his work pressured him to get the web address www.KaitlynStation.com. I also sent him a comment on his bLog adding a bit more pressure and Tony finally let me know yesterday that he broke down and registered KaitlynStation.com. I am humbled and flattered by that. Pretty Cool, huh? Maybe we’ll start a string of baby bLogs that end in “station.com” Perhaps you should register your kids name + station.com today! I hear it’s catching on…
