First Father's Day

Yesterday was my first Father's Day!

It started pretty early, around 4:30am when I got up to give Claire a pacifier. She was trying real hard to get something going in her diaper, but she was unsuccessful. It was dark and my eyes were still closed, so I was probably cramming that binky in her ear or something. I went back to sleep for about 15 minutes and repeated the whole process again. She finally stayed asleep that time.

The morning was pretty much like every other morning. I ran over the Country Max to pick up some Weed-n-Feed for stage 2 of my lawn care strategy. I didn't have a chance to put it on, I need to mow first, but now I'm prepared for when the time comes.

Rachelle and Claire went in together on a new pair of sunglasses for me! I've been wearing the same pair of sunglasses for years now and there is a clear plastic coating on them that is now wearing off. I was very impressed, I have a hard time finding sunglasses I like for myself, I can't believe she found a pair that I like.

I had a softball game in the early afternoon and boy did that suck. It wasn't that our opponents were that good, we were just that terrible. It was a calamity of errors that just wouldn't stop. I struck out twice! That was the first time I have ever struck out in all the years I've been playing. I think the final score was like 15-4 or something terrible. It was a rough game.

The rest of the day was great. Rachelle made eggplant parmesan for dinner and then Claire and I took a walk around the neighborhood while Rachelle hunted down some Starbucks. She was very well behaved on our walk, which I later found out was because she was asleep the whole time. I had her strapped to my chest facing out so I couldn't see her. I guess our neighborhood is just that interesting.

I guess I would have liked to play better in my game, but other than that it was a pretty great day.
