Lent. As you can imagine, DAD is not a big fan of this time of year.
For those of you who are not familiar with Lent, it’s the Catholics/Christians second chance at the New Year’s Resolutions that they blew off. This time they only have to be good for 40 days, not like forever.
WIFE says that giving up not getting any Oral Therapy does not count (think about that one for a sec………..there it is).
So I had to make a list. Here are the things I am planning on giving up or working on during Lent:
- Actually listening to WIFE talk about her day and not just nodding while I look at my Twitter feed.
- Using more than one Clorox wipe to clean the entire bathroom
- Using soap and hot water to clean the dishes and not just some really hot water
- Vacuum the entire carpet, not just around the stuff on the floor
- Not use the excuse “they’re boys” for letting the kids go out in public without wiping the food off their faces
- Quit feeding the dog the babies leftovers and calling it good
- Quit letting the dog poop in the neighbors yard and covering it with snow instead of picking it up
- Get the baby when he wakes up and not play on Facebook for 20 more minutes pretending he will fall back asleep
- Shop at grocery stores based on price and quality and not how hot the moms look in yoga pants
- I will no longer say “good one” when the kids burp and or fart
- I will no longer substitute Benadryl for a good night time story
- I will no longer use the words “douche bag, douche, douchey douche, douchemeister, king o’ douches, douchapotamus or Sir douche a lot.”
As you can see it is going to be a very long 40 days! What are you giving up for Lent?
I Don’t do the whole lent thing. However me and my wife have been fighting to quit smoking for the last few weeks. It has been a seriously hard battle and in comparison some of what you are giving up would be ALOT easier. well except the dog poop one. I hate picking up poop Great article though !
