All good things ...

It ended as quickly as it began.  I have been trying to come up with some profound summation to my life as a stay at home dad, but regrettably nothing has come.  I have started writing this post about a half dozen times, but keep coming up blank.  I want to talk about how much I learned or share some funny anctedote about my time, but again, nothing.

All I can say is that staying at home with your kids is not easy.  When you work a job you can turn off your computer or office light and go home.  Not so easy with kids.  I can truly appreciate now the job that Julie has done for all these years and is now doing again.

I have also realized that I am not built to be a stay at home dad.  I have my fathers patience and an inborn need for peace and quiet.  As a stay at home parent patience is essential and peace and quiet is extremely elusive.

So the decision became and easy one.  Julie longed to be home ... I was not fitting into the role ... so here we are.  

I will continue to write.  I thought about changing the blog to something like this ...

But that seemed a little corny, so I have begun a  new blog at:
