YHC woke to a sore throat coated with that cottage cheese consistency of mucous. You know what Dice means…the snot you projectile shoot out and it sticks…sticks to the side of the sink basin….the water won’t dislodge it…and you are forced to wipe it down with your hand…or face the wrath of the M if you ignore it like you don’t see it and leave it there for her to find when she goes to wash her face. Dice always washes it down, now. So it took an extra three minutes to get my morning game going. The Dice-mobile had a serious covering on it’s windshield taking another extra five minutes to defrost. Then the engine dinged it was running on fumes, losing another four minutes to the gas station fill-up. Dice usually gets onsite at the AO early, and much earlier when he Q’s. Today, YHC pulled into the lot at 5:44, and even at 32 degrees there were two Pax ready and waiting on him. Dice, however, wasn’t the last person to show 🙂
Some pleasantries exchanged on the way to the asphalt start, discussions on Christmas dietary indiscretions. Dice shared how he made his 2.0s clean out and reorganized one closet each (at about 2 hours per kid) to try fitting in all their new Christmas toys/clothes and odds-n-ends. M.Dice gave a frown before bed “You made your kids clean their room for two hours on Christmas…. On Christmas. Really? On Christmas…” (it sounded a little like a Stephen A. Smith bit) Dice did not get her vote for Father of the Holidays 🙁
The workout started off slow, and built up. Today was the first Q YHC did not have a prepared workout – so sans Weinke we went to work.
Cornholio shared his story of pre-Christmas errands while managing his kids. The Holiday Trip to the ABC store, with one in the Baby Bjorn and one in hand held tow. His oldest asked about the pretty bottles and was told they were “Adult Beverages”. The response “So if you drink them they make hair grow under your arms”. Good connection. Cornholio worried Child Services was getting a call from the ABC store attendant. Perhaps he’s not getting the Father of the Holidays award either. (Side note: For those of you without kids or your last one arrived greater than 10 years ago…a Baby Bjorn is that back packed stuffed with a kid, worn reverse clothing out front gangsta-riffic like the 90’s fad started by CrissCross (and yes, in college dice once proved it is hard to hit the bathroom in a hurry with six beers in and your fly is zipped up in the back…who the $&*! thought that was a cool look?). Yeah, Dice used one. And yes, putting it on is somewhat emasculating (the first time), sorta like the final realization…. yeah, you’re are getting a mini-van. However, you get your man card right back when you use the Baby Bjorn so that you can walk thru Lowe’s/Home Depot in the lumber section to do some home improvement shopping and get some fresh sawdust on your baby’s head. Still, every time I see someone wearing one it reminds Dice of Robert DeNiro’s Character in the “Focker” movies…. an over-the shoulder boulder holder (Bra) for a man that you insert a baby bottle into so you can nurse your kid mommie style…. yeah….yeah….no.
