Destruction only Dad could do.

*The view expressed in the following blog are not necessarily by the main contributor and owner....because this is Chris's writing....and he's a bit more negative...

Alright so before I begin the tale that the title of this blog refers to I have a few things I need to get out first. First of all, infant germs should be banned per U.N resolution. HOLY $#*@! Seriously folks, there is something so very wrong when two full grown adults get wiped out for over a week. It's not like we don't have a life time of antibodies built up from 28 years of colds and flus. They should really let parents know in there birthing classes that they could potentially be bringing Patient Zero for a next worldwide pandemic into the world.

Well, enough on Typhoid Penny.

A few nights ago I was sleeping out in the living room on the couch. No I was not in trouble, but I was keeping the dog company....look the dog doesn't like to be alone....look don't judge me..Anyway moving on. Penny had just woken up and was finished feeding. Laura was not feeling well so I decided to take her in the living room with me to get her to go back to sleep. So I figured that I could prop myself up in the top corner of the pull-out. I piled up the pillows, picked up Penny, then proceeded to sink right to the floor. The front legs of bed and the rear legs of the couch both shot straight to the ceiling. Imagine a couch that is built into a V shape with a 230 lbs man and his 4 month old daughter (who is asleep) being sucked into the unknown bowels of the pull-out bed at 3:30 in the morning. After calling for help (Penny is now awake at this point) Laura was able to bring the bed back to the floor. Unfortunately we did not notice that the side table had shifted and as the couch was corrected the table was knocked over. It is now 3:33 AM and the early morning is filled with sounds of crying baby and breaking glass. Luckily we only lost one glass, but several items are in need of repair. Who knew that putting a baby to sleep could be a such a hazardous ordeal?

So that was just one very early morning out of a week that has included the realization that my daughter could be a WMD, your wife can get an ear infection so bad that her ear drums can burst, and that I probably would have gotten more rest if I went to work than stayed at home.

Ah well...no one said any of this would be easy...and if I ever get my sanity back and realize any of you out there in reader land did, know that I will hunt you down.
