rDadsLife!

'Twas the week before Christmas when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring because we couldn't afford to feed a mouse
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care
While this single father was steadily pacing wondering what happened to his money and his hair.

His three boys were nestled all snug in their beds
As their father played out bankruptcy court in his head
A stripper I wished for in a G-string and heels
While crying and cursing through this month bills
When outside our crib there arose several thuds and a bang
I looked out the window and saw the unemployed stockbrokers all formed as a gang
I crumbled my 401k statement into a ball and
Throwing it at the well suited crowd and yelling 'From 80k to pennies, I curse you all!!'

With that I closed the window and poured myself a stiff drink

For on the verge of insanity this dad was on the brink

Happy Holidays!!

Tis' the season of layoffs and foreclosures yet the excitement of Christmas has invaded the rDad's house like the Black Plague sweeping through Europe.  Except there are no dead peasants.  Nope, in this house the only thing lying on the pathologists' table is my cash reserve and credit card limit.  Santa Clause gets top billing and Dad gets the pay off the fat man's debt.  In an effort to have some fun with my insanely curious young men I decided to put all of their gifts under the tree a full week before the big day.  Now, I know this could be viewed as cruel and unusual punishment however I do it out of love.  And, I also do it because I love to screw with my kids heads.  As if the act of putting their presents under the tree a week early wasn't harsh enough I also left the name tags off.  My boys are going nuts.  In an effort to have some fun with my boys I came up with a system which allows me to know whose gift is whose and offered up $5 to the first kid who cracks the code.  Pure evil, right?  I know.  And, I love it.  

Can you spot the system??

you wrapped each kids gift in one type of wrapping paper, so each child has a different kind of wrapping paper making no name tags necessary and you only know which presents go to who.

I dont think they'll need therapy, just tons of medication. Thanks for the great comment and accolades. I hope you and your kiddos have a wonderful Christmas and an amazing New Year!!

You are cruel and sadistic! You are humorous and as always, bang on. You know your kids are going to need therapy when they grow up, right?

Merry Christmas!
