Put that in your pipe and smoke it, CMC statisticians!

Well slap my butt and call me Shirley! I'm posting about daddy stuff again :) That didn't take long.

I just updated my profile with my college alma mater to show my "industry" listing as "stay at home/parenting." With pride, I might add. I was reminded to do so by a survey I received from CMC. The survey was trying to measure earning potential as a product of whether CMC alumni were active in sports.

Ahem.

For the love of Pete, CMC - can't you think about anything else??? What else do you expect from a college whose Latin motto (crescit cum commercio civitas) can literally be translated as "money makes the world go round"? Those who know CMC know what I'm talking about. Those who know me know why I haven't been too enamored with CMC these past few years.

I checked the CMC alumni directory and found four other male CMC alums who list their "industry" as stay-at-home/parenting. I sense a network in the making.

So now what?

Oh dear. It's been almost two months since I last posted. This post probably should be just as much about my blogging mojo as it is about my stay-at-home daddy mojo - but who would want to read that. Too much neurosis all at once, thank you very much. I'll tray to stay specific to stay-at-home fatherhood.

Maybe being a SAHD (as opposed to a 'SAHM') so far just hasn't been too profound. Otherwise I would have written more posts. I could blog about being a stay-at-home parent in general, but that's not very unique. Ditto for blogs about parenting in general or about how wonderful my own child is.

Don't get me wrong: I absolutely LOVE being a daddy, stay-at-home or otherwise. Maybe staying home with baby is part of my own "daddy narative", but it's so far been hard to blog about. Would it be easier to just blog about life in general - and would that be worth reading? What do you think, dear readers?
