Thanks, Jennifer. Knowing that my blog has finally achieved “Wicked Pissah” status is very meaningful to a Boston-area native such as myself.

Daddy…just wanted to say that I found your blog on a trail from Suburban Turmoil and I laughed my ass off. In the vernacular of an 80’s chick from north of Boston – I find it ‘wicked pissah’.

GO SOX!

BTW – my 7yo asked me at the bus stop this morning if the Sox were on tonight and I said ‘if you take a nap, they are’….

Giovanna: Thanks for checking out my blog and leaving a comment. I appreciate the open-mindedness behind such a move.

And, yeah, for all I know, we could be neighbors, so keep an eye out for me; I’m the guy in the Obama shirt. (Either that, or a DaddyScratches.com shirt! )

Daddy Scratches – I just wanted to give you and your blog a visit. I know you are no fan of mine (saw your response to my comment on Dooce) but after visiting your blog and realizing heck, we could be neighbors, I thought I’d leave you a comment too. After all, bloggers love comments!
Well, I know you don’t like my politics. Neither do I. I really don’t have any political views. I’m more of a pot stirrer than anything else. Just thought I should attempt to make nice as we may likely run into each other in real life one day considering we could be neighbors and my boys are pirate and star wars fans like yours. Don’t hate me for being a (somewhat) conservative or spewing out conservative rhetoric. I don’t mean it…..well, at least not 100%.

Thanks for the compliment, E. Peevie. And, as for the unsolicited advice: I’m way ahead of you. Clearly, you didn’t read my (embarrassingly graphic in retrospect) tale of my vasectomy.

DaddyS–Loved your comment on Dooce, so thought I’d drop by. This was a great post, especially your “piss and moan” sentence. My kids are 2nd, 5th and 8th grade, and the Witching Hours (4-8) are still painful periods of impatient, crabby parenting with an occasional moment of grace tossed in.

My unsolicited advice? Don’t have a third child.

P: Damn straight.

Michelle: I do!

Julie: Wait, you carpool *other people’s kids* too? My hands are plenty full with my own two, thank you. But, yes, I bet there are some funny conversations to eavesdrop on.

Jane: Triplets, a 14-month-old, triathlon training and blogging? You’re a fiction writer, right? Who is this, really?

That sounds a lot like my life.

We’ve got three-year-old triplets that just started 5-day a week Montessori (for 3 hours a day), a 14-month old that my husband and I juggle our careers so that we can stay home with, and we are both planning to compete in our second triathlon(s) within the next month. And then … there’s the blog. And then … there’s grocery shopping and food preparation. And then … there’s laundry. And then … there’s marital bliss.

In no particular order, of course.

Wow, for a creepy second there, I thought you were eavesdropping on my life and writing about it! This sounds so much like our routine, our son also started K this year, and our 3yr old daughter started daycare. I get to carpooll other kids on my way to work, and I love it because they have the funniest conversations in the car. They seem to forget there is an adult in the car as well!

Well, as long as you know how good you have it.
