Leap of Faith on the Lake Erie Shore

[The Wifey]

Neil,

Pick up that butt and do it right now! Ok - now I can aim the 2x4 better.

I think lunch needs to be all ready when she gets there and you need to have plates out, including one for her. Don't make a big deal about it, after all its just lunch. And that is how you need to come across.

"You are here already and we are ready to eat." Do not feed the D's before she gets there. You make her wait while they eat if she says she's not eating with you. At that point she will just look silly. She just might break down and eat something.

If she does sit down and eat you are just happy to have spent the morning with the girls and you can tell her about something sweet they did. Keep the conversation on how much you enjoyed the girls that morning.

Trust me on this, Neil. I know what I'm talking about. Women love their children, and we love Dad's that love them. She will admire you as a person and as a Dad.

Now, Whack, Whack, and Whack.
