Hannah Montana

What a subject to blog about. Hannah Montana! Who would have thought that The Daddy Diary would ever blog about Hannah Montana? Well, here it goes. My daughter absolutely LOVES Hannah Montana. She sings "The Best of Both Worlds" everyday in the car on the way to school. We watch Hannah Montana EVERY Saturday morning. I think Miley Cyrus has even replaced such legonds as Arthur, Dora and yes, even the Wiggles!!! Since we are crazy in Illinois, and my school has Lincoln's Birthday off, I was going to take her to see the Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus movie today, however, six inches(and counting) of snow has postponed that. I think Saturday would be a good day for this Daddy to make his little girls day and take her to see the movie. I don't believe that I just admitted to the world that I am going to see the Hannah Montana movie!?!? Please DON'T tell your friends:-)

Bad Driver

On Friday, we had so much snow that my agency sent out pages to everyone that all of our offices and schools would be closed for the day due to weather. ROCK ON!!!! After I finished snowblowing the 12 inches of snow and spending some quality family time, I decided to brave the roads and go to one of my favorite stores, T.J. MAXX. I asked my daughter if she wanted to come with me, but she informed me that she was going to stay home with mommy:-( I love taking her shopping with me because she is GOOD at spending my money. I was about 5 minutes away from home when my cell phone rang. My wife informed me that our daughter has been crying hysterically since I left because she decided she wanted to go with me. Being the nice wife that she is, she told me to keep going and not worry about it. Being the daddy that I am, of course I turned the car right around. When I got back home, my daughter was so excited to see me. She was all ready to go. I came into the house when my daughter asked my wife if she wanted to go. After thinking about it for a while, my wife said sure. The topper to this story was that I had taken my wife's VUE instead of my car. When we were getting ready to walk out the door, my wife asked me if I wanted her to drive? Being the guy, of course i said "No, I'm okay." When without ever thinking, my daughter pipes up with, " Noooooooo daddy, you don't drive. Mommy drives mommys car. Mommy is a better driver!?!" Are you kidding? How do you not laugh when a two year old tells you that!!
