Hi I’m Mario,
I am just an average guy trying to figure out this dad thing. I have been married to my beautiful & loving wife for 7 years and am a proud father of two boys ages 7 and 2.
This Dad Thing is a blog for those dads who are just trying to figure it out. My hope is to touch on a variety of topics that range from the obvious dad stuff and all the way to marriage, homeowner pride, DIY, geek stuff & things that grind my gears.
How Normal Am I?
Well, I guess it depends who you ask, but here is my top 10 checklist.
- I was born and raised in Fresno, Ca and moved down to Texas for a girl I was dating in high school. SPOILER ALERT – It didn’t work out.
- My dad put me to work at a young age – I was out raking the yard and mowing my neighbors for cash before I was 10.
- I have had 9+ jobs that I can remember. My first official job was working at a plant nursery, second job was a bag boy at a grocery store, than I delivered mattresses & furniture, became a personal banker and the list goes on
- I like beer & coffee
- My wife drives me crazy sometimes but I love her to death!
- My kids drive me crazy all the time but I love them to death!
- I cringe when I see weeds in my lawn
- Bring on the action flicks!
- I want to be rich someday
- I just want the best for my kids and sometimes I don’t know if I am doing it right
