Time to make dinner.
Day: June 16, 2004
Tommy with Friend
Tommy has gone to play at a friend’s house! He was so excited I thought he’d explode!
Boom!
Progress
Made contact with 2 recruiters, neither looking that optimistic.
Sent resume to one personal contact for a potential telecommuting position.

Meanie
I lost it and said unfair harsh words to my wife who has been fighting a migraine. End result is she’s back in bed in pain when we intended to have lunch together and I’m in charge of all the kids.
I’m going to cause us to lose everything!
For I Carry My Own Drum!
My life is such a wicked adventure. I am so overjoyed that I chose the path least traveled!
Political
This one is WORTH watching Salon’s ad for the free day pass Reagan blasts Bush
“And they told us, ‘Don’t worry about W. not knowing anything, good old Dick Cheney will be his minder.’ Dick Cheney? And this was going to be compassionate conservatism? Dick Cheney is to the right of Genghis Khan, he wants to drill in your backyard, he wants to deny black people their rights –it was all there in his voting record for us to see. What were we, rubes?”
Dark Cloud
The day is going to the crapper already. Late start. Mess of desk knocking things over. Fat fingering the keyboard and making idiotic mistakes. Too much white noise! Ring, hum, buzz. Why do monitors have to squeal? What’s up with that whine a television makes? Why can’t a CPU fan be silent? What’s up with that ringing in my ears when I put in ear plugs? Even light bulbs make noise!
From the Mouths of Babes
I gave Amy some dry cereal (Cookie Crisp if you call that cereal) and a cup of milk. She runs to the fridge and opens the door saying “Baby milk” and I say “you already have milk.” I close the fridge and she shakes her head back and forth saying “no no no” so I let her open the fridge, get the milk and she takes it to her bowl and cup. I ask “in here?” pointing to the cup and pour her some more. She says “milk cookies” so I concede and pour some milk in with her cereal and she becomes happy.
She’s a riot! This morning has been chatter chatter chatter. “My toy!” “Noah eat!” “alright alright” “hot hot hot” (when the tea kettle whistled) Dad says “No food on the couch” Amy replies “alright” and backs up. “What are you doing?” (to Noah) “My cereal” “Noooo oh”
Amy laid down to eat her cereal and I told her “you’ll spill it” and it spilled all over her. Fortunately I didn’t put that much milk in it. When I fixed her a new bowl she did a dance repeating over and over “Baby cereal” (that could be “Amy cereal”)
I took a quiz!
My inner child is sixteen years old!
Life’s not fair! It’s never been fair, but while
adults might just accept that, I know
something’s gotta change. And it’s gonna
change, just as soon as I become an adult and
get some power of my own.
How Old is Your Inner Child?

Greenplaits gets credit for encouraging me to take this quiz. I anticipate the dialog my wife has for me over my results.
Cathy nurses a migraine. Amy arises. Sarah sleep…

This Morning
Odd sleep last night. Woke at 4am but could not inspire myself out of bed. One day it will come! At 7am I was wishing Tommy didn’t have summer school.
