It’s a beautiful Saturday. I’d love to play with the children. In 3 hours I have to spend 4 hours helping Noah sell popcorn. I need to prepare dinner, work in the yard, work on the house, work on client projects, work on personal coding projects, and…ugh.
Day: October 14, 2006
Self-esteem – don’t look to the ads
We should show this to our children, repeatedly.
13 and not firing on all cyclinders
My daughter has stuck a note for her mother directly on the screen of her monitor with duct tape! Guess I won’t be getting her an LCD panel monitor anytimes soon. I also can’t convince her that her WordPress blog is far better and more powerful than her Xanga blog. At least she improved the appearance of her Xanga a little.
Waking on the numbers
I woke this morning at 4:44. I love doing that! Of course, we are limited to 5 (technically 10) opportunites to wake when the digital clock reads all the same numbers. The day I wake to 6:66 I’m hiding under the covers! (And yes, I know, I really should be more concerned about waking at 6:16)
Frustrating but nice
I love my children. Evan’s "DadaA! hahaha"s are particularly nice. But the responsibilities of adulthood are often fraught with conflict. I have a phone interview in an hour and 15 minutes. I desperately wanted to get an introductory email to the company but have been unable to compose it. I wanted to take the two hours prior to the phone call to calm myself, review my resume, and prepare. Cathy is not feeling well this morning so instead of preparing myself, I am doing the right thing and letting her rest while I watch the children. Honestly, I do not need to prepare for an interview but my wife needs to feel better.
