3commentsWhy I like getting up at 2am February 21, 2008 8:31 am
Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Cathy, Daily Life, Family, Of Being DadBetween 2am and 6am I can knock out a bunch of work! No phones ring. Even the dogs don’t need walking. Since I got up at 2am and have been diligent in my work, when Cathy woke with a migraine this morning, I was able to send her back to bed and move my work upstairs. Being upstairs with one eye on the children and one eye on the screen slows me down a little but conceptually I could take 4 hours off (realistically I need to keep pounding keys hard and fast) but the stress is off. I don’t think I could do this from an office.

Your children will never hear anything you say February 18, 2008 1:33 pm
Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Daily Life, Family, From the mouths of babes, Of Being DadMy children just learned hot things melt plastic. Gee. Where have I heard that before?
They also now know that popcorn was not always made in the microwave.
Tommy: "Why wouldn’t you just use a microwave?"
Mom, not answering to avoid saying: "Because I’m old enough to remember when microwaves didn’t exist!"

Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Daily Life, PetsThe smell of skunk has leaked into the house so badly that my eyes are wanting to water. There must have been one on the driveway and it either sprayed our outdoor cat or the neighbor’s dogs. Whatever happened, it wasn’t far away! I need new windows and doors!
