Adventures Of A Stay At Home Dad

Just trying to balance two little boys and my sanity . . .

I should do this more often

Posted on September 24, 2007 in the Ranting category

My wife doesn’t work a normal Monday - Friday week, she works Tuesday - Saturday and gets Sunday, Monday off. Originally done so as to match my work schedule when I had a normal job (that is before I quit and started my own home business). It has been convenient having a weekday off which allows us to get several things accomplished that normally cannot be done on a weekend. Problem is that it usually means that Monday’s are chock full of appointments so its not very relaxing.

Right now, however, we are at home (of course after a long day of running around) and decided to hang out outside, let the boys play, and get some yard work done on what is likely to be one of the last nice days of the year. Well, I should say that she is getting the yard work done while I am on the laptop in the back yard. I wish I could do this more often - the kids are having fun and I am actually able to get something accomplished which, if you are a fellow work at home mom or dad, you can appreciate how difficult this task is on most days. On top of that, its such a great day out - this time of year in New England is awesome. The humidity is gone, the days are warm, and the bugs are almost non existent. Its funny - I still find it strange that I am able to use my laptop and be on the Internet while outside . . .
