Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
My time outside of work is relatively free.
It's kids, man! They eat up all the time.

Well, hopefully as the kids get older and are better able to take care of and entertain themselves you'll have more time to take care of you!
One of the things I love now is telling my daughter to just go take a shower. A few years ago baths were actual work. My son is almost there, sometimes he needs help with his hair. Sometimes my wife will take care of that though. Bath time has become much, much easier.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Heh. What a pretty kitty!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Oh lisa, that is cool. I am going to see how much my daily commute really is. If I beef up my walking pace I might make baby steps on this "in shape" thing without adding anything new to my schedule.
Gud - That really does sound like a rough schedule. I hope the kids help out more and more with their stuff. Reminds me that I need to start laying the ground work this summer for mac to make his own lunches/snacks starting next year, and his laundry duties start next year too - good times.

It's kids, man! They eat up all the time.
But they are a lot of fun too. Certainly they make life more interesting.

And a good thing, too -- otherwise, they'd all get kicked out!

Yeah, we should get the kids to do more. Maybe once they are out of school we can get it going. My daughter will sometimes do laundry or sweep the kitchen floor without even being asked. My son, on the other hand, needs lots of supervision.

Oh, wow, that enlighted designs, inc. is run by someone I know from college. I heard she was starting a business integrating clothing and leds a few years ago, that's great that she's found some success!
