positve and negative

The positive with work is that you can steal 5 minutes and post the negative right now is the the office building I am sitting in didn't come with the air option, so we don't have any air. I wonder if I can buy a can of air. I saw a movie once where they had air in a can, or maybe it was a book I read. That is what I need right now a big can of Air, and not the light stuff either.

1st day

up early, brushed my teeth and combed my hair. Here I am back at work. 15 minutes to my first meeting. Not a whole lot to do just yet, but here comes the boss. It is going to be interesting to see how quickly I can get in gear. Right now I feel like the new guy at work, hell I couldn't even find the copying machine.

hows the weather

I have always wondered at the great lengths family will go to discuss the weather. I don't talk to my family as often as I feel is the "right and proper" amount. Maybe all this weather talk is a way of saying how are you in code. You know if I answer "it is raining not much going on" then it is piss, but if I say "it is raining, but we were out hopping in puddles and making a big old mess" then life is good. :) I am on my way to pick up the boys. I think we will go and hop in some puddles. How is the weather there?

not as planned

Charlie cries when I leave him at daycare... and Dylan is home sick. I was planning on getting a bunch of stuff done today, It probably won't be that way now. With Dylan home it limits how much other stuff I can do.

I found a course in guitar building, it seems really cool. It costs a lot, but can definitely be put on the 10 year to do list. Imagine playing on a guitar that you built. What a cool experience.

My brain stopped.

count down

Tomorrow is Monday and the beginning of the end. This is the last week I will be home with the boys on paternity leave an entire week. The week after that it is back to work for me, it is a huge change, because from that point forward that is how life will be for quite a long time. We are not going to have anymore kids. Our 2 are enough for us. A lot of my friends are having kids right now, some their first and some their second and even some their 3rd, congratulations and good luck. May the force be with you :) I wish that all countries had paternity leave like Sweden. I think the world would be a better place. Fathers would be closer to their kids, have more respect for the mothers and have more faith in themselves. If you don't believe me you have to try it, you can't just take my word for it.

luxury problems

I have received a clean bill of health and am with that reduced to only having luxury problems. Luxury problems by my definition are about 95% of the problems we have in life. At least in the western world. Sickness = problem, lack of money to buy a new guitar = luxury problem. If you find yourself feeling a little sorry for yourself. Look at the cause. The problem and then put it in a category. Problem or Luxury problem. Try to be honest with yourself. This really does help to put perspective on things. Now I am going out into the sun to enjoy a luxury problem. Renovating our deck...

killing time

Why is it that the more stuff I have to do, the faster time goes... it just runs right out of my hands and I get practically nothing done. Here I sit with 5 other things I should be doing, and I am writing here. No where on my to do list does it say write on the blog. Not one of the action points. Maybe I should just take a nap :)

I will be starting work again very soon. This is going to be strange for me. I have a certain number of goals with going back to work. I am very afraid that I won't meet any of them. I have a wonderful habit of sharing my goals, visions, idea's with friends and complete strangers. In some way that seems to be equal with accomplishment for me. Not actually doing it, but telling someone that I had the idea.

#2 is down at daycare with Jonna, She is taking the schooling in process today. That way when it is her turn to drop the boys off it won't be a complete mess for her. That is the plan at least. #1 is really easy when it comes to daycare, I think he really likes it there. #2 is going to like it I am sure, but I don't know how the drop offs are going to go..

Well off to the day. Laundry to do, lunch, snack and dinner to make, a slide being delivered. Lots of stuff..

may

Well now May has started. This is going to be a turbulent month to say the least. There is a ton of stuff going on, and a lot of it really important.

Every 6 months I get a reminder. I big note telling me that life hasn't gone as planned. At least not as I planned it. May is one of those months. One of those months where I and a lot of people around me just have to cope and survive. Then sometimes even in May you have a really good day and you can forget about it all. Ok, maybe not forget about it, but at least push it so far down under the radar that it doesn't blip as hard.

Lets make it through May and see how we are doing ok?

anyway.. today was a good day.
