Coffee is gone, Nightfall comes
Well, Monday is over with and as usual fast and furious. I was able to get some things done today at work. One of the conference calls was changed to Wednesday so that bought me another hour today.
After work, I was able talk to my wife a bit. She is overwhelmed. She is working for 3 lawyers, PTA president (trying to organize a previous non-organized unit ), and our kids school activities along with the kids antics and therapy, ect. Not to mention secretary for her Aunt's Nursing stuff. I listened and offered my services in anyway possible but there is not much I can to assist in alot of these. I am hoping things will get calmer if not more manageable before long.
I finished getting supper ready and ran to my Chiropracter while the kids and wife came back in from their running. The doc told me he didn't have to work to much this time and my 2 times a week will be cut to once a week after next week. Which is good for me. So it must be getting better. Again, I never put much faith in these guys but I must admit my wrist haven't hurted since I started and I felt better. Oh well, whatever works, right?
Kids already ate and finished their homework when I returned home. PreK and 1st grade having 30 minutes of homework, geez. And it's only the second week.
It was suggested to have our son do at least 30 minutes of excercise in the evenings to get him on a better schedule. OK so I grabbed a timer and told the kids we are going to do some excercises before their showers tonight. "Excercise with Dad, wow". They were excited. I started to set the timer for 30 minutes but my wife said let's start them at 10-15. "OK" I figured for them to get into it. So my wife was frantically trying to catch up on the computer while I get the kiddos in the living room to excercise for 10 minutes. We start out with situps, 10 of them, then some waist excercises then bicycling. "OK kids, lets do some excercises." "Yeah!" they cried joyfully. "one, twooo, threeee, (grunt) fourrrr, fiivvvveee, no Braden like this (that bought me some breathing as I instructed my 5 year old), siiiiixxxxxxx, (more grunts), ssssseeeevvveeennnn, (turning red), eeeeiiggghhhtttt (turning to bob the tomatoe from the veggie tales), nnniiiinnneeee, ten (long sigh). Dad's out of shape kids." Of course during this my 5 year old son is flopping like a fish out of water and my 6 year old daughter is knocking them out like a piston. We manageed to finish it of with some head-waist-toes and 10 minutes came in quick. "Whew, ok kids let's get your showers done."
Anyway, after showers I was able to read some books to them and they are eating their snacks watching tv now. My poor wife is on the phone trying to decipher her R.N. Aunts notes, ect.
Web Update:I found a little script called "chatango" and added it to my blog. Suppose allow online chat if both parties are on the page at the same time. I will try to setup a date/time to chat online. Anyone have any preference let me know.
