Tonight I found another unseen perk of distributed work. Jen is no longer afraid to cut my hair, because really who will see me anyway. YAY free haircut!

Gardening
For a guy who doesn’t overly enjoy gardening, and isn’t very good at it, I seem to have dedicated a fair amount of time to it this weekend. It will be worth it though in the end. The waste resource management group here was giving away free compost yesterday. We took advantage and I wentContinue reading “Gardening”
Model train show
Today was dance recital day. Jen, Caile, and Ella were busy with that all day. Caile and Ella were only in the first half of the afternoon recital, so after the intermission Noah and I took off and went to check out a model train show that was setup today. Noah’s favourite was the LegoContinue reading “Model train show”
Easy to please
All the kids just arrived home from school so there were eleven of them in the kitchen eating snacks of homemade peanut butter chocolate chip cookies and apple slices. My youngest daughter Ella, who does not like peanut butter, asked this instead: Can I just have a couple chocolate chips and a slice of bread?
Little George Costanza
Noah had been in the washroom for a little while and was being quiet, so I went to check on him. He was in there with everything but his socks off sitting on the toilet. When I asked him why he was naked he said, sometimes I get really hot so I take my clothesContinue reading “Little George Costanza”

Backyard Wildlife
The view from my office window is great. Our backyard always has some critter running around out there it seems. There are lots of birds flying and singing. A few weeks back the big attractions was watching the squirrels sneaking around, climbing and jumping. We have deer who are semi regular visitors. As the cloverContinue reading “Backyard Wildlife”
Feeling better
After four days of feeling horrible and then two days of taking it pretty easy I think I’m finally getting back to myself. Losing 15lbs in four days, although needed, is not ideal. Today I actually ate some food and it felt good. Taking the kids to dance class did wear me back out quiteContinue reading “Feeling better”
Mother’s Day
Mother’s Day always reminds me of what I know everyday, I have three of the most amazing mothers in my life. My Mother in Law Linda. One of the most giving and selfless people I know. Always willing to do what ever she can to help out. Having her so close and everything she doesContinue reading “Mother’s Day”
Worst Weightloss Plan Ever
Although I’m sure it is highly effective, I would not recommend this weightloss technique to anyone. For the past three days I’ve been pretty much lying in bed feeling like garbage. Nothing I eat or drink stays with me for very long. It’s a horrible feeling. It’s the weekend and pretty nice weather but IContinue reading “Worst Weightloss Plan Ever”
