Wet Snow, Cranky 2yo and a Long Day

Well Mondays are always interesting even as a work at home dad. With Mom going back to work and 6yo going back to school the start of the week is always busy. 2yo and I have a parent and tot class called “Super Tots” which gets us out and allows him to play with a bunch of other children. It has been snowing quite a bit the past few days and it has been a heavy wet snow that has the consistency of MUD!! On the way to class the roads were a little slick as the snow fell. After class 2yo was really cranky and refused to nap, yet he complained about everything. He finally got so tired that he could no longer resist the nap. While he napped I worked out, cleaned up and got some work done. then it was time to pick 6yo up from his after school Spanish Class. It is really nice the school has the program available and he really enjoys it. Normally Mom picks him up, but she was stuck in a meeting and the continuing snowfall would make her drive home a little longer. After we got home the boys and I played in the snow and shoveled off the driveway… More shoveling and my sore elbow, not the best. I did avoid using my arm the best I could, but it was rather difficult. Too little and too wet snow for my to use the snowblower…

  1. Spanish for kids - We have our 6yo in an after school Spanish program which he really enjoys. I actually met his teacher for this session today and he said 6yo was doing very well and wished all the students would be as well behaved and worked as hard as he does. PROUD PAPPA!!!
  2. 24 Season 4 - Just finished 24 Season 4 on DVD. I really enjoyed this season and liked how it all played out. So far it has been getting better as the show goes. Now for season 5. I typically have dvd’s playing while I spend a ton of time running reports and printing large documents. I was so busy last week that I was able to get through most of it in a few days.
  3. Piles of Broken Toys - Well I have fixed so many toys since my 2yo became active. The 6yo takes such good care of his stuff that I really only had to repair a few items here and there. However 2yo is extremely destructive and I have fixed more toys in a week then I did in 4 years with the 6yo. So now I have a constant pile of broken toys that both boys want fixed. It is hard to draw the line between fixing and putting them out of their misery.
  4. Chicago Elections- Vote Early and Vote Often.
  5. Oscars- Who really cares??? I don’t!!!
