My wife and her mom had the opportunity to do a Spa overnight (courtesy of her father's business trip) and since I'm not working I volunteered to watch the kids. I figured I can do anything for 24 hours. Well, I'm now 20 hours into this adventure.....and I'm not so sure of my Mr. Mom skills.
It's not that I've done anything majorly wrong, like leaving the kid at the store or letting them run with scissors. I just didn't realize how much attention goes into the job. At least when co-workers scream, I can ignore them (ha ha).
I'm not sure how to fit this in, but during the last diaper change, my son pee'd on me. Sweet. I know there is a first for everything, but after 3+ months, he decides to do it when I'm playing Mr. Mom. Timing....
Speaking of timing, the latest on my job search is that it's taken a back seat yesterday and today - at least until I'm relieved of my Mr. Mom duty. I had visions of grandeur of sending my daughter to school and hitting the search hard. Then my son cried. Then it was time to feed him. Then I had to change his diaper. Then I had to get ready for picking up more formula and then my daughter from school. Then it was play time with my daughter and son. Then a feeding and another diaper change. Next thing I knew, it was 10pm.
While I may lose a day or two in the job search, I'm now much, much more motivated to get back into the work force. - where there are no diaper changes, no feedings, and co-workers that I can ignore (again, ha ha).
Here's another Office Space snippet, well, because Office Space is genius.
And, finally, the last one - this is a re-deux that is brilliant.
Cool site of the day: Trade Vibes (special thanks to "Q" for this one)
