Sickout

I'm beginning to think the universe doesn't want me to do this part-time work/part-time dad thing. First, the frigid weather on my first day at the bus stop. Now, my two-year-old, who is never sick, gets sick on a day that he should be at child care and I should be in the office. It's ironic in my first week of this. All in all, no big deal. I'll do a meeting by phone this afternoon. I got into the work network remotely and did one time-sensitive task. I got to have cuddly little guy on my lap this morning. I think it's a reminder to be flexible in all things. I'm gonna roll with the punches.

Welcome to the stay-at-home world. I've been doing it for a year and have worked out most of the kinks. Rolling with the punches is a good tactic, but don't be surprised if you get angry with your son when he frustrates your work plans.

Good luck man, and thanks for stopping by my blog.
