Specific

This morning I wanted to "sleep in". These days that means until 7am. I usually get up around 5:45am or 6:00am to get ready for work. This morning at around 6:30, our youngest began to cry and I went to check on her. She had wet herself in the crib and was cold so I cleaned her and changed her into some dry PJs and laid her back down. I turn around and my older two girls were staring at me.

"Morning, Daddy" they said in unison.

"Morning, babies." I replied. "I want you to get back into your bed until your nightlight shuts off." (It is one that turns itself off when there is enough light). I said this with the belief that I might actually get to sleep in later than 7am since it is now that time of the year where the sun rises later in the morning hours.

I was really tired and the warm comforter on the bed was still calling my name. I slid back under the covers and soon drifted off to sleep.

I awoke to the sound of laughter. Glancing at the clock it was 7:15am.

"Well I did get to sleep in" I thought to myself. I got up and went to check on all of the children. As I went down the hall, past the older two who were running around the couch in the den, I couldn't help but laugh. The blinds were wide open on both of their bedroom windows and letting in just enough light to turn their nightlight off for the day.

I shall in the future be more specific on my requests to my children.

Hi everyone out there. I'm sorry for not posting lately. I've been slammed at work and with side projects at SkuFlow. Free time has been very scarce for about 2 months straight but I think I'm seeing the light at the end of the tunnel and I will start to post again on a regular basis. Just to get back in the swing of posting i wanted to tell you about a very funny scene. As I said, work has just been insane. We moved into a new state-of-the-art design studio and redefined our company as a sleek efficient web studio. You can check out our new website at www.mediapulse.com. If you know of anyone needing a killer website, feel free to point them our direction. So last night I got home and after a long week of work I really didn't feel like cooking and neither did the Mrs. It was an IHOP night. With the economy getting tight we haven't eaten out as much so it was a real treat to go have some good pancakes and just relax and take a deep breath. While we were eating, this group of bikers showed up in full riding gear. They were really rough looking but really warm people having fun and laughing among themselves. One gentleman had a do-rag on his head which our eldest daughter noticed right off the bat.

"LOOK DADDY - A SHEPHERD! She said.

I have never seen a group of people laugh so hard. We also laughed pretty good.
