Since Liam has been in daycare, he's been sick. He's even spent a week in the hospital.

This makes me think that if someone is on the fence about having kids, unsure of what they are in for,  they should go visit a children's hospital waiting room in flu season. It's a real treat...

I had been studying (off and on) for two weeks to pass a test for my boat license. I did the job and got 92%.  I am not an "A" student and was pretty happy about passing and passing with pretty good results. Danger decided that the trip that we had planned to a restraunt (a big enough deal since Liam makes the prospects of dining out a crap shoot) into a celebration dinner.  Eric was on his way so he came along.  

The food was great.  It was Korean beef BBQ.  The meat was kind of scattered with sea salt and when the first bits went on the grill, a bit like bacon, it spat and fired a small rock (a big grain) of sea-salt off my eye ball. 

Todays agenda: teach classes, pick up Liam at daycare, pick up my Koeran translator (ie. my wife, Danger), go to eye doctor, walk around for the rest of the weekend with an eye patch.

Busy Days

I did the job of staying at home.  I entered zero posts in that time. I am back to the job.  During the time that I was exclusively parenting, I didn't find time to reflect in my spare time.  If that kid was sleeping (ie. the only time you get a moment to yourself) is used that time to either sleep or clean with out the kid from undoing everything from behind me or watch motorsports or watch movies (since babies don't take well to guns and blood and sex and all that good movie stuff)

Summary-->
       I didn't make friends with the other parents since the Korean women are too conservative to get buddy-buddy with a strange man. There was a group of moms that were really friendly and fun, but turned to be a cult-y church group.  I told them not to talk to me about their church anymore and they disappeared. 

I did get a good understanding of my son and he of me.  That is not to say that we are best of buds, but in times of conflict we have a calm, clear understanding of one another.  We enjoy our pleasant time together more for it and the angry times are shorter and more productive since we understand each other well.

Any father should stay-at-home (sic).  If you are taking the time to expend all the energy and emotion of parenting, you should learn the full picture of your child's world by being a full-time care-giver
