Preschool Helper
Kayleigh was the star today so I got to bring a snack and be the parent helper. I managed to get this during table time.
New Tires
I bought new tires for the old Accord this past summer. It is my understanding that doing so makes my car invincible against snowy conditions. This morning as I was shoveling the driveway my neighbor left our snowy subdivision in a Toyota Prius... that pretty much killed any thought of skipping work due to road conditions. The irony here is that halfway to work I received a call saying I could decide to stay home because of snowy subdivisions. Rats.
Today I am excited about what Wednesday holds, and that is I get to be a room dad with my daughter in her Mandarin classes. I don't even speak enough Chinese to order dinner but I get to spend time with her and that is something that she has desperately been asking for. We've been so busy as a family that daddy daughter time is few and far between - or we do so many fun things with the entire family that singling out even one kid to do something with would seem like too much fun.
Tonight I read some more from The Dream Manager by Matthew Kelly. It is a good book and asks the simple question of people "What are your dreams?" It seems like a simple question but I wouldn't know how to answer it right now with sincere opinions. I guess I have something to think about. I do know that I want to be financially worry free. I'm not exactly sure what that means, I just don't want to have to think about money on a daily basis. That is all.
Sunday Snow Day
Today we got some snow. Lots of snow. I used my snow blower twice today and that was fun... I'd say there is a wall of about a foot or more down the driveway. We almost got stuck out in front of our house on the way to church (as I type this Kristi and I are discussing how slow my 3yo son's iPhone 4S is.) anyway we were some of the few and proud that made it to church today. On the way home we stopped at Panera and I noticed that there were quite a few elderly folk who had braved the weather and they were all wearing their Sunday best. Young folk such as myself were few and far between. At work the other day I heard people joking that when the weather gets nasty the young people skip church and the older people who shouldn't be driving in the first place still manage to make it.
Well at any rate today was a decent day and I even managed a late night trip to Meijer in the snow just to say I did it. I almost got stuck in front of the house. Again. I have no picture today, just random thoughts. Good night.
