As many of you know, mom has been working her tail off the past couple weeks trying to get year end complete. Our schedule has been altered a bit as I have been picking up the kids most evenings so that she can get a few more things done before wrapping up for the day.
Just to fill you in, our normal arrangement for the past couple years has been that I drop the kids off at school in the morning and Kelly would pick them up in the evening. She always has a few choice words for their demeanor after picking them up but I have not really had the opportunity to appreciate what that experience was like until now. I would liken it to having two starving leaches latch onto you and thoroughly try and suck what little life you have left in you after a hard days work. It's a tough role and I have to give mom credit for not making a bigger deal about it.
Tonight however, I have triumphed. They are both quietly sitting on the couch enjoying a nutritious hot dog and enjoying a politically incorret Looney Tunes episide. I am such a good parent...sitting down and writing this quick blurb has been the most appreciated 20 minutes of this beautiful day.
