This is a sad and
funny post. Last year when we were preparing to travel with Lisa to Utah for
thanksgiving we decided that it would be a good idea to buy a tablet so she
could be entertained during our flights. Up until that point I had been very
good at not letting her watch any TV whatsoever so I didn’t know what kind of
shows or activities were appropriate for her. Mike decided that Curious George
would be fine and he downloaded some episodes in the tablet. Ever since we did
that Lisa has been obsessed with Curious George and to be honest I can actually
tolerate him for a long time.
This semester Mike’s
boss decided that it would be a good idea to have somebody from the facility’s
administration to be on campus at 6 am to supervise the members of the crew
working those hours. Now I don’t know what got into him but Mike decided to
volunteer. He says that the other two administrators were super happy. One of
them said that he couldn’t have done it because his kids are in school and he
helps around the house in the morning. The other said he had done it before and
found that he was only working way more hours. Supposedly Mike warned them that
if he wasn’t gone by 4pm he would be cranky. When he came home and told me I
was very upset. I know Mike; he is a work martyr. The more he works the better.
It is not acceptable to work a regular 8 hour schedule. He says he HAS to work
at least 9 hours plus an hour for lunch he says. At that time I was ready to
take my road test and get that over with once and for all. I have been taking
the car to run errands and I know that is wreck less and I am endangering
myself and others. In my defense I just go to the gym two or three blocks away and
the supermarket close by. I was super excited because with a license I can just
drop Mike off at the train station and pick him up in the afternoon
night. When he decided to go to work at 6 my plans were crushed. The train
starts working at 5:40 and there is no way he can make it to work on time. He
still promised to be home early enough so I could go out and do whatever I
wanted (grocery shopping, gym, visiting teaching, or just take time away from
the kids) but that hasn’t happened.
So the point of the
story is that Mike still works pretty much all day. This semester he is going
to school Tuesdays and Wednesdays so he doesn’t see Lisa from Monday night
until Thursday night and as a result…The Man with the Yellow Hat is daddy.
According to Lisa, anyway.
No pictures guys sorry…oh
wait. Maybe I can find one of daddy
Here it is
Now for real, I love this picture
That is funny and sad. Tell mike it is time to buy you your own car.
