It has been a while since I wrote anything. But my wife is the writer not me. But anyway, enough of the excuses. My wife and I seem to be going through the issue of trying to get our child(demon spawn) to behave. Yesterday was a very hard day. Our son is.... a lot of work. My wife recently watch the 1-2-3 Magic video which is supposed to instruct parents how to coerce your children o behave. I have yet to watch it. One thing of interest: We found that Xander behaves really well (relatively speaking) in a busy noisy environment. We took him to an Irish celebration party at Lansdown place on Saturday and he did pretty well. Ran around, played, etc. I guess our son just needs to be in a loud environment with a bunch of drunk irish. Huh.. Funny that... That is where I feel the most comfortable too! Humm

Today is St-Patty's Day! Cheers!

I must say, what is up with being expected to operate a fast moving vehicle, develop software for big successful companies and do all this with no sleep?

This seems to be my life today and actually for most of the last two and a half years. It's been better lately but damn! Today I find myself experiencing one of these days! Our son Xander has been as of the last couple of weeks sleeping in a toddler bed. We lucked out in keeping him in a crib until he was about 2 1/2. Pretty good really! We got to sleep in quite a lot in the last couple of years. I think it makes up for the having to get up in the middle of the night repeatedly. But now we can only sleep until he wakes up! :( Oh well, he has been sleeping through the night since moving him to the toddler bed but just not last night and the night before and the night before but most of the time he is good.

So, what do we do? Drink lots of coffee and keep going. I guess that is why you need to take lots of pictures eh? So, you can look back and say... "I guess we did this?, huh [scratch head], don't remember that..."

Found this on the web... Coffee Experiment

In an attempt to survive the workday, I thought I would attempt to begin using my blog one more time! This time I think it will have staying power. So, what is new with my life? Hummmm.. well lets see... We will start with today. No sense in looking at the last few days, months or years since if I did so, I would be writing and never finish.

So, what is new today? Got my employee review today! That is new. I did well. Should reflect in a good raise which in turn should help me finance this crazy expensive thing we call a wife and family. What was I thinking? When you have a house, wife, children, 2 dogs, etc, it is like living back in university! I mean, I have no money! But worse yet is that you have no time to yourself either! Forget trying to sleep in or take an evening and just listen to music. But, don't get me wrong, there are some great times.

In other news, Jenny was laid off today from her job at TrueContext. So, now her and myself have both been laid off from that company. Jenny has been proactive and has two jobs already! Way to go Jenny!
