A New Routine

I don’t have anything too profound to say. Work is back in full swing, and we’re all still settling into our new routine.

In the morning we wake up at 5:50 a.m., and lucky for us the boy is sleeping through the night (and then some). We manage to eat breakfast and get ourselves all ready while he naps in his crib without a care in the world. Once I’m ready at about 6:45 a.m. I wake up Luke, and feed him his morning bottle. After that it’s a clothes change, fresh diaper, and then off to the sitter. I leave the house at 7 a.m., and I’m at work usually by 7:25 a.m. Phew! Stacie picks him up in the afternoon, and we’re usually all home by around 4 p.m.

Work is good, though it will be even better once we get those first paychecks.

Luke new routine, sleep

Glad to read you’re all adjusting well to the work routine.

Amen on the paychecks!

Here’s the routine in 5 years.

Wake up to chorus of “Daddy, make me breakfast!” somewhere between 5:30-6.

Make waffles, one with only butter and one with only syrup. It’s the end of the world if done any other way.

Kiss wife and wish each other luck as she walks out the door.

Throw kid #1 in the shower

Yell at kid #2 to quit running around the house sans clothes.

Yell at kid #1 to quit running around the house with kid #2′s clothes.

Brush kid #2′s hair.

Explain to kid #1 why we should really wear two shoes that match and also why we really don’t need THAT much hair gel.

Yell at kid #2 to put the clothes back on that you just put on her.

Ask kid #1 if his backpack and homework are ready, then explain to him that lying to me the day before about finishing the homework is bad.

Hold kid #2 down and force clothes on her.

Check toothbrushes for use.

Make lunch for Kid #1

Wash peanut butter of kid #2 and wonder where she got peanut butter

Head out the front door

Climb through window after locking your keys in the house.

Head out the front door

Walk to school

Explain to kid #1 that even though kid #2 is wearing mismatched shoes, it is still not OK.

Tell kid #2 to quit lifting her skirt, especially since she did not put panties on… again.

Drop kid #1 off at the school gate.

Try not to scream when kid #1 asks where his lunch is

walk home

get lunch

walk to school

Listen to school secretary lecture about the importance of good lunches

Jog home chanting “Hold it, hold it, hold it.” to kid #2

hope nobody is watching when she decides to not hold it anymore

mutter “at least she didn’t get her panties wet.”

Put kid #2 in the bath.

Forget it all when kid #2 says “Daddy, I love you so much”

no, every day is full of new surprises, but most days do include yelling at Holly to put clothes on. She’s a young exhibitionist.

Rove was wrong about the other guy, and O’Reily is wrong a lot.

I did like the Sarah Palin excerpt at the end, it’s just sad that Jon Stewart is such a joke he can’t even acknowledge it.

Did you see the SNL skit portraying Palin and Hilary Clinton? It was funny, but made both women look bad.

No, don’t catch SNL very often lately. I’ll have to look for it on youtube.

It’s all over youtube and probably up on hulu by now because I’m sure NBC’s VERY proud something was able to bring them high SNL ratings, even if only until Phelps started his monologue!

I just can’t watch SNL at all anymore, it’s just painfully unfunny. In fact, the only times in the last 4+ years I WILL watch the show is if I know of a band I want to see will be on and I DVR and skip through.

Over the past 10 years it’s grown increasingly lame / not creative and seems to be content with obvious / cliche humor and is fixated on bashing the RIGHT at all costs.

I’ve correlated this downfall with the infusion of Tina Fey as the head writer. Then when she left somehow the show was able to get worse. The few moderately amusing moments have come from the “shorts” which are designed to be viral.

Regarding Her (Tina’s) impression it’s exactly what EVERYONE wanted to see. She looked like Palin, had an accent similar to Palin and delivered many of jokes people wanted to hear. I despise obvious humor and especially humor demanded by pop culture.

At least with the LEFTIST The Daily Show / Colbert Report they are staffed with clever writers and are able to continue to produce more fresh and funny LEFT slant comedy.

The slant on Conan is getting noticeable. Monday night they did a bit making fun of what celebrities/politicians are Googling. Jokes about Bristol Palin, Bush and McCain. One about Hillary and even that was about her pant suits and nothing personal. Oddly Obama and Biden were excluded from ridicule. On second thought, I don’t think I’ve heard a single joke about Obama on Conan. Leftist TV decided early on to leave Obama alone and Hillary is the preferred liberal target now that she’s not in the running.

And even the Digital Shorts that have been propping up SNL up for the past couple seasons was a complete failure this week.
