Father's Day Weekend
Saturday I woke up on my own around 8, even beating Katie who is normally my alarm on weekends. She got up about a half hour later, and after some breakfast, begged me to take her to the park like she does every day. I brushed my hair and got her in some clean clothes and we went to the park for the morning. She likes to spend most of her time ( Read more... ) -
The People Downstairs
I'm not one to judge people before truly getting to know them, but thus far, I've been less than impressed with the people on the bottom floor of this duplex we've moved into. To start with, it's a couple, a young man and woman, who own a dog. I don't think they're married, not that it's relevent, I just want to clarify that I'm not calling them ( Read more... ) -
I guess I'll make an update.
So here's my update: Two weeks ago, we moved into a duplex (two-family house). It has a backyard, is out of the downtown district, is QUIET (except when the people downstairs decide to have friends over) and is in a much nicer section of town ( Read more... ) -
Another recruiter interview... or two.
I was contacted by a recruiter in Manchester earlier this week. He was looking for someone to fill a contract-to-hire position at a company in Portsmouth, NH. After talking with him on the phone, he said what I always dread, "I'd like us to meet up and talk about this face-to-face. Can you get to Manchester?" Yes. Yes, I can get to Manchester ( Read more... ) -
Follow the thought pattern
Melissa put on Annie for Katie to watch, because apparently it was her favorite movie when she was little. I went to look up who played Annie and found that the movie was directed by John Huston. Looking at John Huston's liste of credentials, I found that in the movie The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean, he played a character named Grizzly Adams ( Read more... ) -
Something to be proud of
Melissa decided that this week, during her February break, she is going to potty train Katie. She bought little training pants for her, and we have a toilet seat that goes over the normal seat for her to sit on. The plan was to take her to the potty every hour in hopes that she pees in it. She has been surprising us though ( Read more... ) -
Deceived!
Tonight around 10:45, Katie began to cry from her room. This has become an unfortunately common thing recently, after her bout with RSV left her sleep schedule all awhack. I waited a bit to see if she'd give up, but she kept calling "Daddy! Daddy!" so I went in to check on her. In the dark, I could hear her but not see her and it seemed that ( Read more... ) -
I sense a disturbance in the force...
Between our bedroom and Katie's bedroom, there is an air filter. In each of our bedrooms is a humidifier. What all these machines do is emit a whirring white noise that keeps out most of the sounds of the downtown section of Haverhill, as well as noises from our neighbors. What they also do is make it so that Katie isn't kept awake by the music ( Read more... )
