Year 3, Day 85

When parenting* during the workday, Jaclyn and I do our best to tag team. One of us (which, given the number of meetings I have on a given day, is usually me) sequesters ourself in another room while the other (which, sadly, is usually Jaclyn) sits at the dining table to work and care for … Continue reading Year 3, Day 85 →

Year 3, Day 76

I had to make a short trip to my workplace today to pick up a few supplies, and I thought it would also serve as a nice chance to get Miles out of the house (and out of his mother's hair) for a little while. As you might (or might not) know, I work with … Continue reading Year 3, Day 76 →

Year 3, Day 66

Full disclosure: managing two (relatively) full work weeks while taking care of Miles has been extraordinarily challenging. Jaclyn and I have done a fair job of tag teaming and offering relief when needed, but I will absolutely admit that, due to the number of meetings students I have in a given day, I am usually … Continue reading Year 3, Day 66 →

Year 3, Day 30

"Miles, are you ready for your meeting?" Moments later...

Year 2, Day 239

Miles made a rare appearance at my trivia show tonight, and unlike the first time he stopped by, he was much more excited this time around. He ran over and hugged me as soon as he entered Legion, and he was on the mic moments later.

Year 2, Day 233

When daddy finally gets home after a long day and discovers that it's very possible he'll be sleeping on the couch tonight.

Year 2, Day 218

I was at my primary job until 6:00 tonight, and with a trivia show beginning at 7:00, I wasn't planning on being able to go home or see Miles this evening. Fate*, however, had other plans, as I left some equipment at home and had to make a mad dash for it between gigs. The … Continue reading Year 2, Day 218 →

Year 2, Day 205

Jaclyn and Miles have both been a bit under the weather this week, so it was no surprise when both of them were still asleep this morning well beyond the point that any alarm clocks went off. Jaclyn agreed to take Miles to daycare later on, and I headed out the door. I tried to … Continue reading Year 2, Day 205 →

Year 2, Day 176

Summer is always the busiest time at work for me, and August always brings an additional level of "crunch time" with them. With this in mind, Jaclyn's been taking Miles to daycare in the morning and, on some days, even picking him up. While I can't deny that this is a big help for me … Continue reading Year 2, Day 176 →

Year 2, Day 136

Despite yesterday's post, Miles had little choice today other than to accept me as his sole provider and responsible party, as his mother was in Raleigh overnight for work. As we left daycare, I did my best to fill Miles in on the current situation. "Your mom isn't here tonight." "Memmo!" he immediately replied. I … Continue reading Year 2, Day 136 →
