Life is what happens when you’re making other plans
by Jack GrantWow, it’s been almost a week since I posted anything at all, and well over a week since I wrote anything substantive. It’s amazing how time gets away from you when you’re no longer a single guy with only a cat to demand your attention.
It’s been about two and one-half months since we moved into our new house, and I still haven’t finished unpacking my boxes (my wife only has about 3 boxes left to unpack, but that’s a different story…), and I have four home improvement projects underway that are in various stages of completion. Unfortunately, two of them were delayed by the huge ice storm we have experienced (it’s tough to saw wood when your garage is full of boxes and it is freezing rain outside when you planned to saw apart MDF to make shelving in the driveway…).
Somehow, the responsibilities associated with having a family to take care of along with trying to keep current on my job (the “d” part of “research and development” has become CAPITALIZED lately at the expense of the “r” part… to my dismay, given I prefer the research over the development) have been sapping my mental energy more than I ever thought it would. Other turmoil, both related to blogworld and not, neither of which I can discuss, have been using up the rest of my available bandwidth.
Time slips away when you’re not paying attention.

Now try to do it with a couple kids and your own business :P
Better yet, try it as a single mom with two jobs and 3 kids…
As they say “could be worse”

It’s always amazed me how a house of your own can keep you so busy all the time.
