I recently quit my job to stay home with my little girl (15 months), use to work for an ISP before....
day begins the little peanut gets up, could be 6am (doh!) or 9am
-i get up with her every other day, the missus does the other days, gives us each an equal chance to sleep in.
-get the peanut some milk and a quick snack while i rangle up some breakfast for her while she flips the channel over and over again on the tv.
she eats and watchs a bit of cartoons. that steve needs to get laid on blues clues...
-do some colouring and sing songs while i sip on a coffee and do some random surfing inbetween.
-nap time for the peanut. glorious nap time. i'll sit outside with the laptop and a coffee or do whatever cleaning i can't get done while the peanut is up.
-some lunch when she gets up, more playing and general fun.
-then a walk to the park or around the block weather permitting.
-snacks and some more playing and learning of rhymes. hard to do the nursery rhymes normal, too much exposure to the diceman when i was a teenager. there all dirty now!
-a mid afternoon nap for the little one, more surfing and random house work, couple video games. catch a bit of dr phil (don't tell the missus she would tease me).
-the peanut gets up, the wife comes home from work(if she is working days, she is on a rotating shift),
-share the days events with the wife, she takes over on lead peanut duties, while i'll get some dinner together and head to my dad zone (my HT room) to relax and zone out.
...etc
i loving being home with the kiddo, i worked my arse off putting myself through university, then my wife. I hated my job and longed to spend more time with my little treasure.....when she is not crying or screaming that is...
