I am mildly proud of how well things are going so far as I am flying solo as a parent this week. Yes, Julie has left me for warmer climates with all her sisters and her mom. A great idea, long overdue.

I had the kids in bed and the house in pretty decent shape by 8pm tonight. The weekend started off pretty hectic as not less than four hours after Julie split, my little guy had it coming out of both ends, as they say. He is fine now, so it seems. Knock on wood and all that. I am glad Julie never reads my blog as I don't want her worrying about stuff like that. I know it will all be fine.

My main goal is to not try to get anything done, although I have one day with a gig and a rehearsal and I have to teach for three of the evenings this week. I am really lucky that both my siblings and my dad are pitching in.

Perhaps I will try to do stuff but just wont count on getting anything done, ie. tonight I have a final report for an old grant to write. damn....hate that.

later,
tim

p..s. not much of a hockey game today eh!!
