Day after Day

Yesterday, I was going to blog about how "dialed in" I felt as a parent and household member. The Monkey and I spent a great, interactive day together, yet I still managed to buy groceries, improvise a quasi-gourmet meal, clean up the house, help get the Monkey to sleep for the night, etc. etc.

Today, I got no downtime -- the Monkey took his nap in the car -- and a lot of problems seemed to crop up that should have been apparent yesterday.

That's parenting for you. Or maybe that's just life.

But it's definitely parenting.
