Right now, Maggie and my daughter are at the ballet at Lincoln Center in Manhattan. My oldest is playing bingo (yes, bingo) at the town center, and my youngest is in the bath. Normally, my family is pretty much all together from Friday (when I get home from work) until Monday (when I leave for work).
This unusual separation is going to continue all month.
This weekend, Maggie is taking a Photoshop course I got her for Christmas. It's at the International Center for Photography, and it's all day long... both Saturday and Sunday.
Next weekend, she has the same thing, part II.
Weekend after that, Maggie and I are going to Vermont, just the two of us... to look at possible little places to purchase with money that we absolutely do not have.
Weekend after that, I'm being sent to Orlando to support the design and video teams at a huge pharmaceutical conference. Pro: I can make $1000/day. Con: I'm away from the family for five days. Clearly (as a friend of mine said), I have a price.
Then, it's February. And that means birthday time! I'm going to be 37. I kind of can't believe it. But I'm spending that weekend home with my family, old tired fart that I will be.
Love to all. Even you, the blonde kid who glared at me.

Greetings to a fellow 37-year-old! Wow, sure sounds like you and your family are busy. My family is having "Friday Family Fun Night" tonight. We watched some fairly hilarious shows on Disney and now the girls and my wife are playing pick up stix. I wish you the best as you struggle to balance family and work. When you come to Florida, make sure you bring some sweaters or jackets, cuz it's been a little chilly here lately.
But I wanted to go to Orlando too, pinky. I am sick of making 70 dollars a day.
