What's it like?

I recently was in a waiting room and couldn't help overhearing this Man and Women discussing their evening plans. He said that when he gets home he would make dinner and they could watch American Idol together. It was a Tuesday or Wednesday night I can;t remember. It got me thinking. When was the last time I sat down with Marianna and watched TV.

BooHoo for me.

I just dont have a normal life. Its not just the hours. I have grown to have completely different expectations and wants. If I need something, I immediate go to the internet and learn all about it, I then check on Ebay for the used price, then I go buy it either on Ebay or the next best thing.

Me and the kids spend about 3-4 hours a day together and on some days as much as 5. At first, Marianna tried to convince me that that's too little but I spoke to a few of my friends and by the time they get home from work it 7pm and the kids are getting ready for bed. Of course, they have the weekends off and I work almost every Saturday and a lot of Sundays.

So it works out that when I add up the hours I spend a week with Sammy and Isaac vs the typical working Dad if looks like this.

Last week - Jean - 19.75 hours
Executive Friend - 7 hours

So I guess missing the pleasure of American Idol is worth it. Of course if there was roomn on my Video recorder I could record it. Marianna has completely filled the 450 hours available with Y and R and Bold and the Beautiful re runs.

Seriously once you watch that crap why do you still need it?




Ok so I'm a sap. I was watching Arthur and the Invisibles and started to tear up. Ever since I can remember movies, books have an effect on me. Marianna just shakes her head when she sees it, but I secret think she likes it. I read alot. By monthly book budjet is around $80. So if you see me reading a book in a resturant, tears flowing down my cheeks pass my a napkin. heheheheheh
