Back to normalcy--whatever that is

Today I got home before it was dark. I almost forgot what it was like to arrive in time to have dinner with Wendy or bathe Eloise. For once, I held her while Wendy and her parents were eating.

These last few weeks, I've been pretty rough on the household. The nighttime feedings have been the same, but after the 9:00 a.m. (or so), I would watch the baby while Wendy showered, etc. Then I'd make her breakfast and stuff before leaving for the office. Otherwise, Wendy would have tough time showering or eating.

During the day, Wendy's mom would show up to watch the baby while she worked on the GR layout which I'd email to her or bring home on a flash drive. I hear it got pretty hectic during the afternoon, especially the ones where Eloise was fussy.

Wendy's dad would show up around dusk with dinner of everyone and they'd hang out until I got home. Over the last weeks that's been roughly from 8:00 to 10:00.

Whenever a deadline ends, I'm usually left with a void in my schedule and wondering what to do--concerts, art shows, Dodgers games, Mammoth trips. Catch up on sleep. Not so much this time--I have a lot of making up to do at home because I feel like a deadbeat dad.

If you want to drop by and say hi, this is a good time...
