Monday Morning Haiku #25
My girls grow quickly.
With long office days, I’ve lost
more than just an hour.
Yes, I’m cursing Daylight Saving Time this morning just like thousands of others across the country, but as my haiku this week indicates, there’s another place where I’ve lost even more time than our government-mandated clock-changing activity can suck away from me.
The last couple of weeks (and the next couple) have been pretty crazy, work-wise. I’m working lots of extra overtime to get some things completed by deadline for my latest project, which has severely cut into the time I’ve been able to spend with my family. Absence may make the heart grow fonder, but it also gives you a big old case of the blues. I’m hoping things settle down soon and I’m able to get back to my normal schedule, so I can play with the girls in the evenings rather than get home just in time to help put them to bed. (I’m sure my wife wishes I’d get home earlier, too, so she’s not having to carry the entire parenting load for 15+ hours a day by herself.)

Before 7 AM…
Early this morning (i.e. before 7AM), I replaced the Bean’s doorknob with the one from my closet door. The new one? It does not lock.
4 year olds do not need a door that locks. ESPECIALLY when they use it to act out in anger.
On a related note, my wife will now be able to lock herself in the master bedroom closet when she can’t take the kids anymore.
What did you do before 7 AM? What do you WISH you had done before 7 AM?
