So It Is McDonald’s

January 21st, 2009 § 1

Shea has a cold.  Maybe a bad one, maybe the sniffles.  You can never really tell with children.

Lyra asked me this morning if I would mind taking Shea out someplace so she could have a little break and he could get out of the house.  With this cold, the child has been cooped up for several days.  At first I thought about all the email and things I had been putting off for so long.  Then I remembered some things.

a. Shea and Gage keep each other entertained

b. McDonalds has a playground and wifi

c. Lyra needs a break

d. Daddy needs to work

It was like a mathematical equation just all being put together beautifully.

So having said all that, I have been here for the last two hours working while the boys entertain themselves (and one another) in the play ground.

The occasional dirty look from the rich grandmothers is a little annoying, but it’s worth it.

Why the dirty looks?

Shea is playing with their kids and he is coughing and sniffing.  I sure hope he’s not contagious.

    That turned out to be the best mathematical equation I’ve seen. Worked beautifully for all involved!!! And, now I get more peace and quiet because it’s nap time for Shea and outside time for Gage. You’re a genius, honey!! I love you!!!
