The post before I post about school starting back up

So much for well intended plans.  My early summer blogging plans were to write down and chronicle our adventures of daddy daycare.  I guess I underestimated my time.  Chasing around the twins is certainly tiresome and any down time has been spent starting to prepare for the upcoming school year, trying to have the smallest bit of a normal social life with the wife and kids, or sleeping.  It has been really enjoyable to spend the summer with them, not the most productive as far as school preparation, but I wouldn't trade it for anything.  We survived the beach and our first birthday and are on the verge of walking.  Then the trouble will really begin for me and the Mrs.  But I digress.

Some things that have helped get me through the roughly 8 weeks with nearly no adult contact (in no particular order)

  • The nursery at our gym, big thanks to the ladies who work there.  The daily break was much needed for everyone
  • Arrested Development re-runs
  • Nap time (not long enough most days, but beggars can't be choosers)
  • The World Cup and ICC (very stoked for the upcoming BPL season
  • Perusing spotify to catch up on several albums I've missed and finding new music
  • And lastly, the fact that the kids can play on their own and be self-entertained or entertain one another.  The breaks every so often have allowed me to relax, work, or have some kinds of interaction through social media.
I'll have more next week when the kids go back to daycare full time.  Only 9 days until my first day at the new school and two weeks until students first day.  Very excited, a bit nervous with all this AP stuff I need to do, but we'll figure it out.  Hopefully by next week's post I'll have a concrete plan as to how the first week will go.
