Another penny, another thought

Hi, I guess the blog haven't really caught on yet :)
But thanks to my former neighbour who bothered to stop by and leave a comment.
If anyone (is there anybody out there?) wonder why I write this in english, it is simply because I have a cousin in Miles City, MT who promised me he'd read in every now and then. So here's to you Nobby ;)

This weekend I am a single dad, but not to worry, she'll be back on Sunday (I hope).
I guess everyone deserves some time off from housekeeping, work and screaming kids. Unfortunately my time off is usually spent "alone" offshore. I'd much rather stay at home and get overrun by three crazy kids, but the bread needs to be put on the table, right? Hopefully the kids will be self-supplied before I get too old to hang around in some exotic paradise on the other side of the planet, or to senile to remember i ever visited! - a quick diversion from what I was supposed to tell you; I am, as I said, a single Dad for a couple of days. Which I thought could be a fairly relaxing weekend. My things to do list was as follows:

-Get up, make breakfast.
-Let kids watch childrens tv while I read newspaper.
-Take kids outside and play for a while.
-Make dinner.
-Put kids to bed.
-Have my well deserved beer :)

However, as anyone who's ever been in the army knows: even the best laid plans will fail at first enemy contact! So, Friday have been like this:

-Woke up at 6:20, baby crying.
-Got up, change diapers, had two paracetamol and a fistful of vitamine-C tablets due to sore throat and runny nose. Slight fever (which is much worse for me than anyone else, I think I'm probably allergic to fever!)
-Drove kids to school. Drove wife to work.
-Collected wife @ work, drove her to bus station and saw her off.
-Drove home, fed kids, put baby to sleep, had 1/2 hour nap myself.
-Had to wake angry baby to get her to birthdayparty in time. Dressed her as wife told me to. Had to fix baby girls hair. No instructions attached,managed to place two pigtails unevenly on head...
-Went to party. Placed cake and jell-o unevenly on babys clothes and face.
-Got home, fed baby, ordered pizza, got baby to bed.
-Had quiet and nice evening with my two boys. Got them to bed at 10.30 pm.
-Found out that I forgot to buy beer, panic! Labourday tomorrow. Shops closed!!!
-Wrote frustrated notes in my Blog!

Now, I am not to complain about this. I know! Much people worse off than me. But you see, I haven't had the proper training for this, and I need some time...
And what really p***** me off about it all is that it is the damn communists fault!

You may ask why, and I'll tell you: The communists gave us the left wing which in terms gave us Labour day, which is really a day off for everyone to be working in the garden after communism died (really, it's dead!!! Don't let anyone lead you to believe anything else) Not even the labour party members bother to march on labour day anymore! AND, it is on a saturday this year, time off for most everyone anyway!
So I blame the commies for me having to spend tomorrow evening wothout beer, as I already drank the ones I had at home, which is most likely why I am writing this ballony right now.

So, if you think this is all B.S, blame communism, I do!!!

Have a nice evening :)
