Moving to blogger.com

Many of my work colleagues have been getting a kick out of my blog, and some have even suggested I share it with the world. So, now I've taken the plunge and moved my blog from MSN Spaces to Blogger.com. under the title "parentingfun".

Goodbye MSN Spaces - you have served me well.

Now for an exercise in cut and paste :-)

That's NOT how you clean the toilet!!!!

Originally Published June 14, 2005.

We found a box of soap bars and our hair brush in the toilet tonight. Ben was trying to help with the house cleaning by cleaning the toilet for us.
C'est La Vive.

Turns out we found a little pile of incinerated chop sticks at the bottom of the oven.

Parenting lesson number 1287: When turning the oven on, remember to firstly check that your 2 year old son hasn't been using it as a little hidey spot for his toys. :-)

Daddy's Home

Originally published June 1, 2005

When your kids are young you get great satisfaction as a dad from coming home and hearing "Daddy's home" and being greeted by your kids. Then I sing Zippedy Doo Dah and a blue cartoon bird comes and sits on my shoulder.

Tonight I get...

"Thank God your home. Here... he's wet. They've wrecked the house. Yada yada yada..."

Damn. Back to reality.
When's the next product launch again? :-)
