STAY AT HOME DAD 2020

Who's up for Round Three??

THE STORY

So it's March 22 2020, and starting tomorrow I'll be a stay at home dad again. This will be my third crack at the wheel, and I want to do it right this time. My pregnant wife will also be working from home while I hang with our two boys, who are four and six. (Baby three is another boy due in July) 

I have a construction background while she works for the federal government. Due to Covid-19 daycares and schools are closed, and as an asthmatic who works in a fibreglass plant, I can't catch this shit. Headaches and shortness of breath are already a part of my daily life so I wouldn't know if I caught this until I was dead. 

Why a Blog?

I have a habit of making all kinds of grandiose plans and never following through with them. This is mostly to keep me accountable to my goals I've set for while I'm home. A daily or twice daily check in here will keep me accountable I hope.

I also don't have the best memory, so having a record of this will be nice in a few years.

THE GOALS

• STAY IN SHAPE: Exercise once a day

• AUDIBOOKS: Take advantage of my Audible membership that I've never used to do some self improvement

• FINANCES: Check in daily to see where we're at. No more burying my head in the sand and hoping shit will work out

• CONNECT WITH THE BOYS: Find something special that I can do with each of them to bring us closer while we're home together.

• HOUSEWORK: Stay on top of shit. No more busy Sundays spending all day doing shit.

• FOOD: NO MORE SKIPPING MEALS. EAT SOMETHING!!!

• HEADSPACE: Star meditating and stick with it.

• KEEP MYSELF ACCOUNTABLE: Quick blog hit when I accomplish something on this list.
