Work / life balance about ama HOT 4 CLOSED

Lets look at a day:

5/6-8am - Wake up on the couch (My daughter has started sleeping in our bed, and its not big enough for 3, plus I sleep with the TV on). Go to office. Open source, playing with stuff, drinking coffee

8am-9am - I come up, make breakfast, tickle the child, talk with wife about the plans for the day. Breakfast is typically fried eggs and sausage.

9am - noon - Work. Come up for coffee here and there. Sneak in 20 minutes of treadmill intervals

noonish - 1ish - Come up and make lunch. Chicken breasts or something in the winter, Steak or some other thing on the grill if its summer. If its nice outside, go out there for a little.

4 - 5 - Come upstairs to talk dinner and evening plans. Return to wrap up the work day.

5 - 6 or 7 - Make dinner, typically some kind of meat and vegatable setup.

6 or 7 - 9 or 10 - Play with the kid, go to target, watch childrens movies, whiskey (though not lately, green tea instead), bathe the kid, that sort of thing.

10 or 11ish - 12 or 1ish - Go back downstairs and code some more or talk shit on twitter.

Kids are fun. There comes a point when you've done a lot of crazy shit and been to every hot restaurant in the area and adulting is getting routine, and its nice to do some fun kid type shit. A whole new group of activities opens up to you. Plus, its amazing being able to introduce a kid to things like cinnamon toast crunch for the first time.

Now keep in mind, this is all shuffleable. I will take hours here and there if theres something cool to do with my daughter or its super nice out. Also I do a 30 minute kickboxing round during 4-5 if I'm not particularly busy (3-5 times a week)
