What with inflation & fuel costs (yes, the latter’s been dropping somewhat, but insufficient in inspiring other affected markets to lower their prices as well).

Damn paper traders.

So GC’s starting a new job on the morrow... no more dropping off/picking up Siobhan from playgroup, no more whipping up her lunch in the kitchen, no more afternoon naps together, & so on so forth.

It feels as though I’m selling out, which Hisk says I’m not, so long as I don’t perceive it to be.

Well, I can only hope what I sacrifice in quantity can be made up for in quality.

‘Cept that every moment spent with my girls is top quality, insofar as much as I’m concerned.

The Missus tried explaining the new routine to Siobhan just now, which resulted in a long stream of ‘no, no, no, no.’

The Missus: She’s crying?

GC: What’s so surprising? I feel like crying myself.

House Hubbies don’t get respect, but fuck that shit; just being able to spend as much time as I’ve had with my girls? It’s priceless.

& it may very well be over, but at what price for what gains?

I’ll still be giving my new job my all, don’t doubt that.

But it hurts.

I don’t want to end up like that Mum at the East Coast Park Food Centre who was completely flummoxed when her younger child started singing the theme song of Wonderpets.
