My other full time job...

I only work 4 days a week at my "world wide leader in sports" job and spend the other weekday taking care of my kids...we usually go to the park or try to do something active. Here are a few crappy blackberry pics from last week...





This is something that I actively pursued when negotiating my current job. On the days with my kids, I usually don't wear a watch...sounds funny, but I could care less what time it was when I am with them!! The thing that pushed me to do this was beacuse my dad was very busy when I was a kid and I wanted to make sure that I spent some quality time with the kids while they were young! Since my wife only works 3 days a week, the kids are only in daycare two days a week...a pretty good mix!
The funny part of my Monday trips is that I am usually the only male "stay at home mom" at the park...and no, I don't have a minivan

WTG Mark!

Good for you and the kids. There is help out there.... even for those who drive a minivan.

I get out to CA (Burbank/Glendale) and FL (Orlando/Vero Beach) for work a couple times a year for work and play...They are great companies to work for if you have kids...stay free at the resorts and parks..etc...plus they are very flexible with my work schedule (as long as my team meets the filing deadlines!)

I will have to visit some of my ZMT buds on my next business trips...it could prove to be expensive though
