Before you read what I write. Read who I am.

Originally from Alberta and in the last number of years having been living in Vancouver, British Columbia. We are now living in Woolwich, London where we inhabit a wonderful little 2 floor flat in the Royal Arsenal. The family has grown over the years from being just my wife and I to the family of four we are now. My work has brought us to London for the next two years where for the first time in ages we will live in the same house for more than a birthday. The experience is written below from then till now. With a view of the Thames from our windows and boat ride to work the new life begins.

Not as planned

Well it was a hard day today.

We took a boat in to Waterloo to meet Gordon and then to head over to the Tate Modern. Unfortunately some things went south. Seb did not get near enough sleep last night and was in a crabtastic mood all morning, it came to a head when we took away his DS at the restaraunt and he slapped Kate in the face. Our day was cut short right then and there and Seb and I took a boat home. Kate, Rigby and Gordon went on with lunch and then to the Tate.

Seb and I talked a little about what had gone down but I was still pretty angry about the whole thing. I've really been resentful towards his time on the DS and feeling like it has been taking him away from the things that actually matter. I believe I texted Kate with 'throw the damn thing in the river' after we left. Now it's time to change the rules again. To adjust what is acceptable to us to match how the day is being affectted.

He has been given permission to stay up late (as late as he wants) recently but after a few messes of brown sugar or syrup in the morning that has been compromised in to 'stay up until we go to bed'. We'll see what comes of the talks around Nintendo play.

In the meantime he and I had a good afternoon and I'm much calmer now.
