Dr. Steve's Daycare

The reality of the myriad spring projects is becoming hard to ignore. Our already hideous yellow paint is starting to peel off in sheets like a molting gila monster. Even after several great rain days the lawn is still composed of only several oasisses surrounded by vast desert expanse. The garage door requires a team of weightlifters to open. I haven't made a trip to Lowe's in over four months.
On top of that I have been in Ohio hibernation our entire long winter, often becoming severely winded by merely laying on the floor. Something needed to change...and that something did.
Ever since the weather took a turn for the better I have been getting out at least once a day to jog, throw a frizbee, play hyper dash, or throw around the awesome Gator football Elijah got from his Opi down in Tampa. A pleasant side effect to all of this outing is I've found the spring projects to no longer seem to be quite as impossible as they did they first day the weather peaked above 55 degrees. So maybe it's not a matter of tackling all those big projects right now, but instead tackling a six year old with a football first to help in the longer run.

The Dr. Steve show you just read was written in front of a live studio audience.


The Zach man's back.
Zach had been out sick the last couple of days fighting a nostril bug of sorts but fortunately he seems to be feeling much better; so it is for an entirely different reason which I pity him today. Ever since Zach leaned how to crawl, the two babies have been competing over who gets the coolest toys. Having suffered at the prying hands of both her big brother and my former pupil, Fred, Amelia is finally seeing the opportunity to exact revenge for every toy that had ever been taken from her. Fortunately the referee of her thievery game is a distraction specialist much like that of a rodeo clown (perhaps I missed my calling) and can quell even the most heated debates over squishy bowling pins and such.
