Well, that was the old me. If I was blogging today, it would go like this:
"July 8th 2011
Today is our 4th wedding anniversary. It's my day off. it's going to be a good day.
9 am - Have a lie in and send the missus to the embassy to get result of visa application to visit family in UK.
10 am - missus returns devastated - application refused. Engage emergency sex until she's smiling again.
11 am - throw 4 year old niece in the air for 5 minutes until everyone agrees I'm the best uncle in the world. Done with kid for the day - hand over to women.
11.30 - authorise funding so that father-in-law can be rushed to hospital now his prostate cancer is flaring up again. Send missus to visit him and then crazy suicidal sister-in-law once removed in other hospital. Oh, I'm left with the kid. Play football computer game while genius 4 year old plays the Sims.
1 pm - wife takes kid to park - uninterrupted stint on computer game.
Afternoon - tear myself away from computer game and do some quality time with wife (maybe supervise her doing the laundry or something).
Evening - try to squeeze in romantic dinner. Leave kid with young sister who'll have to skip uni tonight.
Post-anniv meal - RobW's in town - send wife home and cruise hostess bars with mate (might have to forego that one tonight;
tomorrow is my birthday which is always brill 'cos all my young sisters turn up to give me a great day then leave me free in the evening - yeh!)"
It's really not the same, is it?
