As i'm sitting here with my coffee waiting for my 4 year old to wake up and big game season is now about over I have a bit of time to reflect on the good outta the bad.
Covid layoff, i thought it was the end of the world initially. How were we going to get by without my full pay? Now I'm realizing this is the most continuous amount of uninterrupted time I've gotten to spend with my son. I missed his first steps and first words due to work and was the 2 hrs at most before bedtime dad due to my work schedule. Every daddy/Gabie day is now an adventure. It starts with a breakfast of daddy's special sausage (venison breakfast sausage) and pancakes and goes wherever he wants it to. From playing tractors and dinosaurs to sled riding and walking through the woods watching him point out tracks and deer beds to him thinking I'm a magician for making a fire with sticks (ferro rod and knife which i can safely say i was not sure i could make work but he didn't know that ) I can't believe it was Covid that finally made me realize time will trump money every day of the week in my household from now on.
