Roller coaster day
Today was roller coaster ride but does not seem so. Woke up to find that son had a pink eye. I was worried. I used to be a carefree sort of person before I became father. All the events of last day passed in front of my eyes to see which one might have caused pink eyes. But later realized that it was conjectivitus virus. Only thing is we have to be careful that none of us adults get it otherwise the virus will make rounds in the family.
Day was dull. It is sping vacation time in schools and thus, ideal time for parents to take week off for vacation from work. Same thing in Taiwan, so we end up with no meetings or low attendance in meeting.
I came home to find that son's eyes are not so pink anymore - sign that everything is getting better. Thankfully none of us has got conjectivitus. But the good thing was yet to come. It was interview day for my wife, who is searching for work from home position. Today's interview went well, but another interview few days ago brought some good news. She got in. She was so happy after almost three months of no work. Work is amazing thing. It not only provides financial support but also imparts self-confidence and self-worth to a person. Some people with kids tell us that with two kids spending on day- care almost equals to one parents salary. So it makes more sense to not send kids days- care. Instead one of the parents take care of the kids. We do not agree with this logic because the monitory benefits is not the only benefit job provides. Besides there are other things such as kids with other kids in day care learn more than being with a parents alone at home.
