Hey MF, thanks for bringing a smile to my face. I've been feeling down today.
No, we don't have kids. We tried, even went through IVF twice, but it never happened. This is not a sore point for me because I went into the M armed with the awareness that it might not happen. My W took it harder than I. I know it still bothers her whenever someone asks her that question because she really wanted to have kids.
We have six nieces and nephews and I pay attention to the SIL's and sister. Also to friends and how they handle things. So I know how it's not easy to get that 'us' time. The only way around it, as mean as it sounds, is to find a way to get rid of the kids. My FIL used to send my W and sisters packing off to the movies whether they liked it or not <evil grin> My folks packed us off for a weekend away with my cousins (I think... never asked) My SIL dumps the twins on us or the grandparents for a night or two. MF, where there is a will... then is a way.
How about 'punishing' D18 with babysitting duty for a weekend? You know... because of the tattoo
As for my planning and executing that comes from my line of work. I used to architect large systems for banks. Basically it was thinking of Murphy and trying to outwit the wily bugger. So I apply the same principles to almost everything I do.
As for bullet points... I'll need to reverse engineer my brain and come up with those. What I've found is that there is never a one size fits all solution. Every system has different variables, and like life, you take bits and pieces of experience that you have and stick them together to come up with a solution. LOL. I hope that makes sense, it's late and I'm exhausted.
If you have something in mind for a plan I'd be happy to craft one for you.
Regarding calling me G, thank you it's an honor. I have 'Gno' problem with it
