Dentist or Engineer???

The kids have their fiddle lessons tomorrow and I have a class at the same time. I was freaking out about how I was going to get both done and Robyn looked at me and said, "Mom, Dad can take us." And so he CAN! What a revelation!

As the daughter of a dentist, it never even occurred to me to ask Randy such a thing. Engineers have more flexibility in their schedules. Randy has to put his hours in, but he has a lot more freedom to choose what those hours are on a daily basis. He can choose to go to work at 7:00 or 9:00. He can take his lunch earlier or later depending what is going on. He can even work from home if he so chooses. (He doesn't choose work from home often because the computer connection is much faster at work and Colin sidetracks him into playing Super Tux instead of working at home.) Whereas a dentist has to schedule months in advance or change a schedule that was made months in advance.

It was fine to be a dentist's daughter, however, I really like being an engineer's wife. It is good for me.
