Home alone with the kids and Poker!?!?!

Well I learned my final lesson the hard way about playing poker at home when I am left alone with my 2 youngest boys, aged 5 and 6.

It started with my 5yr old innocently trying to install and download a game he wanted to play on his own computer... He come up to me and says "I am waiting for my game to finish downloading". I am like, "What game?, on the Wii or your V-tech?" He replies "On my putercore" I run in to find it downloading some Dora game and find out I have to run it over with new installs and updates to do, then the game starts freezing 5 min. into it every time he tries to play. He decides he wants to play another game, he has the shortest attention span of anybody I have ever come across...

Next I notice after about 15 min. of quiet that something must be up! As the last time I had 15 min. of quiet when home alone with my 2 youngest boys I found them in the bathroom making "potions" with all the perfume, cologne, shampoo, bubble bath, baby powder, dog shampoo, toothpaste, etc.. So I find my 5yr old in my bathroom with my electric razor and half of a Mohawk. Yup that's right, and I know I have too look forward to shaving his whole head before bed as I can't let him go to kindergarten with half a Mohawk. OR CAN I??

The rest of the evening was quite uneventful in the fact that they only got into 3 wrestling matches and tried to feed the fish 1 time when I wasn't paying close enough attention and the dog scored triple extra dog treats. Nobody got hurt from the wrestling and I think I made a total of $40 playing online through 12 different games. So all isn't lost, and it was a quick life lesson about not paying close enough attention to the boys.

Also my half a Mohawk youngest, David Jr., has a rash on his bum, awesome, and I can't find the cream that we use for rashes. Of course my wife hid it since the last time he tried to put it on himself and it ended up all over half his body and walls and doorhandles and bathroom counter, etc... This stuff isn't easy to clean and I can't find out where it is since my wife turned her cell phone off, or left it in the car as she usually does when I am home alone with the boys, nice.

The funny part is, I work with Preschool children and families for my full time job, but my own kids always seem to be more than a handful. They must get it from there mother's side of the family... well actually my 14yr old went through the same kind of things and that is with another mother, so maybe, possibly it could be from my side... like my mom or something and it skipped my generation or just me specifically.

Heck who am I kidding, I am tool and burned my hand on the hot stove more times than I can count... The good part of the evening was that I made hot dogs, microwaved, for dinner, the dog scored half of 1 of mine when I turned my head and we "kicked butt" playing Mario Party 8 on the Wii. The poker was just filler for the supposed down times when I thought I had them set up playing on there computer or watching a movie or playing with the abundance of toys we and my parents and in-laws spoil them with.

Feeling a little sick, headache getting worse, going to drug myself with pills and shave my son's head.... Yeah!

The wife, I mean the dutch es, should be home soon... Hooray!

Cheers all, see you at the tables, and if you have never had a bad run for a month of playing then have a look at my shark scope stats for November on Ipoker "falenangel", if you have then guess what... I finally understand what all the pro's have been saying about variance. I am learning, growing, and trying to work on my game more now than ever before.
