A day in the life of the Yorkshire Dad

With time to kill today i thought i would take a step back and create an overview of my usual daily routine. I thought it might be worth sharing to show other dads a regular day in the life of a working dad looks like. Take a look:
  • 6:40 rise from the pit, weary eyed and fragile. 
  • 6:50 search for the dog-lead and head phones for the morning dog walk. 
  • 7:20 dry off from inevitable downpour and feed the dog.
  • 7:30 jump in the shower
  • 7:40 clumsily stumble around for the a decent pair of jeans, shirt and socks. 
  • 7:50 grab my lunch and bounce out of the door into the car for the stop start journey to work in Leeds.
  • 8:20 catch up on all the latest news, views and opinions from the various industry's my clients are in.
  • 8:45 innovate and create at work
  • 12:30 enjoy pasta and chilli dish, can of coke and variety of unhealthy snacks. 
  • 13:30 innovate and create at work 
  • 17:15 jump in the car back to Harrogate!
  • 17:50 be greeted by the dog, the baby and girl friend
  • 18:00 play time with Theo (tummy time, talking,bouncer, etc)
  • 18:20 it's tea time..... 
  • 18:30 sit down to catch up on tv shows or either Play golf, squash or go for a run
  • 19:30 feed the baby!!
  • 19:50 bath the baby
  • 20:20 babies bed time
  • 20:45 sit down, relax and laugh
  • 21:30 tidy up, clean bottles and lock up.
  • 22:00 sit down again and chill on the laptop 
  • 23:00 it's bed time!
  • 1:00 Theo's wakes up for a feed and it's my turn! 
So that's the day in the life of a working dad. It's not show biz or rock and roll but it's my life and I love it!
