we have a pretty big house… with a pretty big yard… and a pretty big shed in the back to house my wheelbarrow. i need the wheelbarrow because we have some pretty big trees… which drop some pretty big sticks in the winter… which i need to spend a pretty good amount of time in the spring picking up.
sometimes, i think i would make a pretty good daddy if i didn’t need to spend a pretty good amount of my saturdays picking up sticks in the yard.
and the other times, i think i would make a pretty good daddy if i didn’t need to spend 50-60 hours /week trying to earn a pretty big paycheck to make the pretty big mortgage payments that are required to live in this pretty big house.

I think you should bring your children so you can all pick up sticks together. Make it a family thing. I grew up on a farm and was expected to help out.
Have to agree on the mortgage, though.
Definitely agree on the having the kids help. Teaches responsibility and all sorts of good stuff.
Just wondering, have you moved into somewhere smaller yet? :P
