OH! Don’t you just hate deadlines, they really do my head in. It’s all corporate times and their patience is paper thin.
Yes I’ll take some time off and you and I with the kids we’ll spend the day. I promise you, I promise you, just it will not be today.
Up each morning at 5am. Shower, coffee, car you have to be seen working hard or you never will go very far.
Yes I’ll take some time off and you and I with the kids we’ll spend the day.I promise you, I promise you, just it will not be today.
Home late every evening, are the kids in bed already. Yes love please a big one I need a drink, my nerves to steady.
Yes I’ll take some time off and you and I with the kids we’ll spend the day.I promise you, I promise you, just it will not be today.
Yes I am important and I am always at the ready I have to work the weekends the firm would collapse with out me and it earns us an extra penny.
Yes I’ll take some time off and you and I with the kids we’ll spend the day.I promise you, I promise you, just it will not be today.
How are you doing without me honey I am sorry I am away. What’s that? the kids have Mumps,sorry have to dash I be home a week today.
Yes I’ll take some time off and you and I with the kids we’ll spend the day.I promise you, I promise you, just it will not be today.
Can you cook a special dinner tonight we have an important client, and wear that purple dress of yours I sure that will make him compliant. I know the kids are studying but they can use their rooms. I’ll bring you home some flowers you know you love bright blooms.
Yes I’ll take some time off and you and I with the kids we’ll spend the day.I promise you, I promise you, just it will not be today.
Yes I know it is their Graduation but does it have to be Thursday I need to meet a deadline, yes, yes I’ll do my best to be there okay!! I am working hard to give them all the best that I can, cars, big house, education, expensive holidays and don’t forget the medical plan.
Yes I’ll take some time off and you and I with the kids we’ll spend the day.I promise you, I promise you, just it will not be today.
Damn this house is cold what’s happened to the lights. Hang on here’s a note. It says she’s working late tonight . I didn’t know she had a job what is going on. Hey kids how you doing. What, you need the car right now okay….. and then they were gone. I know I am import, I am the man of the house. I have taken time off especially to be with the wife and kids, to find the house is empty no sign of kids or spouse!
Yes we’ll take some time out of our social rounds we’ll try and find time for you Dad you have a rest we’ll see you around.
