What if I didn’t?

I have been sitting here for 2 hours barely being productive.  And not being blog productive.

I took yesterday completely off from the computer being Mothers day and all.  Saw my Mom and spent time with my wife.

A good day but no post written for Monday.  I have squandered my queue of Pre Written posts from the challenge, I need to spend a week and crank out 6 or 7.

So I have been closing windows and writing creative challenges and trying to figure out what to post on this blog.  And then I thought, “What if I didn’t post anything today?”  Would it matter?  I recently decided to bag a regular post on Wednesdays so that I could work on my other blog Cantankerous Old Coots, as well as fiction and  ebooks.

And you know what? Wednesday didn’t hurt me very much at all.  I still get a bunch of traffic and it seems ok.  Even on Sunday when I don’t turn on the computer at all until 9 pm or so isn’t doing bad.  So would cutting out Monday be a problem?

Actually I think it would.  Maybe later I can change that but not now.  4 months is not the time to slack off that bad.  I will just have to start writing Mondays post on Saturday!

Anyway, just me ranting today.  I am way too tired for this right now.  Have a good Monday everyone!

Poop or Brownies?

**editors note, for some reason this didn’t post Monday or Tuesday and I didn’t check it.  Pretend it is Monday to read this.  You could then pretend it is Friday and get a head start on the weekend.**

This title sounds like some sort of bizarre philosophical question but it is really more like a game show.  This is the sleep deprived thought that came into my head last night.  Why would this come into my head?  Well, that is what I intend to regale you with today.

Yesterday was Superbowl Sunday.  Due to a variety of circumstances including kids, church, scout meetings and just general noise, I have yet to view all of the commercials that are so lauded during the game itself.  The game was pretty good though.  I will report on the commercials maybe tomorrow after I look them up online.

As a part of Superbowl Sunday, as everyone should know, there is food.  Copious amounts of food, layered in salsa and jalapenos.  I actually made a turkey on Saturday and we had sandwiches.  It was pretty good.  For dessert, and here is where the point starts, my wife made brownies.  She even looked up a new recipe just for me.

See, I like the fudgy type brownies while she usually likes the cake style.  She made fudgy.  And they were good.  “Is there a real point, and when does he get to the poop?” you may be asking yourself.  It is coming I promise.

The family also gets to eat dessert of course.  If you have forgotten, or are not here from my other domain, I have 4 kids aged 11, 8, 5 and 19 months.  My story now centers on the 19 month old.  You can probably guess the direction now.  I went to change the babies diaper and there were little brown balls all over his pants and diaper.

Some of them I was not sure exactly where the brownie ended if you know what I mean.  I didn’t try any.  So, I got the kid changed and had this great idea for a game show or at least a sketch on SNL.  Behind a glass wall there is a plate of brown.  Behind another is another plate of brown.  Both look almost the same and the trick is to choose….Poop or Brownie?  Debate as long as you want and then you have to eat.  Could be one of those Japanese game shows where you pick wrong and not only have to eat but get a shot to the gonads as well.

Anyway, just some random thoughts of a deranged mind.  I am eagerly waiting for the wacked out things I come up with when I go off of these meds again.

Thanks for reading.

Whirlwind Weeks and Catching Up

Well folks last week was a mess.  I don’t really want to get into the journal or this is why I need to be coddled trap, but let’s just say last week was, well, a mess.

My Son was born on July 1st as I have documented on here, and then we spent 4 days in the Newborn Intensive Care Unit.  It would have been 14 for antibiotics if my daughter who had the kidney transplant didn’t decide to get an infection herself.  Anytime a transplant patient gets a fever over 103.5 degrees, they worry.  And then they admit to the hospital.

We were lucky that we could get my son transferred to the childrens hospital to at least be in the same building as my daughter.  I didn’t get much done over the week however.  I finally got my computer up there on Wednesday night and was able to do a bit of work and even record a podcast but good grief I am behind.

I did however come up with some good ideas for posts in the near future.  I even started a new ebook that I am planning on giving away with my email list.  I am excited about it, but I need a new title.  I googled my title and got a couple of older blog posts out there.  I don’t want anyone to feel ripped off.

Well here we are then, another week of blogging and creating and no worries about last week.  I am sorry about Fiction Saturday though, you guys are getting ripped off the last month with that one.  There will be more story this week I promise!

Thanks for reading and sticking around, I will have more pics of the new baby on my pics page, check it out!

OOPS! Plans changed!

Hey Folks, Quick update. All of my Carefully laid plans of posting and having things ready went out the window yesterday when the baby, so planned for induction on the 5th, came!

Official Announcement: We had a baby boy just before 6am on July 1! I am very excited to have a second son, but I am very nervous as he spent yesterday in the ICU because he decided to inhale some fluid as he was born.

As for all of this empire thing, Press Pause. This is a carefully written Stay at Home Dad post for today, there will probably not be a Man in the Hazy suit tomorrow. Sorry about that. Life has taken it’s toll on Fiction Saturday the past couple of months.

Have a great weekend. For those in the US, have a great 4th of July, remember those who have made our country and those who continue to keep it strong.

Thanks for reading, you guys are all awesome!
