Unexcused Abscence

April 12, 2010

Seriously? Nine days without a post? I have no doubt that this is a new personal record for me--and I don't like it one bit.

I guess I just had a lot going on last week--a crap load of work meetings, a nasty cold that hit us all, and James turned five.

Now that last one? It seems simple enough, doesn't it? Well it's not.

James turning five meant a birthday party with idon'tevenknowhowmany children, the world's worst trip to WalMart (which deserves its very own post since it caused me to swear off that ginormous box of crap for the rest of my life), and an impromptu trip to a body shop for some custom training wheel modifications.

But the good news? James was thrilled. Off his rocker at church yesterday, but 100% thrilled.

So here I am. Sorry for the neglect, but now you know how my children feel.

Mine turned five last week too. She thinks she's getting a birthday party. I don't have the heart to tell her I just really, really don't want to.

I like it when you fail to blog. It's then that I know you aren't some kind of comedy blogging robot.

OR ARE YOU?!!!!!

I can't find the comment button on your most recent post! But heck yes, I'd run around the block naked.

No comments turned on after you asked a question? Nice. :D

I would never run around the block naked, even if I were the last person on earth.
