It used to be that the CEO couldn't nap. She couldn't fall asleep while watching TV or reading a book. Now these things are no problem. Man is she tired. Don't worry CEO it will only be like this for the next 20 years ;)
We just got back from our vacation in sunny Florida and do I ever need a vacation. We had a good time and The Kid had a great time. However the logistics for planning fun with four kids and five adults can be intersting to say the least.
It's 10:50pm and I just finished some crackers and cheese. Now it is time for bed.

Road blogging.
We are off to Sunny Florida on Tuesday.
I'm going to attempt to do some blogging from the road.
Maybe I'll try the audio blog feature again. It didn't work the first time I tried it. There is so much to do before we go, yet here I sit wasting time in front of the computer.
It's garbage night. I hate garbage night! We generate so much garbage. How is it possible and there is so much cardboard in our lives. Where does it all come from and why does it keep coming.

Sanibel Island?
We are on our way to Florida in a few days. We are staying with my in-laws. This will be the first meeting between them and Little Z. The original plan was to stay at their condo on Sanibel Island. Things have changed. They sold the condo and are renting a place in Ft. Meyers until they can find a house. I believe they were hoping to have a new place on Sanibel before we arrived. Such is life. I'm just looking forward to doing nothing. I've been so busy at work I've been bringing it home with me which really goes against my core values.
The Kid loves to "help." She even loves to help me scoop up our dogs shit. I'm glad of this. I'm glad she's not grossed out. I'd love it if this became her job. However right now she just doesn't have the physical control to do this job with out possibly making a huge mess, this doesn't stop her from trying. The other day I had to battle her for control of the pooper scooper shovel. "Get your finger off!", "I can do it!", "Don't worry!" These were some of the statements she made as I wrestled to control the flying poop. As she and I struggled she kept grabbing the shovel at lower and lower points to try and gain more control. It seemed she was inches from the ground and the offending dog poop, gross. She was having trouble and wanted so badly to complete the job, she looked up at me and said "Maybe you have to cut it?" She raised the shovel and prepared to cut the shit. At this point I had to end it, I had to take over. I hate picking up after the dogs. How long do I have before The Kid thinks it is gross, I'm guessing that will happen before she's old enough to do it as a job. It seems it is maybe my unfortunate fate to always have this task.

The Star Wars Kid - The Last Jedi (Remix) - music video
The Star Wars Kid - The Last Jedi (Remix) - music video
This link is a riot. Apparently this kid recorded himself in the AV lab in his highschool doing star wars moves with a long pole. Somehow the tape got out and some creative SW/internet person edited the raw video added the intro and added the light saber effect..

Auto Pilot.
My alarm rang 1/2 an hour early this morning. I forgot to reset it from yesterday. I shot up, stumbled down to the shower and didn't realize this horrible error until I was out of the shower and I looked at the clock. What's wrong with that clock, I thought. Nothing you fool you woke up a precious 1/2 hour early. Ahhhhhhhh!!!! I've been complaining about sleep for weeks and I do this to myself. What an idiot.
You know I thought I was cool, I thought I was hip to the web and I missed this whole "Numa, Numa" madness. Thanks biG for the video link. That video is a riot. It seems to becoming more and more likely that we will all have our 15 min. of fame someday.

Pinecone.
What a Mess!
That's a blurry picture of a small portion of the computer desk in the guest room/office. You know your desk has gotten out of hand when you have a giant pinecone as part of the clutter. Is there hope for us?....
Sitcom.
The invention of the sitcom seems to me to be a natural extension of having kids. If you can step out of the madness it is quite easy to see the humor in this life with kids. Maybe "quite easy" is an overstatement. However, the physical comedy alone is enough to keep you laughing for 1/2 an hour.
It is so frustrating when all I can do is sit here and think:
"I'm tired, tired, tired, tired"
Maybe writers block stems from exhaustion? I sound like a broken record. I think I'm going to change my blog subtitle to my Mantra.
