Who's hiding the time?

Obviously, someone is hiding it, because I appear to have been shorted a little lately. With the little time available, I just haven't been in the mood to blog. I mean, between the kids and dogs and swim lessons and summer school and picking up after the damn mango tree and, oh-yes-my-wife-is-going-to-pop-any-friggin-day-now, I'm simply exhausted. The hard part is that I know I have it good. I have a great wife, a good steady job that I'm accomplished and well liked in, 2.8 wonderful kids, and 2 dogs so intelligent they make outsmarting them a part-time career. Oh yeah, living in Hawaii means I get to buy a kayak rack for my truck instead of a snowplow attachment.

There is seriously nothing like being so cynical that you ruin your own pity parties.

I wish I could afford to quit the job that I love because, just like in high school, there is simply not enough time to do everything I want to do. There are billions of people who would love to only have my problems. Life is great, if you let it be. My struggles are trivial in the grand scheme of things, but they get in the way of my blogging. This means you get less of me.

See how I did that? I share the guilt, peoples. That's what you do for people you love.... and strangers on the internet.

  • I almost felt sorry until I remembered that you lived in Hawaii. Then, all that seemed to come to mind was Marie Antoinette's famous statement, "Let them eat cake."

    You know she said that before they chopped her head off, right?
    :D

  • It's 81 degrees with 72% humidity. Ask my wife how AWESOME it is to be pregnant here - lol.

  • Being pregnant anywhere sucks! But then they get "borned" (as my nephew says) and then its gets worse! So enjoy what little spare time you have now.

    Miss you all - hope the delivery goes super smooth.

    Love,
    Krista

  • If this kid doesn't get "borned" soon, he's likely to get evicted!
