take this day by the throat
Yesterday was frustrating, not super tick bite, mom-in-the-ER frustrating, but frustrating none-the-less. I could not complete anything. I put a fix in for NitroVideo that didn’t end up working. I ran into issues importing liv’s blog entries into her new site (I am very proud of her design though – I’ll link when liv gives the OK, I do whatever she tells me to). I also failed to finish The Bridge Over the River Kwai (which is great, I’m just so tired) and I didn’t find time to finish Me Talk Pretty One Day either. I’m so… I’m so unsatisfied.
But today is another day, and I’m going to take this day by the throat.
Right now there are my kiddos favorite bedtime books – Super Fly Guy, SuperHero ABC, Frankie Stein (thanks to Carolyn, this was on the summer booklist from Nokomis), The Fat Cat Sat on the Mat (they like this one because the cat looks a lot like Mr. E), and Motorcycles.

I want that sink inside my tree house. Plumbing a tree house must be a nightmare.

Kerry – seriously, could you imagine the bill to get a plumber to climb up a tree?

Tooth tattoos? You’re right, gold teeth are so yesterday!

The Smirking Cat – it’s amazing how much money, energy people put into not being themselves

Dang, I guess the treehouse I stayed in at the Salt Spring Island Hostel isn’t even in the running… but I thought it was darned cool.

((hug)) I hope today is better. I remind you what you’ve said to me: “life grades on a curve.” And I’d encourage you to look at your measure of success. You may not have accomplished somethings, but you were an awesome Dad yesterday. So what’s your measure of success?

On a Limb with Claudia – you are indeed correct, and a better man than myself taught me that phrase. good reminder. thank you.
June 24th, 2008 at 12:09 pm
We were on vacation, so I am just now catching up. Your kids look like they are having such a great time! I love the videos and pictures!
On a Limb with Claudia said what I was thinking (although maybe better than I would have worded it), so I’ll leave it at that.

Carolyn – i have a feeling he would get the fish on the dish as well, no matter what the rat, the bat, or the hat tried… also, i’m picking up two more books from your list on my way home tonight too – Dino Hockey and Deep in the Swamp

Looove the sink! Not planning on getting anyone’s likeness on my toofs anytime soon tho.
You got any ink?

kat – i just got new toner cartridges for my printer a couple of weeks ago, funny you should ask
June 24th, 2008 at 2:54 pm
I do not like frustrating days; like you, I dislike feeling unsatisfied… makes for a grumpy day.
I must have a sink like that! I would put it in my little hippie tree house.

I want a tree house!! (you can’t see me but right now I’m pouting and kicking my feet…) I want a tree house!!!!
And why in the blue hell would anyone want a tattoo of David Letterman on their tooth? The world is just plain weird…
June 25th, 2008 at 12:28 am
Every single day–since I became a parent–I have a day like yours. It never stops being frustrating.
Okay, half of those kid books you mention? My kids’ current faves. SUPERHERO ABC’S is staring at me right now.

I have always wanted to live in a tree house. Like the Ewoks.
June 25th, 2008 at 7:44 am
OMG, those tooth tattoos? Seriously – I have seen it all now. The Dave Letterman one is CREEPY, yo. How’d you like to stare at his mug in someone’s mouth? EW.
June 25th, 2008 at 8:11 am
I had a day like that too yesterday and your TV link here nearly destroyed this one. Back to work!
June 25th, 2008 at 8:27 am
Yeah, we all have those days. I had one of those weekends. Keep your chin up and go play with the kids.
