That's it, I'm pulling out of everything and going back to work!

I NEED TO GET SOME REST! Does anyone have an opening for a print datastream analyst and Critical Situation Manager. I'm looking for a home office situation and I'm willing to cut my salary to 100K instead of 150K just to go back to work.

In case you are wondering why I would want to come out of retirement now it's because of this morning!

At 7:30 AM I had to pick up Sean, then I had to scoot back home to pick up my son and take him to a Dr's. Appointment in Chesapeake then drop Jim at work, go to a doctors appointment (I have pneumonia) Then back to the house to pick up Bonnie and take her to work along with the Meatballs, Sausage, gravy and stuffed shells. Then get Sean down for a 1 hour nap, which he is not taking, thank you.

Next on the list, take Sean, Ryan and Chase out to Mickey D's for lunch and play while mom takes a nap, then pu Jim, drop at home followed by picking up Bonnie at work.

I NEED THE REST! At least at work, I could always squeeze in a few naps between coffee
Breaks and learning at the co-eds under my benevolent domain. :)

I'd LOVE to be a stay-at-home dad. :(

Did you finish folding the laundry and putting it away yet?

I love multi tasking! Trade you lives
Instead of critical situation manager work you can actually LIVE and breath critical situation manager by having my life... oh and you can have my cat Sapphire's room for your office.

Oh and the only dirty words besides my sons
Two pigs feel in the mud and three came out!

No dear, I haven't folded the laundry, as a matter of fact, I haven't even started on the three piles of the stuff on the floor. And no, I'm not planning on ironing tonight because I need the rest. How can you be so insensitive to my needs, I thought you loved me,

You, You just take and take, well no more.

No dear, I don't need anything broken tonight and I'd appreciate it you would call and cancel that autopsy you scheduled for me. I'm going to bed because I need the rest. You handle it for once. So there!

Oh, sweetie pie, I was just teasing you. Sit down right now in the recliner and put your feet up. Rest a bit and then I have a surprise for you.

*time passes by while Don relaxes and his breathing returns to normal*

Actually, while mom took her nap, she's 7 months pregnant, I guess she needs a nap, don't know why.

I was forced under the threat of great bodily suffering to take the three to a nearby park and watch them yell, scream, run and play, just like normal kids. No, I could not keep up with them, but I did try to keep up with Sean, the 2+ yeaqr old.

Oh just for the tiebreaker on this day, Sean must have spent some time in a stable because he sure smelled like it. Do kids come with wash aqnd wear instructions?

Hey Wonder Girl, I'm extremely impressed that you even know of the great Sachel Paige.

Oh well I'd contine this diatribe but someone has to change Sean and I'm too much of a coward to wake mom from a much needed nap to clean and change a rug rat that I let add pounds of dirt to an already combustable diaper.

Yep, I'm a real he man! As Dirty Harry would say, A legend in my own mind>

Hey Wonder Girl, I'm extremly impressed that you even know of the great Sachel Paige.

He and I used to date.

Wondergirl,

How can that be? You are what, 22 or 23. You are much to young to remember an old dog like the Satchel>

Oh, yeah. Yeah. That's right. I'm 22 or 23. In fact, I just turned 23 in November.
