I have been taking a little break from myself. Sounds nice in a way, huh? But actually I have had to have this break due to some life stress I’ve had of late. Life stress that’s caused by families, relationships, bills, debt, and JOBS THAT REFUSE TO PAY THEIR EMPLOYEES ON TIME. However, I will not comment further about work on the internet, because I’ve heard and taken to heart the advice of my friend Dooce.Her wise words of ‘Thou Shalt Not talk about work on the Internet’, unlike all the other Thou Shalt Nots that have been shoved in my face recently, I truly believe. And listen up people, here is why, because I trust the source! Even though I’ve never met Heather B. Armstrong in my life, I trust her more than any ancient mythological tale. I guess I trust her more because she isn’t trying to control me, or guilt me, or take my 10%…as far as I can tell.

Now I’m in the process of shaking off my stress and refocusing on my kids, my family, and my silly self as demonstrated in this little blog. The truth is its hard to stay depressed and stressed when you have a three year old running around attaching the word “bastard” on the end of every phrase he speaks, in SPITE of all warnings that the word “bastard” has a minimum age of use requirement of 5.
