Some of you don’t know this, but some of you clearly do. I will call those that do, oh, shall we say, “parents?” Yes, I will call them “parents.” One cannot force a 3.45 year old to eat quickly. This is an issue when you have to pick him up from pre-school, get him fed, and get him to his afternoon childcare and you need to be back at work because of some crazy deadlines you did necessarily agree to. Little Man will eat his orange rice at his own pace thank you very much. If that pace happens to coincide with the ending of a Blue’s Clues episode, that is mere happenstance. It is not some master scheme devised by a not yet 4 year old Machiavelli to keep you from getting back to work and completing your insane tasks. No sir-ee Bob. Not a scheme at all. Definitely not schemish. Low value on the schemometer. Utterly lacking in schemoscity. Could not be studied by a schemologisty. Well, might be studiable by a schemologist if the schemologist is doing a case study on something anti-schemic. .
Again, some of you don’t know this other truism, but some of you clearly do. Probably the same set of folks. Anyways… sometimes it is easier to cave in than stand up. “Choosing one’s battles” is a label for it, but more than anything it feels like caving. Yes, Wifey, I caved! You weren’t there! You don’t know!!! It was a warzone man! People were leaving left and right of us! We were just sitting in the car... I thought orange rice would assuage the beast in the seat, but it didn’t! It couldn’t. The beast beat me. Beat me, I say! BEAT MEEEEEEEE. To make a long story short, Little Man got a Sprite from McDonald’s on the way home. It was the only way… THE ONLY WAY!
To recap:
I still have a shit ton of stuff to do today
I do not have a shit-ton of time left to do it
World of Warcraft’s Burning Crusade Expansion is really nice
I gotta get in stupid early tomorrow
Wifey has apparently discovered Pandora.com
Thanks a bunch JW!!!
She loves it
I can’t access it from work; therefore, I hate her
Little Man is at a friend’s house today
Let’s hope he naps, and we’re all still friends after they have him alone for 5 hours
Have a great weekend

Thanks for the insight Mr. SRH!
In preparation for this very dilemma, I have decided to create the Strap on Bowl Face Feeder.
You see, it's a slightly oval-shaped bowl with velcro straps which can be extended around the back of any poky child's head. It will have a fitted funnel type thing affixed to one end which will permit the food to slide down and enter the mouth. "This way, busy parents who are always on the go won't be hindered by their children who just cant grasp the importance of mommy or daddy's scheduling needs." (That line most certainly will be included in the pitch) I've been toying with the idea of attaching racing stripes and flame decals to the bowl to give it a "Go go go!" type of feel, but I'm not sure...
Anyway, if you're interested in financing-uh, jumping on board, just contact me and I'll be more than happy to draw up some paperwork.
Good Weekend.
I just checked out pandora.com. I think you have saved my life. Thank you.
JW:
Ummm... good luck with that venture. I am sure there is a market out there. Where? I am not sure, but do a market study and that should identify your suckers... umm potential market base.
peefer:
I cannot get to Pandora.com from work. I now hate you as well as Wifey.
Glad you're enjoying World of Warcraft. For my friends and me, it's Guild Wars, as K will confirm. I used to read, and sometimes watch TV, and even write the occasional blog entry -- but this was before I undertook my sacred duties as a Warrior/Necromancer of Ascalon.
As for the non-scheming scheme, just keep in mind that destiny has bonded you to a tiny person whose role in life is to spend your money and break your stuff. You've been a parent almost twice as long as I have, so I'm surprised this isn't tattooed on your arm or something by now.
Allrileyedup:
Pandora has some issues with the band Cake. Other than that it has been pretty darn awesome.
B:
I am not a PVP guy, so Guild Wars was not a big draw for me. Too many asshats in the world to PVP.
"destiny has bonded you to a tiny person whose role in life is to spend your money and break your stuff" would be quite the tattoo.
