I really wasn't expecting it to be this hard. Dan traveled a lot when Scarlett was a newborn, and that was exhausting too, but something about working full-time and then coming home to two toddlers (one of whom refuses to go to bed before 9:30) is beyond difficult.
So, first I'd like to give a shout out to all the working, single moms. Holy crap, you ladies deserve an award! Second, while I would like to whine some more about poor me getting my ass kicked by a bunch of half-pints, I really just wanted everyone to know why I haven't been blogging.
And since I am sleep deprived and clearly on the road to depression, here's a fun exercise ... a way for you all to make me feel better. (I stole the idea from a local radio show.) PLEASE entertain me with your witty comments. I need something to keep me awake until at least 10 p.m. And I might even give a prize.
Name something that the Internet has ruined forever.
Their list included:
- Rick Astley (have you been "Rick Rolled?")
- Cats (Because everyone is bothering the poor cats with photo taking for funny captions on Internet sites. Whatever, cats. Get over it.)
- Watching TV with other people
- Motivational posters (I think we are okay with this one, right?)
- Phone books
- Newspapers
- Tom Cruise
- Porn (Because it's no longer mysterious and hard to come by ... and yes, I avoided the obvious joke there ... whaaa. Poor porn guys. It's all so common now.)
- Journalism (I think that might be a dig at bloggers!)
- Privacy
-- The B.S. Cafe is now serving a large helping of parental exhaustion with a side of "what the hell happened to my life?"

Shopping! How the eff am I supposed to want to buy anything I can't try on first hand?
"Name something that the Internet has ruined forever."
Encyclopedias (hey, shut up, at least I know I’m a dork)
My free time… (AH ha… that’s funny… like I have any.)
Oh yea, one more… journaling, now it’s called blogging or something.
Ah ha... I think I've got the best one... One thing the internet has ruined forever...
Good old fashioned letter writing... which I believe is now referred to as Snail Mail!
Personally... I like getting a surprise letter or card in the real mail occassionally!!
Motivational posters... Oh boy... I'm just waiting for my "Xanadu" to be added to the list of them going around! Please tell me you wouldn't be able to tell that was me if you didn't know that was me in the picture! Ugh!!
The internet is ruining censorship.
As far as the radio answers go:
The internet didn't ruin watching TV with others - multiple channels and videos did. When there was only one channel, everyone used to watch together. Once there were loads people started arguing about what to watch.
Paper newspapers are still around, so I don't think they've been ruined. However, I can't buy the papers I want to read physically (since I live in the wrong country), so I'm glad I can look at them online.
I'm not sure it's ruined privacy. In some ways, it's much easier to hide your personal details in online social things such as blogging than it would be in a bar or at a party.
Looking for a hooker in the middle of the night when you have a booner, you can order them on Craig's list now.....or so I've heard.
Did I win? did I win?
What the internet has ruined forever
My (hang on a second just got an email, gotta check that) attention (there's the IM bingbong, be right back) span.
booger picking
needs no explanation
Waiting for a movie to come to theaters.
In fact, waiting for anyhting ;)
Dan said "booner" bwahahahaha!
Uh, my waist/butt/time.
Okay here is one that actually stretches to the phone as well.
Being in the moment. During the last two concerts (John Mayer and Dave Matthews) the people around me were texting and posting to FB. I couldn't believe it. Who can't just sit and listen to music anymore.
On the other hand the cell phone wave instead of the lighter wave is safer! You can't burn your finger on the cell phone keypad.
Also hang in there with the single motherhood. You will get into a routine and things will get easier.
