Functionally ReTodded

In honor of Thanksgiving, today I will give you a list of things I’m thankful to know.

1. Getting up at 4am with two of your three kids and being up for the day produces a tired that is similar to "Holy shit! We have a four week old baby!" tired.
2. There are few feelings more annoying than getting off the highway half a mile from your office and realizing you’ve left your backpack (containing your laptop) at home.
3. Realizing that this wouldn’t have happened if you had let your three year old do the morning inventory.  "Daddy…you got you keys?  You got you phone?  You got you packpack?  You got you ipod?"
4. If you are dressed for work at 5am, that’s two more hours of opportunity a giant sticky booger has a chance to jump from one of your kids’ noses (or fingers) and on to your shirt.
5. Leaning over to kiss your oldest child goodbye and having her sneeze at the second you make contact is more than a little disconcerting.  Actually the fact that I didn’t return the favor by vomiting on her was a testament to my love for her. I think.
6. The amount of time wasted in the workplace on Facebook is mind-boggling.  It’s also WAY worse than blogging.

That’s all for now.  I’m about to curl up in the server room for a nap.  Wake me when it’s time to go lunch at the elementary school.

Not like that you jackass.  I’m having lunch with my daughter.  Sheesh.
