It's good to be, back?

First things first. My apologies for not standing up to my duties as a parenthood blogger. I guess...well...parenthood got in the way of my blogging! You know, the diapers, the parent pick-ups, the martial arts and capoeira classes, the memorable quotes and many sleepless nights, it's enough to make anyone layoff the the laptop for months! Ah, but alas, along comes the iPad...in all its 9.7" buttonless glory and world of apps. And thanks to BlogPress and $1.99, I'm back in the game! Oh please, you don't have to thank me, but thank my kids college savings account...it took a hit with this purchase.

Back to the matter at hand. I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday. And by the updates on my Facebook and Twitter feeds, it sounds like everyone was blessed with great love, great food, great family, great friends and overall great fortunes. It was (Holy crap! Is that Marc Anthony in The Substitute? Mr JLo? You know...1996...Tom Berenger!?!?! Sorry, late night diversion) all too sweet. So sweet in fact, I wonder if anyone had a disastrous, wickedly bad Thanksgiving! Well, for the first time, probably ever, I did.

Now I'm not hatin' on all the social loving and the fact that great family, friends, and food = a spectacular thankful holiday, but when you throw in there a bout with the stomach flu, all that sh!t goes out the window (no pun intended, well...). I know! Of all times to get the bug...on Thanksgiving day!?!? Cmon man! And to make matters even more festive, all three babies had it too. Thus a true test of patience, fortitude, empathy, and the heavy-soiled setting on the washing machine. I've got a job for you Maytag man!

But it's amazing what a little Gatorade, some saltines and Black Friday will do to the pukes and runsDMC. It left as quick as it came! Everyone was golden today...24 hour bug...it came, had dinner, didn't stick around for small talk, and rudely left without a proper goodbye. Well, I guess that's not a bad thing. And considering everyone is smiling again, I'll take it as the official kickoff to the holiday season.

It's good to be back! On many fronts. And it is Marc Anthony in The Substitute. IMDB.com confirmed...God bless iOS 4.2 and multitasking! Happy holidays.
