What's The Secret???

How do working parents have time to do anything?

Work from 8 am until 2-4 pm [depending on the work load...]. Super fantastic commute of about 45 minutes...can take over an hour if traffic is particularly heinous.

Once I get home, I've got to figure out what to do for dinner and get the kiddo going on his homework. If I get to leave work around 2 pm, then there's usually some time for me to get some stuff done around the apartment or for me to take a quick shower...but this is really more the exception than the norm.

Around 5pm, I start cooking dinner [if I haven't already started]...and I try and have it finished by 5:45 - 6 pm.

From 6 pm until about 7 pm, I'm either cleaning, running errands, or attempting to entertain the kiddo. If I'm lucky...the boyfriend and I will get to play some sort of child-friendly video game for a little bit....usually some game that the kiddo likes to play or watch...

7 pm to 8 pm is time for the kiddo's shower/bath, getting things together for the next school day, and getting ready for bedtime.

Around 8 pm is the kiddo's bedtime...after reading him a story and all that good stuff, it's pretty much 8:30 pm.

8:30.

Most weekday mornings, I get up somewhere between 5 - 6 am...so I'm dragging butt if I don't get to sleep before 11:30 pm.

Maybe I'm just not making the most of the time between the kiddo's bedtime and my own...but it sure doesn't feel like enough time to get anything accomplished!

Sooooo, there's the basic timeline of my weekday....

Any suggestions on how I should tweak it? Or is the real secret that working parents don't ever acutally do anything fun and they just pretend to?? /ponders

I Rule Hyrule!

Soooo, I should probably apologize for yesterday's post.

/siggggghhhhhh....I'm sorry I couldn't stop myself from writing a non-descript, vague rant post...everyone knows those are the worst...well...after liberal support posts, that is. Bazinga!

Glad to get that out of the way...

If didn't have any reason to use GoogleMaps this past Friday, then you missed out on one of the coolest Easter Eggs of all time. Of. All. Time!

Behold!

It's so cute!

Last Friday [3/4/16 for those reading this post significantly later than the post-date...], the GoogleMaps guy was dressed up as Link! 

As any good nerd would, I completely exploded with excitement when I noticed that my little desktop companion was replaced by a tiny duplicate of my favorite rpg hero...no, for real...things got loud. /chuckle

Anyway...

Google did this to commemorate the release of the Twilight Princess, remastered for the WiiU! [Super awesome move, Google!] 

Which, because I can't help myself...

Do take note of the awesome
quilt...thank you, HoneyBear <3

I bought myself a copy of on Saturday!!

It came in this really cool bundle-box with a Wolf Link Amiibo...not sure if that was some special thing that Target was doing or if all copies came like that...

Sooooo, who wants to help me play this game? Any takers?

Seriously?

Ugggggggh.

I hate people.

Even worse??

I hate that I hate people.

Frack.

*Should probably clarify that I don't actually hate all people...just a select few....

**You'd also think that I'd know better than to angry-blog...but...friggin' jeez! &*#$@$&*#%(@!!!!
