Sheesh. I sit down at my computer to get some bills paid. There are piles everywhere. They dont bother me. I take my phone off my belt and lay it on the counter. I get up to get something in the kitchen (ok, jalapeno potato chips), miss Donna calling me, but think Ill get that later. I happen to see that TJ is playing a game on the PS3 that looks a little too teen-ish, ask him what it is, and he says infamous. Dont worry, theres no blood or bullets, dad. I go back to doing what Im doing. Donna calls. Did you get my message? No, I havent looked yet. Ok, and we talk about plans for the weekend, and by the way can I log in to the office computer for her and send a letter of recommendation for her med student that she typed on the computer in front of me. I hang up. Bummer, I forgot my computer has a glitch with remote access, so I go to the kids computer. TJ has blood splattered all over his PS3 screen. T.J.! you said no blood! Oh, yeah. oops. Well my guy doesnt have bullets and Im not making THEM bleed, see? Ding dong. I go to the front door. Madeline!!! I call back into the abyss of our back hallway. Your drivers ed guy is here. Mr Drivers Ed goes on to explain some long explanation to me about how her last certificate doesnt actually work anymore and could I find it for him, and Im like you dont understand Im the dad, and hes like well dont use it anymore because there was a glitch at the office and it was printed wrong [insert 2 more minutes of talking here and I have no ability to focus on what hes saying but I smile and nod]. Emilie drives into the driveway. Madeline says I need a water bottle and grabs a Kroger water bottle from the fridge and walks out the door. I think to myself Whats with this generation and water bottles? Shes gone for an hour and shes going to dehydrate? Pour some stinkin water from the sink into your plastic water bottle and leave the purchased water bottle for a catastrophic emergency I think to myself. I imagine dollar bills being burned in a furnace and our family kicked out on the street after missing 6 mortgage payments due to the cost of water bottles. I close the door. I come back to the computer to find a text waiting on my phone, and look up to see TJ bloodlessly killing more bad guys with his electrical powers on this non violent PS3 game. Emilie walks in the door and we talk. Mimi walks up to me on the computer. Im bored. I tell her I have plenty of chores for her to do outside. She disappears. I realize I was supposed to be at the kids computer logging into the office computer to do Donnas letter for her. This all happened in about 8 minutes. I wish I actually liked beer. Diet DP will have to do.
