8:06 Start thinking about what I want to post

8:07 "MOM! I want some milk!"

8:08 Find a sippy cup, wash it out, fill with milk.

8:09 "I wanna be a ninja!"

8:10 Help child put on ninja costume.

8:11 Still don't know what to post about. Check a few blogs to see if there's anything good.

8:14 "Mom! He's eatin' 'at!" (the dog) "Then tell him 'off!' and take it away."

8:15 "He's still eatin' 'at!" Get up from the computer, remove toy from dogs mouth, walk to child's room, toss toy in and shut door.

8:16 Still don't know what to post. Read a few more blogs. Find out about April's giveaway. Punch out a quick post for that, add the button.

8:21 "He's eatin' 'at!" "Then tell him off and take it away." "I can't!!!"

8:22 Remove dirty diaper from dogs mouth. Put in garbage. Close door firmly to child's room.

8:26 Click "Create" and wait for inspiration to strike.

8:27 No inspiration.

8:28 Remove another toy from dog's mouth, lock door to child's room.

8:30 Read another blog.

8:32 "He's on a couch!! He's eatin' 'at!!" Remove another diaper from dog's mouth, considered cleaning so that dogs have nothing to chew, immediately rejected insane idea. Tell dog to get off couch.

8:33 Child hollars from locked room. Oops. Let child out.

8:35 Read another blog while children climb all over computer desk, actually saying, "I help you see!"

8:36 "What's his name?" Optimus Prime. "What's his name?" Bumble Bee.

8:37 Smiling as Spiderman sings, "Pansfarmers! More an ees an eye. Opmus Crying to a rescue! Bumbee to a rescue!!"

8:40 Start cataloging my minutes, realizing this is all the inspiration I'm going to get.

8:41 "I got hurt!" Give kisses.

8:42 "Mom! He's eatin' 'at!" Take another toy away from dogs. Make sure children are out of room. Lock door. Remind self of great love for husband and therefore resolve not to kill dogs.

8:43 Call it good enough and click "Publish."
