A Journal Entry for April 24, 2015

I should have woken up earlier than I did today.  It was 6:30AM.  Then it was 7, then 7:09am, 7:18, almost 7:30 before I finally woke up.  I always check the TV news websites for the latest industry news and gossip before I get out of bed.

Earlier this morning, I had a bad dream where my big screen TV was gone as two of my old family friends came over for a visit.  Thankfully, my TV is still in tact.

Also, I dreamed I was visiting my former CNN co-workers and cast members from "The Young and the Restless" in Augusta, Maine (Not Augusta, GA).

The best part of my day is when I see my son Ben as he's getting up and awake/  I get to pick him up, give him his sippy cup of milk, and give him lots and lots of kisses.

The hard part of being a dad is administering diaper changes and redirecting him.

I spent more than two hours listening to the radio on Sirius/XM.  I listened to a lot of 1st wave with Larry the Duck and Madison.  I think Ben likes the music; I know I do.

My Ben didn't seem too interested in playing toys today.  I made him mad when I took away the mouse from Kelly's computer, butt-pasts tube, and when I redircted him from palces he didn't need to be.

I must suspend now as I must get Ben's lunch ready, watch/listen to "The Bold and The Beautiful", and taking a shower for my half-day at work later tonight.

After I got cleaned up and watched another cliff-hanger episode of B&B, Ben woke up.  I got him all diapered up and read for lunch.  Earlier than I thought, I read parts of 3 books.  I also read parts of the "Marietta Daily Journal" and Sports Illustrated.

I made some leftover pot roads for Ben.  He also got some yummy puffs as an appetizer.  At first, Ben was constantly coughing after and sometimes during his bites of lunch.

I thought I was doing the right thing by picking him up and patting him on the back.  I tried to put him back down in his high chair and boy did he pitch a fit.  So I put him down and ended his meal.

I know I'm the parent, and I have to be firm.  I have a heart too, but I have to be firm.  I know what it was like to be a kid once.

Ben ptched a fit after I took away his "toys" like my CBS46 water bottle, TV remote, right to sit near a filthy, filthy floor, and taking him away form the park in Acworth.

Today was the first time I ever took him to the park in Acworth.  I got to push him on the swing more thn 500 times, and we loved it.  Also, going to the park is a good way to meet other parents so that Kelly and I could meet other people.

I felt bad for my wife.  She had to commute almost 2 hours from work just to get home.  I'm glad I didn't have to drive to work earlier today.  My wife might have been late getting Ben from daycare.

I got to help feed Ben some warm dinner at first.  He rejected the pat roast again.  We went on to feed him pieces of turkey and cheese.  It got us through in a pinch.

I left home to go to work by 7:30pm.  I got settled in and met one of our new MMJ's, eh.

Anyway, I spent time editing VOs, watching the "Bruce Jenner Interview" on ABC, watched Rockets/Mavericks, and a little bit of Clippers/Spurs.  I didn't see a drop of the Braves 1-0 loss to the Phillies.

I went home just after midnight.  I mssed the big 40 countdown on SiriusMX.  I did hear SiriusMX first wave party out of bounds, WSB-FM, Power 96.1, and The Fish 104.7.

I went to RaceTrac to get my wife and I some fizzies.  I even went to McDonald's only to back out at the last minute becuase the line was way too long.
