FatherHood Friday is here again, and I’ve been so busy that I had a hard time coming up with a topic for today. So why not write about how busy I am?! I have good news and bad news. I always like to start with the bad and then cheer up. The bad news is, I’ve been working crazy long hours lately for no additional pay. Really? How much sense does that make? The good news is, starting Sept. 26, I go on a three-day-on, three-day-off schedule. (Applause.) In an effort to get the store ready for such a structure, naturally, there’s some amount of preparation involved. So, in the days and weeks leading up to this change, there have been some crazy long days, which in turn lead to the wife saying things like, ‘You’re son’s not going to know you.’ To which I reply, ‘Hang in there, it’ll all be better soon…’ And it should be. I’ve been working hard to make this change positive for work and my home. But will sacrificing the here and now be worth it?

I tweeted this pic recently with the caption 'The world from my POV', and truly, this is what matters most.

This is not a pity post by any stretch of the imagination. All my co-workers and I can talk about is this exciting new change. Nothing’s set in stone, but if we go with the ‘plan’, I will have Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas off this year! Of course those days will shift next year, but really, we can celebrate things a day or two before or after, right?

Anyway, another reason I’m looking forward to this is that I have some big things planned for this blog and my column over at dad-blogs: Kids Play On The Net. The column has really gotten sacrificed for a couple of months, and the blog is only truly alive Wednesday and Friday.

I’ve been networking and have had someone offer to guest post. I have interviews in the works. Who knows? Maybe I’ll even have a giveaway or two.

AND! I’ll get a lot more time with my family. Simply put: I. Can’t. WAIT!

Stay tuned folks!
