The House Dad - by Jonathan Rosen

Post Memorial Day and baseball.

May 29th 2007 14:24
Hello All,
Hope everybody had a fantastic weekend. We had a busy one. Had some friends in from NY and they are staying near Miami. For those of you that don't know me, I am a homebody. I do not like travelling a long distance. Vacations, I do like going other places, but when I'm not on vacation, I don't like traveling far from the house. They stayed an hour away form us and while I know it is not very long, I don't like it, especially on a Friday of a holiday weekend when there is a lot of traffic. We go and I am watching the clock so we can beat rush hour back home. I keep pushing,but my wife says we can't leave yet. Any guesses who won? Needless to say, we hit traffic and were sitting in it. Hate when I'm right. We also had their daughter and my nephew sleep over, so we had a house full of kids making a ton of noise. More fun. We took them all to see Shrek 3 on Saturday and my father wasn't feeling well, so there went my babysitter for my 17 month old. We had to take her and it was murder. She was noisy and all over the place, my wife had to take her out to the aisle behind a barrier to the exit and watch the movie from there. At least I got to see it. As for the movie itself, I thought it was good and funny, but not nearly as good as the first two. This felt a little bit slapped together, but the kids still enjoyed it a lot, so who cares about anything else? To end the weekend, we saw my friend's wife again and her mother who was also here on vacation. My friends had already gone back to NY, so his mother-in-law, had free reign. She even mentioned how she always had hopes that her daughter could have done better, but as long as her daughter was happy. My mouth dropped open. What a *****! Unbelievable.

On to baseball, I had a great weekend baseball wise. Mets swept, the Braves got swept, the Red Sox swept and the yankees got swept. It was a perfect 12-0 for me. what a perfect weekend.

As far as my business that I attempted, it is looking like a no-go. I am angry ay having used up a money that I don't have. I went into it with a friend and somebody that he knew that was good at web development. I laid out all of the money. Now, I started the Inc. And I said that until I am paid back, I am the only one on the bank account. This guy had a big problem with it and said that he would drop out if that were the case. I have already paid this guy to start and told him that when I am paid back my investment, we become partners and he can go on as well, but he dropped out after i paid all of this money. Anybody think I'm wrong? My friend is actrually the one who told me that I should be the only one on the account. Oh well. On to something else, I guess, but I a m plenty steamed now.
Lastly, the editor I hired has told me that I should start looking for agents. So I am plenty excited. Keep your fingers crossed.
Later,
Jonathan
