My Monthly

Here it is almost the end of January and I havn't posted anything on my blog. I've just been cruising over other peoples' blogs, they seem a lot more interesting. There's a young suburban wife blog I hit almost daily just to see what those two are up to. Wish I could get my wife to do that! Blogging has become a sort of monthly thing for me, my monthly!
I post my poetry on poetry.com, what poetry they'll take according to their editorial limits and requirements. I have a great poem about just being a guy and my addiction to my dick but they wouldn't take it because I used the word penis in it. It's called " My Dilemma". Another one I wrote about being at one with God and the universe and perfect and balance and such before birth I had to re-write because they wouldn't take my original poem with the word sperm in it.
Sometimes when I write a poem it just goes over the required 20 lines or less, no more than 60 characters per line and God help me with what language and wording I use. Their requirements force me to tweak and tune my poetry to fit their guidelines. Sometimes I can do it other times I feel like there's and editor/slave driver/ task master type who's forcing me to do it his way. I wonder if Shakespeare had to fight editors or submit to editorial requirements?
This month started off pretty shitty- I was sick- we were all sick with some kind of virus making it's rounds through my house. I'm not one to call in sick but I've already called in twice this month alone. Raging fever, body aches, cough, the ugly list of signs and symptoms I don't won't to go back and recall.
It tore through me, then my wife, then our girls. The girls seem to always take it the worse, their temperatures shot up to 102.8 and all degrees between. Great thing children are so resiliant when it comes to illness and injury, they just bounce right back. It sure plays hell and havoc with their parents mindset though. I hate to see my children suffer illnness, after all I am a nurse. It's one thing for me to go to work and care for the sick and injured but to do so in my own house is a totally different ball game.
January rolls on and I still have to get my shit together with working out, running, cycling and such. At leastI started off going back to church, church is always a good start. I still have property taxes to pay before the end of this month, looks like I'm going to end up paying some penalties. I still have to get an inspection sticker for my wife's car, it expired the end of October 05.
Anyway, I better get away from this computer and get my ass in gear while I still feel motivated to do such. Early bird gets the worm!
