I’ve been a little under the weather here lately. As in my soul has been slowly leeched out of my body by nefarious villains of the universe and the joy I like to spout off about has been sucked out of my body similar to how one happily slurps a strawberry milkshake through a too small straw.
It’s been tough slogging through the crap here lately which is why I asked my favorite wieners to step in and why I haven’t been posting regularly on my blog.
I’ve put off posting for weeks now because quite frankly, I have nothing humourous to say. And that is the whole point of this blog. To find the humour in my life, to remind me to find joy where ever it’s hiding.
Except I must have counted a bit longer than I was supposed to when my eyes were squeezed shut and my joy tip toed off to play a game of hide and seek. I’m still wandering around seeking while my joy is hiding in the trees. I never was any good at that game. Damn.
We’re having some adoption woes and I’m afraid they are getting the better of me. That is all I can say on that subject without getting spanked. I’m bound by legalities and oral contracts to keep my big yap shut.
It’s been tough dealing with the emotional roller coaster I bought tickets for while my husband has been off flirting with hot babes out in the oil patch. I don’t care what he says, those toothless hairy chicks are sexy. I defy anyone to prove me wrong.
But my gorgeous and terribly sweet Boo is riding his white steed (or in his case a dirty blue GM) and galloping his way back into my arms as we speak, er type. Nothing like having the comfort of massively muscled arms wrapped around a girl to make the world seem brighter and bring my joy back out of hiding.
Only this time, darlin’, could you please remember to put the lube and the sexy toys away after we use them and not toss them onto the chair beside the bed?
I’m really tired of trying to explain why there is a penis shaped vibrating toy beside our bed. I think the kids are onto us and aren’t buying the whole “they are for Daddy’s bad back” explanation.
Just so you know.
As for all of you, my sincerest apologies for being a slack ass these last couple of weeks. Stay with me and I promise I’ll have my funny back before you can say ‘vibrating back massager.’
I know, I suck. Or at least, tonight my husband hopes I will.
Wink.

The important thing is that you suck with gusto.

Aw, I’m sorry your joy is lost. I hope things get better for you soon. Your post still made me laugh though. Take care.

Wait a minute!! You’re…you, Tanis….you’re HUMAN???? !!!!!!
(I’m devastated !!)
You do what you need to do, babydoll. I don’t think anyone’s going anywhere.
Also, good joojoo for your adoption woes. You’re a wonderful, deserving lady and that has to count for a hell of a lot. It’ll work out.

ms. tanis.. ya know something… recent studies have shown that “boy butter” is an anti depressant for women… ( I’d open my own clinic here in New England, but we do have sodomy laws on the books…still) check the Internet boys and girls, it being proven… however, there is a side effect….children…
so after a few doses of ‘boy butter’/anti depressant, you and your beaux will be happy as clams at high tide…

You don’t suck. Life sucks sometimes, but defintely not you. You’re what got me into blogging. If I hadn’t found you and your life, I’d still be vegetating on the couch watching “All My Children” during my son’s naptime. Now I try to entertain a few people every day.
So you take all the time you need…we’ll be here when you find your funny or at least you’re smile.

You could read the ingredients to cake mix and still be funny.

Hey, this happens to everyone– no big deal. I know everyone will be around whenever you have something to say. Just like the kids are always around when there are things out they shouldn’t see.

Um, I think your kids are going to need therapy when they’re teens and they realize what they were seeing on the chair beside your bed for all these years… LOL!! Kidding! Kinda.
I think you’re funny even when you’ve lost your funny. Thanks for keeping it real! Feel better!

There is no perfect writer. There are maybe times that writers or perhaps comic persons appear blank in front of an audience. Anyhow, at least you took a shot in making people laugh. That’s something!

Its always nice to try to make lighter one’s surrounding by way of cracking jokes and comic strips, but by that virtue, it really is very sound and astounding a gesture. Keep it up!!

There’s no need to apologize. (:
By “adoption,” I’m assuming you guys are planning on adopting. I wish you the best of luck. I would love to adopt, eventually.

That seems to be going around these days…
I’m sure you’ll be back to your old self in no time.
