Some weeks just don’t go like you expected.  All the planning in the world simply can’t make up for the things that didn’t go the way they should have, and I suppose that’s the real reason for this TT.  No matter how hard I tried, something always got in the way of researching what I actually wanted to do this list about.

So instead of that list, which I will endeavor to complete by the Next Thursday Thirteen, I give you

Thirteen reasons I don’t have a better Thirteen:

  1. The dog needed my atention
  2. My son needed my attention
  3. everyone I have ever met in my life has called over the past few days, and a few people I’ve never spoken to before wanted to chat for hours as well.
  4. I’ve been working on this project, and this website as often as possible.
  5. I’ve started writing for Associated Content.  Check out my articles here!
  6. Sick child cleanup…  Need I really describe this?
  7. We’ve spent four nights out late running errands and other necessities.
  8. Father’s day weekend cut into work time a bit… (But I’m not complaining about this one.)
  9. A nap was needed on Monday to help recover from Father’s Day. (Again, I’m not complaining, but I lost a few hours)
  10. An entire day was spent trying to get my ex to agree to let my sons come out from California, then trying to work out the details.  Time well spent, IMHO.
  11. There was a No Reservations Marathon on at some point…
  12. I spent an entire day just chatting with my wife and watching movies.
  13. And the final reason I’ve got nothing better to offer than excuses as to why I have nothing better to offer is…   Well, I don’t have one.  The week has been busy and it’s been hectic, but all-in-all I really can’t complain.  Just check back next week for something a little more representative of the message of this site.

Have a great day, everyone!

    I am glad I am not the only one who had a hard time doing a TT this week! :)

    It must be something in the air this week. I too got stuck and slapped a haphazard TT together at the last minute instead of what I’d originally planned.

  3. Melli says:

    Personally, I think this is one of the BETTER 13’s I’ve seen! LOL!

  4. I can soo related. I think every single one of those has happened this week – so much stuff – all good – Thank God!

    I know how that is when it seems like everyone calls at once. And it’s usually when I don’t have the time to talk.

    We all have weeks like that—and I think you have some really good reasons!

  12. Rims says:

    Hah and I thought I am the only one who gets stuck doing things that have never been planned…
    Happy TT!

  13. I also almost missed this week’s TT. But still you (we) came up with one so it’s good! Happy TT!

  14. Denise says:

    OK, I feel better now. But, at least you try to plan ahead. I’m usually trying to come up with something on Wednesday evening.

    Happy TT!
