Excuse the interruption in your regularly scheduled service. DatSauceGuy�s little boy was overtired last night from a long week of school, playing, school, swimming, and so forth�and five year olds sometimes really show their spent status how?You guessed it!
He had a crying, flailing, kicking, screaming, total-meltdown (Hey, we all FEEL like we could do that sometimes.) His problem here? Well. This little boy does something fun and unusual when he gets overly upset.
He becomes an Olympic hurler.
Man, when he was younger than his current five years�I�d see a barf a week. Too much mucus from a cold? Throw up. Having a tough day? Regurgitate. Cry hard? Keck across the room. And on.
In the interest of avoiding such, your dumb ass� diarist�picked him up�partially PeeJayed, and lugged his sip-sip approaching and soon to spew son-like-self into his own room.
Here DatSauceFellow rocked and held him. Sang a gentle version of the ever-changing words that comprise the nightly decomposition of Brahms Lullaby, and calmed him down. As he got quieted, we laid down, and YerSauceOfAllWarmth held him until he fell out.
Now, any parent will tell you, that leaping up immediately upon the moment your child falls asleep is a no-no. It just doesn�t work. Don�t care if your kid is one or five�you get to wait for the juncture at which the drowse becomes hibernation. You get to try to time things so that the kid has hit a good REM moment and then extract yourself and go about-ch'yer-bizness.
Mostly, this is something that works well, if you are patient enough and brave enough and strong enough. Other times, it is an abysmal failure.
Last night was a case in point, as DatSaucePersonage awoke still tangled in sweaty-son-parts--like puppies in a ball, at 03:30 this morning. So, after getting up, checking e-mule, getting some fresh water and completing some bladder control measures�your intrepid ink-slinger climbed back in�to awake at 07:30.
With 12 hours or so under his belt�DaSauce is almost annoyingly vibrant or completely ready to hit the rack again. Gladly, this morning he is as perky as a nubile human�s nipples. So there. Thus, the missing update.

PS. T'was DatSucked-For-Blowing-You-Off-Guy's intent to do a bit about his take on Male/Female Relationships as a companion piece to DaSauce Explains All Males (really!) last night. That clearly didn't happen. But, YerSauceAge now teases you with a MIGHT do it TONIGHT if the mood hits him squarely between the eyes and causes DatSauce to declaim upon such this evening.
