For those of you who have been on the edge of your seat since my September post, the votes are finally in, the ballots have been counted, the red (and somewhat stained) carpet has been rolled out, and the winner of the Parent Of The Year Award here on Cloud Eight is … Hey there. Stop rifling through the goodies in your POTY Award giftbag and pay attention. There will be plenty of time later to enjoy that sample size Head and Shoulders shampoo and leftover Halloween candy each lucky attendee will be taking home.
Anyway, the winner is … whoa, a dark horse candidate has swept in from nowhere to claim the prize. No, not Hillary Clinton. This is Illinois damn it, Obama country. Anyway, we are pleased to announce that this year’s award goes to none other than ... Suzy the Nanny.
That’s right, when it came right down to it, despite a year of solid parenting by both me and Deanna, neither of us were able to really distinguish ourselves from the crowd (I made a last ditch effort, but my attempt to potty-train 18-month old Cooper only pissed the boy off, sending my hopes, but nothing else, swirling down the drain). In the end, it is only right to give the nod to our awesome nanny who, in addition to taking such great care of the kids on a daily basis, keeps our chaotic lives and household afloat in a myriad of ways. She is, in all seriousness, truly a blessing. Well done, Suzy.
All right, enough of that, lets eat some three-month old Nerds.

18 months old and potty training already? Damn! My youngest is 15 months and I can't see starting him on the training until at least 2 years. My bag was missing the candy by the way. Please contact my agent directly and have a complete gift bag forwarded to my offices. You can have Suzy hand deliver it if you'd like. She sounds great and I'm looking for a new office assistant. Congrats!
