I love grocery shopping.  You know why? It’s the one time during the week I can predict what’s going to happen (right now, I shall buy cold cuts, and when the helpful person behind the deli counter asks if I would also like to buy the Provolone they have on special, I will accept that offer with glee!). Also, I can actually check 50 things off a list in the span of an hour. That makes me feel like a rock star.  A grocery shopping rock star? Is this BusyDad guy nuts? No… I’m just a working dad doing his darndest to bring home the bacon and fry it, too, which is pretty much like walking and chewing gum while juggling cabbage and singing “Thriller.” Backwards. So, of course I share these misadventures on my blog, The Busy Dad Blog , and now here on Highchair Critics. I figure if you’re a parent of a baby in Huggies Little Movers diapers, there’s really nothing I can say that will shock you. I can’t compete with poop explosions. I won’t even try. I try enough as it is. My life revolves around getting things done, or more realistically, simply keeping up. It has to. At work, it’s all about the deliverables. Crossing things off that whiteboard. At home, it’s all about using what limited time I have to make sure the kids can recognize my face and makedinnerchangethelightbulbpacklunchkillspiderfixthefaucetbalancethebudgetchangediapers. Also, I have an eight month old daughter. You would think that keeping up with a baby who can barely crawl would be easy. Actually, no, you wouldn’t — you all have babies too. I am among friends (“utter confusion loves company”). Nothing about any of this is predictable. This biting off more than I can chew thing does have its pitfalls. I may get confused and perform SWOT analysis on my diaper changing proficiency (which is why I stick to Huggies - a pro needs the best tools, right?) or reference dinosaurs in a business proposal every once in a while.  But you know what?  If I didn’t dive headfirst into this craziness, I’d miss out on this.  And that would be nuts.  - Jim, Busy Dad Blog
