Stress and Lack of Sleep Causes Father to Get Family Banned From The Jehovah's Witness Route

How stress, lack of sleep, a vomiting baby caused a father to snap when one unlucky Jehovah's Witness knocked on the door. "Sleep is a precious commodity in our household." So much so, that we even have a sign to hang on the front door that reads...

This father is the Art Director for a nationally rated website design company who usually writes about design tips, branding, website marketing and related topics. With the revamp of their company blog Pixel Productions Inc., has also added a lighter side to their blog posts where you can even read about the misfortune of one Jehovah's Witness who visited the door of this stressed out designer and parent.

This is a complete deviation from the normal topics covered by Pixel Productions, but one that you will probably find delighting.

Here is a snippet of some of the material you can read about on this graphic design blog pulled from the recent post titled, "Stress, Lack of Sleep And The Misfortune of One Jehovahs Witness That Got My House Blacklisted".

"The facts are. . . I've been walking a pretty thin line lately. I've been working 14 hour days plus weekends for about 2 months straight. I don't want to sound like a cry baby, Nancy, whiner because I am thankful for all the work, but you can't work those kind of hours without losing a little mental integrity. Besides, I only cried that once - just a little.

I drink about 16 cups of coffee to make it through any given day. I have come to the realization that I should possibly replace the coffee with vodka, especially after some of the client meetings I've had lately. At the end of the day I go home to my wonderful family whom I love so much. That being said, I have two kids ages 2 and 9 months. I don't know if you have kids, but it turns out having two young kids so close in age can be a fairly trying experience. And you may not know this about me, but I was not blessed with a tremendous amount of patience. Though, lately I have been given a lot of opportunity to work on that. I'm sure that I'll learn to appreciate it - that is if I live through it. My wife on the other hand has the patience of Job. Luckily for me or I would be writing this from the shed in our back yard.

You might be wondering what all of this has to do with the Jehovah's Witnesses. I'm just laying a little ground work for what happened next. I thought it might help you understand the fragile state of mind that I was in when the "incident" happened.

So, how did stress and lack of sleep cause the Jehovah's Witnesses to black list my door?
Well, I had decided to take a whole weekend off, maybe get a little rest and recharge a little bit. This plan was doomed from the start. Neither of my kids slept at all that night, unless you count that non consecutive 2 hours when everybody's eyes were closed as sleep. So, when the whole family got up at 5 am you might be able to imagine how thrilled I was to face the day.

A couple hours passed, we ate breakfast and then, out of nowhere, my 2 year old daughter began projectile vomiting all over my wife, the couch, a chair, the floor and the dog. It was like something out the Exorcist. I know that line's been used a lot, but not by anyone who's ever meant it! I spent the next hour and a half cleaning the couch, the chair, the floor, the dog and of course my daughter. Don't worry, my wife took a shower."
