    The (Not So) Unfortunate Series of Events & the Garbage Man Joe Book

    NewsFix and Garbage Man Joe
    Well Friends, just when I think the Garbage Man Joe stories are getting old, someone contacts me to learn more.

    A few months ago I was contacted by a big prime time television show. They had found the news clips of Garbage Man Joe and were determined to have all 3 kids on to talk about their business.

    We went around and around, pulling up the old stories, writing down the new stories, sending in videos, taking current photos, measuring the kids for wardrobe, filing work permits, collecting permission slips from the schools, booking airline tickets and more. This was going to be unlike any other Garbage Man Joe story we had told before.

    And just a few days before we were set to leave, they called to "reschedule". Now, they did say reschedule and it is possible they will reschedule... but a lot depends on how their current schedule goes... so I will keep the quotes around reschedule for now.

    So, for a day I was disappointed. The next day I decided to reschedule my newly found free time. As I cleaned off my desk and sorted through the work permits and Garbage Man Joe stories, I decided that the unfortunate series of events may have actually been quite fortunate.

    I took the old Garbage Man Joe stories and added in the new stories, and published my very first ebook!

    I am very excited to share with you the best accidental parenting I ever did. To learn more about the business and the book, please go HERE. And since it is brand new and I am still figuring out the shopping cart, please use code "PrimeTime" for 60% off (before Friday 11/6/15)!

    This book would not have been pulled together had we spent the week in Los Angeles... and it turns out that disappointment can lead to good things. Get to the shopping cart HERE and be sure to use code "PrimeTime" before Friday 11/6/15!
