Zzzzzzzzzzzzz

Sleep is a rare commodity in my house right now. With nursing and pumping it takes about 90 minutes to feed Trey. And then before you know it, BOOM!!! Time to feed him again. At least wifey is tryin to sleep when the baby sleeps. Hopefully it gets better sooner rather than later. And thank goodness for family. Wifeys sister is kind enough to let her and the baby stay there while I'm at school.

Yup, school. I'm tired. But I can't do like I did in high school and lay my head down. Back then there were 30 kids in the classroom and I could hide. Today, only three students. Maybe I should get a camel pack and fill it with coffee. :)

Baby!!

Ok, so I am a day late on posting this, but I have an excuse. I've only slept 2-3 hours in the last 40 hours. Wifey gave birth on 11-7-13, 8:10 pm. 6lbs 12oz. Michael Patrick Lamm III. He is beautiful. And he bonded with me quickly. Whenever I pick him up he calms down. Hope he doesn't get spoiled. But even through all this, I was able to get through my first chapter in my Windows Server class. Talk about a dull dry read. 

Just a quickie post tonite. See ya soon!!

The carpet between my toes feels so good!

I've been living in my house for over 10 years and we finally decided to get carpet. See, when we moved in the carpet was so nasty it wasn't worth saving so we pulled it up and lived with hardwood floors ever since. But now that the baby is almost here I thought it would be a good idea to get some sort of padding. And it feels soooooooooo good. Its been too long since I was able to go barefoot comfortably. Plus I won't freeze my feet off this winter in the morning!! Winning!!!

Speaking of baby, hes almost here. But tomorrow is going to be difficult. Go to school until 2, rush home, get to the doctor by 3, admit wifey by 4, rush home to eat dinner and change, work by 6, then after work shower and finally rush BACK to the hospital to stay the night. And to top it all off, the medication they are going to give her can put her into labor anywhere from 15 minutes to 24 hours. So I may have to drop everything as soon as I get back to town to go right back to the hospital. DAMN!! Pray for my sanity!! But at least she and the baby are all I have to worry about now. I aced my final for Security+. Two classes to go and I graduate!!!! Winning!!!

I'm in a weird mood tonite. Tired, but excited. Overwhelmed, but still hungry. I am mentally and somewhat physically exhausted, but I want and am ready for more. Is this weird? I am excited over the whole having a kid thing, but I just want the build-up to be over with.........  I know, weird.

Damn time change

I hate this time of year, but only for two days. Don't get me wrong, I love the fact that it gets darker earlier, but I feel like I am up an hour later than normal. I'm just not used to going to work when the sun is setting. And speaking of work I've been bad this year. 

I promised myself after taking a part time job at Domino's I wouldn't gorge myself on the pizza. Sadly I failed at that. I'm still at my lard ass weight, but I haven't gained anymore either. I am certainly glad I am a "glass half full" kind of guy or I would just extremely depressed right now. I keep making excuses in my head about it too. "I'm busy, school and work, preggo wife." I really need to stop doing that. I really need a better job. I really need to get away from Domino's. 

Hopefully that'll happen soon. My instructor mentioned he wants to start a work study program at the school. Have the IT students run the IT at the school, under his supervision of course. 20 hours a week at $10 an hour. I'll take it! It'll get me work experience and help me build my confidence. 

As I am writing this, Domino's just called. One of my deliveries handed me a counterfeit $20 bill. Luckily I had very few cash deliveries tonite so I knew exactly who it was. The cops are at the store right now and they needed a description of the people in the home. I hope they get their asses arrested. They had their kid hand me the money. He couldn't have been more than 7 years old. And they're probably gonna say well the kid gave him the money, not our fault, the driver should've known. Scumbags. There is a special place in hell for people who use kids to do illegal things. 

Dude, do you even BLOG?!

Hi all! Its been way too long, but I think I have enough time to come back on a regular basis to keep in contact with all 7 of you. Well, hopefully still 7. I would love to hear how you been doing, but I'll start with me. First, recent news, wifey is about to pop. That's right, four more days until the baby arrives. I am very excited and scared at the same time. I know I'll be fine and I know I shouldn't worry so much, but I can't help it. It also doesn't help when I am not getting much sleep, but that's a different story. See, wifey has been in and out of the hospital for three weeks. Not by her choice either. Let me tell you those fold out beds in L & D aren't very comfortable. But I suppose they make em that way to keep the daddys alert, too. Shes doing fine, so that's good. They were just precautionary stays.

Once the baby is here I will have two more months of school left. I am STOKED!! I have learned so much from that school and my instructors, I am very grateful. I've already gotten one certification under my belt. TestOut PC Pro. It's a new certification, but its more hands on than A+. Next up for me, however, will be A+. I plan and hope to take it before I graduate. Why? I need a job!!!! No one will hire a green IT Professional with no experience. But if I earn my A+ that should get my foot in the door, at least. And speaking of which, I have a final tomorrow. Security+. I feel good about this one.

That's all I can think of right now. I know 5 months of events can't be summed up in two paragraphs, so I'm not going to try. Plus I'm not used to this time change. I'll keep y'all updated!!
