First month

It's been almost a month since I started school, and I am loving it. I have learned so much in such a short period of time it's amazing. Although I really could have used this knowledge of Microsoft Office Suites at my last job, it's better late than never. Some nights my brain does turn to mush, but that's ok. It means I'm learning.

Thank you all for your response. I guess the consensus on raising a kid and knowing what it needs is just to wing it. Go on instinct. My instinct with older kids is pretty solid, but babies..... I guess I'm just afraid I'm gonna break em. Then again, an old friend told me that's tough to do, that they bounce right back. I hope she's right, but I don't think I'll test that theory.

Speaking of old friends, these past few weeks have been an adventure in the past. Three old friends have come out of the woodwork to say hi. It was very exciting to speak with them again. We shared so many great memories, awkward looks, inside jokes, and OMG moments. Just catching up and hearing everything they've done over the last 10+ years is worth the wait. I just don't want to let another ten years go by again without them in my life.

Next, the housing project is going smooth again. Kitchen was torn up on Saturday, and I thought it was going to be a one day job. NOPE!! Didn't get done till Sunday afternoon. But it's done right!! There is a funny story about the cooktop, but I'll get into that later. And another funny story about how I tried to electrocute myself too. I can be dangerous at times. I am tired, but I am not doing all this for me. I am doing it for my child. They deserve a home worthy of living in.

Finally, I teared up yesterday. Wifey went for another sonogram and the office made a DVD of it, since I couldn't be there. Her first trimester is almost over, and some features are becoming visible. But what brought me to my knees was what I saw. I saw the baby move. I almost lost it. There will soon be a little version of me running around the world.


.........my friends should be frightened.
