Amazing

Not sure if anyone notices or cares, but I have been working like a DOG! No, I haven't found a job yet.... Full time anyway... But between working part time, school full time, and renovating the house... I needed a day off. I was so very glad to hear my helper couldn't make it today. Two bathrooms, hall, living and dining room, and kitchen have new coats of paint. New toilets and sinks in the bathrooms. New counter tops and sink go into the kitchen Sunday. Its amazing what news of a baby on the way will do. This fire under me is burning hot!!!

School is going ok, for the most part. Lets just say Microsoft Access ISN'T my friend. And I can't say I'm never gonna use it, because I don't know if I will or not. But I think I could handle everything.... If it wasn't for the slow pace. I understand that people learn at different paces, but this class is going so damn slow that we are still behind. I have a midterm on Monday that covers some material we haven't touched yet. I have sympathy for the slow learners, but this is an accelerated course, fellas. P.S., does anyone have a copy of Access I can borrow?  ;)

Wifey had her second appointment last week, and we both got to hear the heartbeat. This is becoming more real everyday. But I have these constant worries... How will I know WHAT the baby wants based on a cry? Hungry? Gassy? Change me? Hold me? I dunno!!! Maybe I should do all of it until the baby stops crying. Am I worrying too much too soon? Wifey isn't due until November. Should we buy a bunch of stuff now so we don't have to later? No, maybe not.. AARRRRGGGHHHH!!!!!! Any, and I mean ANY advice anyone can offer would be helpful.

But I think I should stop focusing on the things I cannot control.... We both got to hear the heartbeat last week.


.......... We both got to hear the heartbeat last week.

Been a while...

It has been a trying few days. I haven't been myself for those days, too much going on in my life. Been mean to people, too. Too much stress is all. Wifey has been sick for the past few days and then has to turn around next week for a medical procedure. She is better tonite, about 85%, so some of the stress has been lifted, which is why I am posting tonite. Sadly, she has no sick days at work, so that time missed isn't paid. Gonna be fun paying bills next month. But, we've been in worse situations, so I know we'll pull through.

Then, there's the new job. Trying to balance out between baby-sitting grown men and preventing the boss from thinking I'm the do-boy is harder than I thought. Throw on top of that a corporate office that can change our inventory with out informing us at will, and you have the perfect storm to make a man want to drink. Heh... Once I get that place organized it'll be easier. Just a long journey ahead.

On to happier things. I have my new love.

A mini NuWave oven. Only takes it 18 minutes to cook two chicken breasts and they stay oh so juicy. I don't think I'll use my oven much anymore.... not while this thing is around. Beauty part is that it allows all the fat to drip down from the meat, leaving behind the natural juices. One bite of the Montreal chicken seasoning on the breasts tonite had me hooked. I can't wait to try it with other things.

I haven't worked through my plateau as much as I would've liked to. In fact, I think I may have gained some back. Damn stress eating. But a friend also told me it could be due to the fact that I have been using the Total Gym, so I may be replacing the burnt fat with muscle. We'll see. I'll still hit the scale and let y'all know my progress Sunday. But for now..... bedtime.
