A New Day!

Let’s start the day off with a PayPal donation link:

This Morning

Awoke at 12:52am to a crying baby. She had moved from her bed to the hardwood floor. There is a soft mat near the bed that she could have chosen but instead was on the floor. I hugged her, gave her a fresh pacificer and put her back to sleep. At 5:50 she was crying again but from the bed this time. I brought her down to the crib and stirred the crew.

Last Night

Was more tired than I thought I was. Watched some of Groundhog Day with the wife. Went back to errands around the house then returned but didn’t even make it through Futurama.

  

I’m not tired. I should stay up and bang keys. Instead I want to go to bed and watch tv with my wife.

I spent the afternoon fighting computer problems. My art machine seems to have lost its video card and my development box won’t open a word document without word crashing. My copy of Office 2003 which I was saving to install on a new box has vanished into this garbage pit of a desk (Alro Gurthrie would be proud). And my laptop is so slow I wonder how I ever accomplished anything in the past.

I took Noah to soccer practice. I really enjoy the time with Noah. I spent most of the time talking to a mother who’s son is a first timer. She sounded a whole like like Cathy and I talking about Noah. She also complimented Noah’s playing ability. Once again, evidence that Noah is just a normal all American 8 year old boy (8 next month).

My wife and I are in one of those marital disconnects right now. She needs to be left alone and I just want to be a bother. I wish I could lift the weight from her shoulders.

All of my computers are dying. I feel like I’m going with them.

Noise! Noise! Noise! It’s everywhere!

So I used to kayak, mountain bike, spelunk, rock climb, rapell, dangle my feet over the railings of tall parking garages and anything else for a thrill…the rush…adrenaline.(aka epinephrine). Now-a-days I get the same rush with a 15 minute powernap..I fall into a deep relaxing sleep then jump from the bed in a panic when I realize I should be doing something else. You can watch my heart pounding through my chest when it happens.

Amy has had me put on her socks and shoes. I see where this is going.

Amy is in fantastic spirits this morn! She is talkative and smiling and playful! She is currently feeding me her cereal. She has been entertaining herself. I think she enjoys the freedom of being able to wake up, get out of her bed, and play.
