Well, I'm back from the holidays, and a bit sad to see them go. Why? It marks a new year and I'm going back to work. Not full-time or even enough to be part-time, (it's every two weeks on the weekend) and yes, I'm still operating my business out of my home. It's the principle that with the state of everything, and we're all feeling it somehow, we need a bit more money coming in.
So that's gonna complicate things a bit. Hey, what would life be without loads of everyday tasks to muddle your progress and make you feel unable to read a book, talk to yourself(uninterrupted), see your wife, talk to your wife (when there's time, energy, and something besides the logistics and/or strategies of parenting), have sex(this is a joke, if I can't talk to my wife how the hell will this occur), and think. It's amazing to me how I can stare off into space(or at a car, tree, the wall) and be completely entertained by my thoughts or the complete lack thereof.
(I just stared at the computer screen and nothing, yes nothing, went on in my head.)
Child update.
Dylan is watching a movie at Auntie JJ's. He's learning how to argue a point. Last night after he was informed that he wouldn't be taking a bath because Zachary was too sleepy to join him, he responded by stating this fact. Before we had our baby, I used to take baths by myself. Good point, I said, but you're still not getting a bath. At some point, because I said so, isn't going to work anymore.
Zachary is sleeping. He is crawling, munching on graham crackers, and standing while holding onto semi-stationary objects. He gets very upset when the objects move or when he tries to free-stand. Until recently, he was averaging one dead man fall per day, but those seem to be lessening due to his increasing coordination.
