It's been a long time since I've been here. Wowzers! Nine months. Lots has happened...graduated from a program at a local university, baby boy is just over six months old, got hitched, getting ready to sell my place and move. It's a lot.
So the first thing. The course at university. It was really nice to be back to learning. It's an adult learner environment but a learning environment just the same. I've missed that. I've missed homework and working on group projects. Weird, I know. :)
Baby boy. Where to start? He's precious. He has an amazing big sister. He's helping me to discover all kinds of things...like how precious life is. How every little thing is fascinating. How quickly they grow. How loving a little person can be before they can even speak. How bad their poop stinks. How they have growth spurts and wake up a lot at night. That their giggles melt your heart. That I wasn't going to break his little boy part just drying him after a bath. Yah, the list could go on and on. I have to say it's been a bit of a challenge. I'm not a spring chick anymore. Things are much different now that I'm forty and had a baby. The whole medical system treats you like you've got some rare disease. I mean it's great they're cautious but wow, I paid for someone to go to university with my parking fees at the hospital. I'm suffering a little on the endurance side (AKA lack of sleep) but I've got a shit ton more patience. I can't wait to learn more about his personality and go through all the milestones again, nine years after my first go round.
Got hitched. Hummmmm. My idea oddly enough. Honestly didn't think it's something I would do again. It was small and quick and pretty close to perfect. Lots of people thought we did it because we had the baby (that they also presumed was unplanned because I'm old). Anyway, baby very much planned and married because we felt like it.
Moving. Hopefully. Just have to sell the place first. Hubby got posted. Not far but far enough that the drive it just too much. Not practical. So the house I bought myself, almost seven years ago when life was crazy and ridiculous, I will hopefully sell so I can move on with the next chapter of this crazy little thing called life.
