E.T.A. 7 weeks and counting.

With around 7 weeks until the baby is due I am starting to feel the heat. I also feel like I don't have anyone to really talk to.

Maybe that is because I don't like it when people tell me they know how I feel. Because they don't. You may know how you felt when you were in a similar situation...But you don't know how I feel. Saying you do isn't going to make things any better. By the way...This isn't a poke at anyone particular, in fact I get this response no matter who I try to talk to. Thus is also the reason I rarely talk about my situation to anyone.

Besides hoping that our child is healthy, which thus far the doctors tell us ours is, I am really worried about providing a good life for my family. I am going crazy at the job I am at now (recently I have attributed this feeling to the fact I don't get to talk to anyone all day, except myself) but I can't just take a chance and quit without knowing I can get another job. Then again I can't make what I make now and be able to live with 2 kids. Aargh.

Furthermore, I feel like I ask so much of my parents. Whether it be them taking Jordan for a few hours or me borrowing some money it seems like I am constantly asking of something from them. They don't ask a thing from me. I thought moving back to South Sioux would be great, and it has been, but it might be great at my parents expense ya know? I don't want to be that guy.

However there is some sunshine creeping through the clouds...I have an interview for a Public Relations Specialist at the community blood bank here in Sioux City. If hired I would do a lot of writing for things like ads, radio/tv spots, etc., and handle the graphic design work...Which I would love to do! Also I would be handling the web, working to generate awareness and numbers for the blood drives. I'll be sure to keep you posted.

And a special thanks to my neighbor,Benjamin, for the song on my page...For everything.

The ever changing, never ending list.

I hear a lot about bucket lists. I dunno, maybe I have one. More of my 'lists' are current lists, 5 year lists, 25 year lists...but I guess they all could be bucket lists because we don't know how much time we've got at the dance. Over the past 2 years my wants have drastically changed. I've been focusing on simpler things, true things. Not reaching so much for more, just trying to enjoy what is here more. That goes for family, friends, opportunity, relationships...not material things. (Except I really really want a canoe or kayak so I can get out on the water soon) Is it possible to make a list that won't change?  Is it possible to remain true to the values of a 34 year old father, when those very values seem to have shifted based on life experiences? Are the items on my list too specific? Maybe... Love Honesty Compassion Health Fun More to come on this one I'm pretty sure.

Take us out to the ball game.

Last night we ventured over to the Explorers baseball game after dinner, it was great. Jordan talked to the X's pitching crew out in the bull-pin for a while, and they ended up giving him a ball. He's such a sports guy! The pitcher that gave him the ball said, "Can you give it a throw?" and so he did...over his head out into left field! Of course my diva Bell had more fun doing spins and drinking a slush, but that's all good. I love my family.
