Ready or not...

I am not the best with making decisions. I'm am not saying that I make bad ones, it's just that it takes me some time to reach one. For example, we usually spend more time driving around thinking about what to eat than we do actually eating the food we get. This could be a problem, considering the baby could be due any day and we have yet to decide on a name.

This morning about 5 minutes to 6 my better half woke me up and said she was having some uncomfortable pains. I'll spare you the details and let you know it resulted in us taking a quick trip to the hospital. She was having some contractions, but they weren't strong enough or close enough to keep her there. I was trying to stay calm, but there was this little man running around in my head going, "IT'S ABOUT TO HAPPEN! ARE YOU READY?" over and over again. Let me tell you I wasn't. I'm still not.

I don't know if you can actually be ready for child birth. We have taken the prenatal class and have learned as much possible in the last few weeks...But that still doesn't mean you are ready. Someone told me once that if I was scared, I am ready. Well I'm a little scared. Responsibilities pile up and the money seems to do the opposite. My new job starts Tuesday so hopefully we're headed in the right direction.

We also decided that we are going to rent a duplex in town...Starting Sept. 15. The place is quite a bit bigger (4 bedrooms) and has a fenced in backyard with a b-ball hoop. Not to mention the gas money we'll save from making trips in town-Although it's only about 3 miles it really adds up. The location is only a few blocks from daycare, so it'll help me out a bunch when I am getting not one, but two little munchkins up and ready every morning! I can hardly wait.

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.
