What I think they mean to say is that it would take a Genius to decipher what I'm trying to say...

Round 2

I am very proud and excited and tentative to announce that The Wife is pregnant! We go to The Dr. on Monday to get the official word.

It seems like so much else has happened that I haven't posted about. We moved to a new house. The Boy did not handle it well for the first 3 or 4 days. He wasn't sleeping or napping well, and was just all out of sorts. But he's settled in now and doing great. Except this week it seems like he might have allergies or a sinus infection.

Oh, it looks like he may be getting ear tubes and also possibly having his lingual frenulum snipped to prevent "tongue-tied".

The new house is great and we're slowly but surely getting things the way we want them.

I'm thinking of getting my MBA. I'm not sure now would be a good time - but I don't know if it will ever be a "good time".

Where's The Mouse?

The Wife taught The Boy a new game when reading Goodnight Moon. On a handful of pages, there's a little mouse.

He says, "Where mouse?" as he holds his hands out in a shrug. Then you can watch his eyes scan the page and his finger kind of drift around the page. Then he points, "There Mouse!".

It's just the greatest. There's just something about it that makes me realize how much I love him and how much I love being his daddy.

And In Bad

At those times when you're stressed to the max and completely frazzled and don't have any happy points left - How do you work together instead of turn on each other?

Shave And A Haircut, 2 Bits

I'm so proud of The Wife. She gave The Boy a haircut this weekend and it looks great. Until now, we had just trimmed above his ears and his duck tail once. But he got a full-on, real-life, haircut. She did a great job. Now he looks like such a little boy instead of a baby. Heck, once she cuts his hair a couple more times, she'll be ready to start cutting my hair too! :-D

Shoulda, Woulda, Coulda

Here I sit. Waiting for the tow truck. 3 years, 39,000 miles. Just outside of warranty. The clutch just drops out from under my foot. So the hydrolics get their fluid from the brake master cylinder. But there's also a reservoir for transmission fluid. It's empty. I tried adding fluid, but to no avail. There's no forcing it into gear - which is probably a bad idea anyway. So I'm looking at a $112 tow bill because my insurance agent sucks (it's actually probably my fault, but I'll blame her) and only has me covered for 3 miles.

So ugh.

I shoulda gotten the extended warranty. And I shoulda had better insurance.
