The baby was up at 7:30 a.m., which wasn't so bad, but I was still dragging some from the Tuesday night game. After we had breakfast, I had to trek down to the accountant and sign the tax stuff. Nothing like driving an hour for a 5 minute signature and pickup.

It's amazing to see how much my life has changed in half a year. I went from living an extended college life. Working at night, I could sleep in any day I wanted, do what I wanted, when I wanted, move at my own pace. I could sit and play PlayStation all day if I wanted to. But now those days are long gone.Everything is organized andJawdyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12047285999754865347noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22723437.post-1142400044056541652006-03-15T00:19:00.000-05:002006-03-15T00:20:44.070-05:00Some Weekly Revelationsposted by Brian G.This week I was in the unfamiliar position of having to do the “drop offs” at daycare.

So my earliest class in college? 10 a.m. And I work nights, so I could sleep in until 10 or 11 a.m., and still get done what I Jawdyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12047285999754865347noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22723437.post-1141703407111906522006-03-06T22:48:00.000-05:002006-03-06T22:50:07.126-05:00The Tooth Fairyposted by MikeOne of the great milestones for a child is the loss of his or her first tooth. My daughter Jessica (age six and a half) was excited about it from the moment she felt one starting to get loose, and over the course of several weeks it became a focal point of our family's attention. It got to the point where the tooth was hanging on for days, and Jessica was too timid toJawdyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12047285999754865347noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22723437.post-1141360380404736392006-03-02T23:26:00.000-05:002006-03-02T23:33:00.416-05:00Toothpasteposted by JohnSo, a few nights back we went through our nightly "checklist" with the boys.
