The Undiscovered Country

I'm confused.

But that's not hard. I'm just plain easy to confuse. Simple minds and all . . .

Thomas is sleeping through the night, and has been for the last almost two weeks now. Well, mostly through the night. I put him to bed at 8:30 and he gets up at around 4 or 5am. That's still 8-9 hours in a stretch. He then sleeps for another 3-4 before he's up for the day.

The problem is, I'm now on his previous schedule. I tend to wake up at 12am, 2am, 4am . . .

Sheesh!

Two more days, and no more freedom. I go back to work on Monday. Dave switched his hours to evenings and weekends starting Monday, so he gets to play Mr. Mom. We decided even before we had kids to avoid daycare. As expensive as it is these days, one person's paycheck ends up going to daycare, so what's the point? Plus we're both uncomfortable with leaving Thomas for any length of time with people we don't know well.

It'll be tough not seeing Dave as much. Luckily I live close enough I'll go home for lunch every day, and he has Thursdays and Fridays off. I may be able to at times work 4-10 hour days or 4-9 hour days and take a half-day on Friday. That's one nice thing about working for a smaller company.

I went in for an hour today to pick up some data and help a coworker out with a software problem. I left not wanting to go back.

I pointed out a potential problem with a project, and the project manager proceeded to bite my head off. Nice. All I did was relay something told to me by someone else. It's possible he knew of the issue himself, but there's no cause to snap at me as if I was some sort of nag. It's not as though I knew he knew, now is there, so why act as if I did?

Some people are just too [censored] sensitive.

Hmm. That wouldn't be me, now would it?

Have a great weekend! I plan to spend as much time as I can with Thomas, because I know I will miss him terribly come Monday. Even though I won't be with him for only 4 hours at a stretch, it'll be rough.

I best get to bed now. I have to wake up in 1-1/2 hours .
