Wow, it has been forever since I have blogged. My most sincere apologies. However, I have an excuse: I have twins.
Life has been hectic for the last two years. After losing my job when the kids were just new babies, I began the adventure of commuting nearly three hours per day. Thank God, He gave me a job close to home. In November of last year, I moved to an office 15 minutes (in bad weather and worse traffic!) from home.
B went back to work, and is now on her third job since returning. The first one was a joke – the County she worked for was an inbred cesspool of backwards old boys that couldn’t see female talent if it kicked them in the jewels…and she almost did.
The second job for her was much better – a great team she was sad to leave, but the perks of government employment made too much sense at this point. so, she is back to work 50%.
I am working about 150%. I am doing my practicum and, as I write this, my final paper is percolating in my head. I have to submit it in a few hours, and I need ot add a couple pages of text, so I am mulling it over subconsciously (I can do that now that I am almost done my Master’s!) while I write this quick update post to get me back on the blogging train. I’ve missed it.
Anyway, that’s enough of an update about us. As for the kids, they are growing, developing, getting smarter, scaring their parents with how smart they actually are, and making me (especially) feel completely incompetent as a parent.
Our small group at church is working through a parenting program that is supposed to help you be a better parent. Mostly just makes me feel like crap all week. At least before I didn’t know I was being an idiot. Now I know I’m being an idiot and, even worse….so does B.
Thought I had her fooled. She married me, after all, didn’t she?
Stupid parenting program.
