Sarah's parents have been gracious enough to let us stay at their house while we are finding a new dwelling for ourselves. They are rad to house a family of four with 2 boys under the age of two and two Australian Shepherds who do nothing more than destroy the lawn with their running races, wrestling matches, and acid pee (the dogs, not me).
One of my resolutions for the year was to write on this thing five times a week, as you can see I am like the, "Don't worry honey, I will get the oil changed," of resolutions, good intentioned but ultimately a failure.
The truth is I like to write, apparently I am awesome at it. I am so good that my credentialing professors ask me to write anywhere from 8-14 papers a month, its exciting to be believed in! Oh you didn't hear? I am going to school full time to become a high school teacher. No, I didn't quit my job to go to school full time, I work during the day, do homework at night and squeeze every bit of family time in that I can. Sarah and I decided that wasn't enough so we decided to sell our house and move in with her parents until we find a replacement.
Bryan Allain over at bryanallain.com is a funny guy, he is smart, he likes baseball (well, the Red Sox, I don't know if you call what they do baseball) and he is in last place in our Fantasy Baseball league, regardless, he once tweeted this, "@bryanallain: someday i'm gonna look back at this time in my life and wonder how i did it. but for now, i just have to do it."
I was up this morning at 5:30 after getting almost 4 hours of sleep, I will be up again in three hours feeding my eight month old kid who still doesn't sleep through the night, I wrote a sermon, a talk, three lesson plans and three papers today on top of watching Michael Scott wheel his luggage off to Boulder, CO. It is times like these that make me want to punch college me in the face for saying I was ever tired. But you continue, you move forward because, "for now, I just have to do it."
I won't blog everyday, probably not even every week because my life is like a G6. I have no clue what a G6 is, but I think it is a fast airplane or a bingo number. In either case my life demands that I continue, so continue I shall.
