You ever get stuck in a rut? You just keep doing something just because it seemed like a good idea at the time and then you blink and - BAM - a year and a half has gone by? That's kind of how I've been feeling. I started working at Barnes & Noble when Olivia and I moved to Dallas because:
A) I didn't have a job waiting for me when I got out here,
B) I had a great deal of difficulty finding a decent job initially, and
C) I needed to be doing SOMETHING.
I can't keep doing this job anymore. People treat you like crap 50% of the time (or at least treat you like you're of sub-standard intelligence), the pay sucks (I finally got my W2 the other day - it made me almost want to cry), and hte hours are horrid. It's almost 1:00 AM as I write this and I am still wide-awake because I just got off work an hour ago. If I'm lucky, I'll have wound down enough to get to sleep by 2:00.
Ehhhhh.
Now, the really cool part about this past week is that on Wednesday, I got to see my babies for the first time when I went to Olivia's sonogram appointment.
Oh. My. God.
I can't sum it up any better than that; I was on Cloud 9 for the rest of the day and was showing the ultrasound printout to people at the slightest provocation. What can I say, it was a very moving day for me: I got to see my babies move their arms and legs. Made me cry, I'm not ashamed to admit.
That'll do it for me. Talk to you all later!
Take care,
Rob
