After months of forgetting I ever had this, I rediscovered it and felt an update was necessary. I feel like I have pressed the fast forward button on life itself (not saying it is a bad thing). Adler, my son, is now seven months old. Watching him grow has been an amazing adventure, and it is hard to believe he was once smaller than Mylee. Being a mother is slightly what I expected, but more of what I did not expect. Many tried to prepare me, I think for the worst, but it is not as expensive as most say and I feel that bringing home a baby and caring for him has been a breeze. Perhaps I am just blessed with an easy, happy baby? The most he ever fusses is when I miss a hungry, sleepy, or full diaper cue from him. I feel safe to say that by now I am close to pro on noticing his small signs.

John just recently started school at ECPI. I rarely see him as much as I have been, he works a full time job and goes straight to school after. By the time he gets home, my eyes have already collected dust from the sandman. He has weekends off, but with me being full time in a retail position, I am usually working weekends. Getting a consistent day off with him has been difficult. Yes, I am the manager at my job and I make the schedule, but my staff does not have great availability on the weekends. John's schooling is not very long and will pay off when he is finished, however. He is guaranteed to get a great job and by then I can switch to being a stay at home to take care of our son.

I've rarely been going out or hanging out, I need to, but I usually am so exhausted that I just don't feel like it. Although, I may go crazy soon if I don't plan a night out for John and myself soon. Three Amigos every Friday does not count.

I will try to make an effort with this thing more often, as I have nothing better else to do in between Adler's bedtime and mine.
