So far so good. We’re doing an alright job of adjusting to life with 2 boys. Many of you are probably thinking “pshaw, how hard can two boys be”. To you I say, you’re either not parents or else you’ve forgotten the difficulties of mixing newborns with big boys:
- Diaper changes with a newborn can quickly turn into a chain reaction (you’re midway through the change when they poop again).
- 15 month old boys demand far greater attention because they are constantly trying to give hugs, toys and food to the newborn.
- Sleep schedules being completely alien to anything remotely normal.
Due to our own bad planning (with the greatest of intentions of course) I am now sleeping on the queen size bed in our oldest’s room (still really not used to saying “our oldest”), while the wife is sleeping in the big comfy king in our room. It wasn’t the original plan but it tends to keep us both a little more on the sane side. I do have to say that it’s nice going to bed before 10pm again. I’d forgotten how well rested you can feel even when you wake up at 8am on a Sunday.
Next weekend ought to be interesting since we’re taking the boys to the tricities for a week (the wife will be staying there too) so I can clean the house, get the car fixed (there was some damage to it Thursday when I had to choose between hitting a teen or a wall, obviously I picked the wall) and then get some work done on a few projects I have in my head like:
- Portlanddreams.com - Yeah it’s high time I got the work I have completed uploaded and prepped for the rest of the dev team to finish up in time for the rolling beta in 2 weeks.
- The tech tutorial/widget/plugin sharing site I have yet to name - I don’t want to spoil things with this one yet but suffice to say I think it’ll be fun.
- WP-Ubercomments - The widget I told Rick Turoczy I’d write for him
- Finally migrate from my aging unstable p4 to the shiny quad core sitting gathering dust in my living room
- Rearrange some things and clean up my workspace at home to provide a better more productive environment
- Continue tweaking this site as well as getting a little bit of work done on the new theme I’m considering deploying
Oh sorry for not posting new pictures. Some asshat stole my Mother In Law’s camera before she had a chance to get the pictures uploaded. There will be a bunch coming soon.
Sometime in the next two weeks I’ll also have posts up on:
- Part two of my post on Thunderbird
- A review and getting started guide for Tiny Tiny RSS
- A huge collection of sprays for Team Fortress 2 (and other Steam games)
In closing I’d just like to say congrats to Demonoid.com to their reopening as a torrent site. A lot of us missed you guys. Also congrats to Dawn Foster for launching Portland is Awesome!
