Back to the grind

February 18th, 2003

It’s been nearly a month since I’ve last worked because of the birth of my son and today is the day I will return. Oh boy (no pun intended… ok maybe a little), I actually have to work for a living?!

I’m typing this with one hand while feeding my boy ( yeah, yeah, I fed my daughter the same way) and my wife telling me I need to go to bed. It is getting late… I leave for work in 6 hours and I haven’t gotten a lot of sleep in the last 3+ weeks. But you know, I don’t really care about sleep anymore. I enjoy feeding my son in the wee hours of morning or just resting on the couch watching him sleep like the baby he is.

When my daughter was born I was so busy working on starting the career I have today that I didn’t stop and take time to enjoy her at her most innocent age. I’m going to really make an effort to witness my son’s first hand.

Ah yes, the grind part. You know, it really isn’t all the bad. Working is something we all do, either be it for ourselves, for someone else, or like my wife, for the children. We all have some form of a job and normally we don’t like it too much. But today will be different, I’m really going to try and remember that work is just that, work, and in 8 hours I get to come home to feed my son.

Isn’t life just grand?
