I’ve noticed myself looking at my watch more and more these days. At work, out with my friends, wherever - constantly glancing at my watch. “Yup, it’s ten seconds later than it was ten seconds ago.”

I think it’s because I don’t want to miss a thing with Thalia. I really love her. I love seeing her smile, listening to her sing-song way of chanting da-da-da-da to me on the way to the sitter. There’s something so interesting, looking into her tired eyes as she grumpily screeches, fighting the natural urge to sleep.  See - she thinks she’s going to miss something, too.

We’ve had Thalia at home for over a year now, and it’s been the ultimate test. I won’t know if I passed until she’s grown, but I like to think I’m at least not screwing things up to the point of no return.

Jo’s been gently reminding me (to death) about our need to have Thalia’s one-year photos taken. I just wish I had a better camera; we could do this on our own! Anyone have a good, affordable photographer in the Indy area they can recommend?

No, not for Thalia, but for me. I’m leaving the familiar digs of IUPUI for the friendly confines of TGFI.net. I’ll do some consulting and a lot of coding, kind of like what I do now, only for an actual design firm. Consider me totally psyched.

Coincidentally, I’ll be starting my new job the day before we move out of our too-small Apartment into a yet-to-be-found home. Finding a home for rent in Franklin Twp. has proven to be tougher than I thought. Here’s hoping we come up with a few good candidates this week.

Apparently, spelling can be tough as well. Sorry. 

Sometimes I wake up in the morning and I wonder what happened to yesterday. Oh, right - work, change, feed, play, change, soothe, feed, lather, rinse repeat.

Somewhere in there, Thalia does something that makes it more than worth while. I may miss it some days, but I know it’s there and that’s what counts.
