So I have been inspired by The Atomic Tumor and his impressive writing ability in a time of great sadness, so let's see how this goes. I stumbled upon the mommy blog phenomenon and WOW. I am really afraid my life is far too boring to compare to that of mothers, but I think this could be a good outlet. It might also make me strive to accomplish something worth writing about every day.

Today was rather uneventful, but reading the mommy blogs really reminded me how badly I want to become a mommy (as you see, I am making strides to become a blogger--not a mommy right now). I know I am a Ph.D. student and we make just a little money and we have motorcycle payments, among many other bills. But who has the money to have a baby when they have one? I don't know. I go thru this quite regularly and I think that is God's way of saying to do it. I know my husband is looking out for my best interests when he says we should wait (until I graduate, until I have a job, until we have money), but I am so afraid that as a diabetic if I wait too long--being diabetic and all--I will lose this chance for us. I just don't want to risk that. And I am quite sure we can handle whatever God sends our way...
On another unrelated note, I am in the playoffs in both of my fantasy football leagues! Woo-hoo! In the Gator Club I went undefeated thru 11 games, lost one and then won the final game, so I have a first round bye. I am hoping that give McGahee the time to heal a little more, time for me to figure out which QB to start--Hasselback, Rivers, or Rothlesberger (I know, my spelling sucks)... I picked up Gramattica--I am proud of that one--but Witten is my TE and he is hit and miss. I am really trying to stay positive and just have fun in this league, but it is much harder than in Lils league.
See in that one, I almost missed the playoffs after starting the season 0 and 4 or 5... Then my team started coming together. Keep in mind I had the first round draft pick in both leagues (picked up LJ in lils, LT in Gator), so waiting 4 or 5 games for a win was painful. This week it looks like I might have to play one of the strongest teams in the league--the team who has the bears defense... And that is one place I am struggling. I have the Cowboys and the Broncos and neither team is desireable this week--Broncos play Chargers (LT will run all over that defense) and Cowboys play Saints (they have one of the best offenses in the league)... I just really want to beat this guy--he is one of those guys who was probably a fat kid who got picked on alot, then he got to college and figured out that being big (not so much fat) can be a good thing at this age and that people will not openly make fun of him anymore... This caused him to become deep down a really good guy, but on the surface an a-hole with ego issues. I swear I have heard him say things about being a bartender at a certain bar in town makes him a pimp. Get over yourself. And he's all of a sudden a Bears fan. I am not sure this is genuine or not. But, I beat him in the regular season by sheer luck and I really want to do it again.
I have a good team--Carson Palmer (whom I got in a trade for Warrick Dunn--I got the better end of that deal), LJ, Addai (although I am debating starting Tatum Bell or Cedric Houston (NYJ)), Anquan Boldin, Roy Williams, Laverneus Coles (I might start Marty Booker instead of Williams), Witten in this league too, Gramatica here too, Cowboys or Broncos defense... Not a bad team at all. They can blow up--I got 225 or so points in week 12... But I am deeply competitive and I really want to win!

So the hubby and I may go on a toy ride this weekend or to a swap meet... I am just not really into swap meets, so I am hoping for the toy ride. If the weather is good, all we need is a new toy, we are "doing good" and we get to ride??? I'll take it.
I am so surprised by how much I enjoy riding the motorcycle. It is about the only time I have noticed enjoying the out of doors. It is just nice quiet time where I still feel like G and I are together and bonding, but I know I am not bugging him. I often worry about bugging him, but that's for another day.

So that will do it for this one. I hope I can do this regularly. I hope if anyone actually reads this that they find it interesting or entertaining in some way. Let's see.

Welcome Abby Gail!
Thank you for the minute rice advice.
As far as having kids goes, you will never have enough, be ready enough... for them. There comes a point when you just have to take the plunge and trust that God has your back. And He does. :) I certainly don't feel like we have enough money for 2 kids, but I got pregnant the 2nd time waaaay faster than I did the first. oops!
Hey.
I found the best ways to become parents are entirely accidental. At least, thats what worked for me.
I'm the last person to tell people what to do with their reproductive organs, but you're never 'ready' to have a kid.
AT--I agree, no one is ever really ready. I laughed out loud at your pride in having the family's first planned child! My sister had a second one and wasn't sure how to tell our folks when it was actually good news--not a surprise--haha! Thank you so much for your blog, I have really enjoyed it.
Hey there. I don't know you or anything, but I thought I'd congratulate you on the good fantasy football showing (and, at the same time, bitch about my fantasy football year). Congrats! Are you still in both?
I did fantasy for the first time this year (all women's league). I'm a Giants fan, but managed to avoid the pick players from your team trap. I had a horrible first round pick (8th out of 10) and it was a keeper league, so people like LJ never even made it into the draft. Bad set-up for a newby. I took Peyton in the first round (all the good RB's were gone, of course) and built a team around him. Actually that worked out pretty well except (and this is a big except) that I had total crap running backs (ended up with Fred Taylor and Travis Henry (when healthy) as my starters, Reggie Bush did nothing for me until it was way way way too late). Anyway, I could drone on and on, but I'll stop now.
Enjoyed your blog so far and happy to come across another blogging short-timer. Just getting the hang of all of this myself.
Also your dog is adorable.
Thanks for the information.
