I am a stupid person

Some people think I am a smart person. This flies right in the face of all available evidence. Let me show you the facts.

1. I am working on a second masters degree.
2. While my wife is working a masters degree.
3. While raising a 15 month old.

"Bwahahahahahahaha"

4. While working full-time
5. While my wife is working full-time.
6. While looking for a house.
7. With my parents.

Any one of those things is enough to stress a fella out and make him a little crazy. I'm doing all of them at the same time. Furthermore, I use italics a lot so you know it's really crazy.

The only rational conclusion is that I am a profoundly, unquestioningly, certifiably, stupid person. 

Thanks Fred, happy belated birthday btw.

Stressin-it Son-day

Woah. Just, for like 20 minutes, woah. Take a breath okay.

Ever since I changed a few things down at the clinic, it's been really busy at work. I created a lot more time to get things done and suddenly, I'm getting so much more done. I basically bounced from one meeting to the next all week. We also got new carpet, that was cool.

Thankfully, this coming week is spring break and I can breath a little. Mo, Jo, and I are going to New York to visit the in-laws and aunts. They've never seen Jo and Mo hasn't seen them in like 5 years. It will be cool for everyone to see each other again.

Traveling on a plane with a baby...yeah, that might be a thing.

um...why does this picture even exist?

I'll let you know how the trip goes next time. Good I hope. Going out east is always kinda weird. Every trip has been a real adventure. Sometimes a good and relaxing one...sometimes just expensive and best forgotten. It's the roads I'm dreading. The weather is cold out there still.

In other news, Jo learned a new trick.

Nasty Son-day

I have really enjoyed this human resources class. An 8-week course is a little intense and this was definitely intense, but it's been a good class. I learned so much. I'd really like to just blog about it all and really impress people, but that's not really what this blog is about.

stay on target...

 In addition to school being very busy, work has been interesting too. I changed how I do the editing process and it's MUCH faster now. An edit that used to take me 2 weeks to get through now takes like 2 hours. It frees me up to do my own evaluations and network with people on campus. We are even getting some help in our processes to try to lean the clinic up. It's intimidating because I know what I am doing is FAR from perfect and I'm sure I've made some procedural mistakes. I've also been horridly ignorant. I just hope my UCO colleagues are patient and forgiving. Facing these things can be a blow to my self-efficacy. So far, they've been amazing. But, that isn't really what this blog is about.

Jo has been growing like a weed. He babbles non-stop and seems to figure something new out every couple of minutes. It's fun to watch.

This week Mo got sick and then Jo got sick. I got to clean up a lot of baby vomit. Then Pooka vomited and I got to clean up dog vomit. That's on top of the aforementioned school and work intensity. It's been super fun guys.

On the upside, Jo is much more cuddly when he is feeling bad. He's not much of a cuddler. He likes to run around and get into stuff. So, when he does cuddle, Mo and I try to get as much as we can. It's been nice but I think he's over the worst of if and going back to being crazy again.

CRAZY TIME!
