I can't believe I how much your focus shifts once you have a child. The other things become much less important, but experiencing them sweeter than you remember. Thanks for the great comment.<BR/><BR/>@SciFi - Thanks. I don't suppose it get's much different after the second child??<BR/><BR/>@Eric - I am hoping to hear the great news any time now. Maudlin must be well seasoned himself by now. lol.<BR/><BR/>@Being Us - Exactly! Just the point I was trying to convey. <BR/><BR/>@MTAE - Yes! What they heck did we DO with all that extra time.

I'll leave it to others to decide whether my thirty-three years qualify as "seasoned" or not :-)<BR/><BR/>I've learned to appreciate free time with my wife, as well as time I can spend on the old hobbies. Beer does taste a little sweeter as well.<BR/><BR/>It's fun experiencing all these great things you don't hear about before you become a parent.<BR/><BR/>It's time for me to hit the sack, an experience which -- incidentally -- has become a heavenly one since I became a dad :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
