Is there a Barista in the house!?

So.. With shaking hands and a clouded mind I write you on day 1 of my
coffee/caffeine fast.

Over late my coffee addictions have been taking over and several
people have asked what would happen if I just quit. I joked that it
would be like the airline attendant that quit smoking on the
commercial. Now I realize that may not be far off...

Wish me luck! My last coffee was @ 4:30pm on Nov. 03, 08 and So far
it's been 16 hours.

At the moment I don't feel like I'm firing on all cylinders.

Things are looking up...

So as time has passed the home life has taken a turn... While life is
busier than ever, it is good.

My wife and I are much closer, the boy is growing and learning so
fast! I can't beleive how proud I am of him. In fact a second baby is
on the way due in November! I may not sleep for the next 8 years - but
they will be the richest years of my life.

Oh and I got the new iPhone, waited in line in Canada for it and it is
solo worth it!

More on that tomorrow!

Dad 2.0

So some time has passed and I feel more comfortable with my new roll as dad. Coffee isn't always as relaxing as they once were; however, they are just as amazing. While at work you can imagine my surprise when my wife calls and asks me to pick up a 'test' on the way home. Apparently she has not been feeling well and is late.

Fast forward to the evening. So the boy is fast asleep, and it's time for the test. After some brief confusion... we find out she is only enceinte which means shes pregnant!! So I got to be there for the results which was very exciting for me to see her reaction. She is absolutely breathtaking when she smiles.

Home, Work, and the Commute...

All the days lately are the same...
I get told to get out of the bed before the alarm wakes the baby, then I stumble downstairs and snooze on the couch until the last possible moment. I awaken to rush out the door and drive my 30 minutes to the office. Eight hours blur by as I work. Then I drive the 60 minutes home (I love rush hour!) to the wife whose every word drip with anger and hatred. I then proceed to make dinner, jam whatever chores I have time to do. My favorite time of the day is the hour I get to spend with my son. Then I go to bed and try to sleep, waking frequently to the wifes angry tirades and/or insultes. Thank god I only have about 6 hours of sleep to get through each night.
I don't know what happened, I promise it wasn't always like this. We once showed that we loved each other. Now it feels like I am alone. There's no physical or emotional connection between us two. I know I love her.... but does she love me.

She loves me,
She loves me not,
She loves me...
...I hope.

Well it's been another while...

Just about a billion things have happened in the past couple of months, but have been two busy to write about it so... with no further ado I must say that I will be picking right up as of now. No long boring lists of what I missed and if I wish to remember what happened in this time later in life I will just have to rely on what braincells I have left.

However, I should note:
After going about 3 for 72 in this years Roll Up the Rim season. I've stopped buying the coffee. I still drink the stuff and will drink at the Tim Horton's still, I just won't be going out of my way just to compete in this years RUTR games.

This weather we're having here is crazy... I'm looking forward to spring when it finally arrives probably sometime around August!
