It's nice in some ways being able to be home with the famdamily, being able to do stuff with them on the weekends, when, in the past it was rare to have a Saturday off. In other ways, I'm going nuts and am starting to miss working. Is this what retirement will be like?! Now that school is out, I need to find more to do. I've offered to start helping out a lot more with my grandparents which will take up time this summer, but need more constructive things.
It was so much easier having to go to work everyday and feel like in some ways you are making a difference. At home, I feel like, if I clean a mess up, its just going to get messy again or, there will be a mess somewhere else to clean up. I can now empathize completely with my wife for all the times I was at work or even the time I was in Texas and had no help.
I guess another chunk of my summer will be taken up with a new baby. As I told my friend Brandon last night as he was asking me how I felt about another child, I told him I am scared to death about a second kid. Don't get me wrong, I want another child, I mean Andy has been a blast and to go through it again will be exciting, but Andy was also not easy. With 2 children, how are we going to manage it? I bet this is a common feeling for most dads having a second child. All I have to say and my wife will disagree with me, I'm two and through.
