Sleep is an elusive beast.

Since Michael has been born, sleep wasn't a big issue. He used to be able to sleep soundly at night leaving me and the wife to get a decent amount of sleep. Not anymore, unfortunately. He's gotten to a point where he wakes up every four or so hours - sometimes he's only asleep for an hour - before he's up for at least another hour. And, if someone isn't up and with him then he starts crying. 

Meaning that sleep has become precious. And since he keeps me up for an hour, my body wakes up and doesn't unwind again. So, I'm now running off of three to four hours now. I can manage, but it's gotten pretty stressful now. 

He's asleep right now. The boy has my number. 

Spring Break

Homework that was unnecessary, done. So, Spring Break is on! Kind of. The beauty of being an English major, always something to write. My Spring Break is going to deal with trying to get ahead as possible on that.

Let's hope Michael will cooperate. Michael has gotten into weird habits now. He gets up at 3 or 4 in the morning and throws a fit where he doesn't want anything. He's going to drive me to drinking.

Studying French

I'm about to take a French midterm. Oral half of it. Everyone always says that me knowing Spanish should make French easier. I guess but at the same time, I want to reply to everything in French with Spanish. Like my wires are crossed up between the languages.

I now know how to say I want a ham and cheese sandwich now.

Long Time

Haven't been able to post in a while. Having a  kid takes up a lot of time, who knew, right?

I believe that I haven't made the announcement here. Michael Allan was born October and he's a healthy boy. Four months old now.

I'll be sure to keep blogging again. Keep checking.
