So much to do, so little time

I considered blogging about the current financial quagmire that our representatives in government have bestowed on us all. Since I'm not well versed in that area, and don't want to sound like a complete buffoon, I won't say much.

I had a interesting conversation with a co-worker today, that made me realize that I have about 16 months left until my oldest daughter will be old enough to drive. My oldest is currently a freshman in high school. I'm not worried about her going out and dating, as I feel she has a really good head on her shoulders regarding that subject. But driving is a WHOLE other area that I am realizing that I'm not ready for. I'm thinking that I need to prepare by maybe finding another 16 year old and get all the "bad parent" stuff out of the way. Or maybe Nintendo can come out with a driving set so they can practice without raising my insurance rates.

Logan is doing well at Step by Step. I haven't updated that blog in awhile, as there really hasn't been much going on in that aspect for some time, so I've been quiet on that side. If you want to read the old posts, the blog is http://loganbuddy.blogspot.com.

Melissa is back at work now. She works at Step by Step. She's happy that she's doing something, and I'm happy for her.

I'm also back at studying again. I'm not in school, but immersing myself into learning about Windows Server products and all I can absorb about help desk techniques. Other than my son, I have a passion for computers and how they work. I've also started a small side business fixing and upgrading computers. It's fun, and I've met some interesting people.

I hope to get to post more of my ramblings here in the future. Not having as much time as I used to is taking some getting used to. I hope to get to also talk to those who read this blog and my blog about my son.

Funny things in life

There are times that I just want to crawl into a hole. Notwithstanding the fact I haven't posted in eight months, but with all of the bad news, and oil prices and other things, it sometimes just doesn't pay to get out of bed in the morning. If it wasn't for the the fact that I need to make money, I"d stay in bed all day.

I've been a busy little beaver as of late. Since my lost post on this particular blog, we've been down (state closing Step by Step), to highs (Federal Court blocking state, and the opening of a new, larger Step by Step that can help more children with Autism). I feel good each time I step into one of the buildings and do the smallest thing for the center. These kids need all the help they can get, and I'm so glad I can help in the smallest way.

I've also purchased a new computer. That's right, I got rid of my Windows Vista machine and got myself an XP Pro computer. Oh the joys of reliability. I've been also working hard on learning Windows 2003/8 server so I can increase my knowledge and skill.

I've been lax on posting here, and need to do better. As time permits, and the muse strikes, I shall post here. I post more often on Logan's Laughter, my blog about my son Logan.
