Getting back to...Normal?

Is there such thing as normal? Normal life was interrupted two years ago with my first daughter, but since then I seem to have a hard time remembering memories from my past without her present. Now there's another, new little girl and I am caught in this wormhole of change that is bending time and space, but really not that far removed from where I was, or am I there, here.?

Things must be getting better (for me at least). Last night I was able to miss an entire episode of changing diaper, feeding, and changing diaper all while my other daughter Sydney climbed into bed with me. I found her there this morning at 7:30 when I woke up.

The thought occurred to me this morning that I was in a room with three of the opposite gender, and it kind of hit me that that's a potential for a lot of estrogen and I had better work at maintaining my masculinity. Maybe a problem for lesser men.

And they never told me that blogging got harder with more children. They need to add that to the course. I think. Maybe I'll start a course, Data for Dads: Parenting or Posting.

Anyway, I'm thankful that you've continued to check in, and hopefully there will be an increase in my posting. I miss the blogosphere.
