So...summer?

That's okay Mother Nature. We didn't really need summer anyway. That week of 90 degree weather in August was good enough.

Putting long sleeves and pants on my child in July because the high was 60 was okay too, I guess.

Whatev, I say.

We passed four months last weekend. The sleeping continues -- there are good nights and bad nights, but that's okay. It's a process, learning how to sleep. The napping process continues as well. he's getting better in the mornings, but the early and late afternoon naps continue to be 30 mins, which means that between 5 and 6pm, he needs another 30 minute nap. And that's okay.

I will say that the sleep deprivation of having a new baby kind of makes you forget exactly how bad you felt. I mean, the two night before last, I got more than 4 hours of sleep in a row for the first time in four months. Do I really have a memory of all that waking up at night, etc, etc? Not really.

I'm thinking of maybe trying to convince Jake to try to have a 10-10-10 baby (which, of course, means January 2010), but other than that, there's no rush. And 1-1-11 or 11-11-11 baby would be sweet too. Or 12-12-12. Then, we're all out of sweet dates until 2-2-22 or 2-22-22. 3-3-33, 4-4-44. 5-5-55, etc. You get the point. "Magic Calendar Days" my HS Latin teacher used to call them.

Work is going ok. The deal that merges my company and another Milwaukee based company Metavante closes Oct. 1. Then come the layoffs. I don't think that I'm really in danger of being laid off, but I'm worried about all of us.

I got a new laptop yesterday, for my birthday next month. Jake lets me use things right away. It's an MSI Wind Netbook and the best part is that it's PINK!!! woot. It's really nice. I'll miss the apple lappy, but this is good too.

Well, Ryan is taking his morning nap, so I should take a shower before he decides to make it 30 mins, instead of the 2 hours that need probably needs.
