Welcome to Parenthood, here’s your germs

Learn_About_Germs.jpg For the past year I’ve had the excit­ing oppor­tu­nity to be a father — it really is fan­tas­tic, espe­cially now that new parts of her per­son­al­ity is com­ing through and she’s in the “crazy abo­rig­i­nal where are your pants” stage.

How­ever, on the flip side, it’s a lot of work — tir­ing work. It also comes with a side-effect. Dis­ease. I’ve been sicker the past year than I ever have been in my life. I think I end up with a cold or some­thing else every month. I’ve had sinus infec­tions, colds, Hand-Foot-and-Mouth and lack-of-sleep induced insanity.

Good times. At least I got to see the new bat­man movie, which was amaz­ing. I’m going to go blow my nose again.

    Dont worry it gets worse. Lit­tle kids, lit­tle prob­lems. Big kids, big problems.

    I feel your pain, my friend. You are not alone.

    You took a one-year-old to watch Bat­man ?

    Hahaha!

    I bet is true. I guess though the type of prob­lems are dif­fer­ent. As far as I’m con­cerned I can take on any­thing if I could get more than min­i­mal amount of sleep…

    Nope. That’s what in town rel­a­tives help with.

  • jnoller

    Don’t talk about sleep — the sleep­ing pat­terns of chil­dren can only be quan­ti­fied by using chaos theory

    I could deal with any­thing — pro­vided she stopped act­ing like a plague monkey

    You’re whin­ing about 1 kid, try 3. ;) Well I have a third on the way.

    If you’re hav­ing sinus issues try a netti pot (sp?). I wasn’t too keen on the idea of shoot­ing water through my nose, but I can’t recall my sinuses being any clearer.

    And yeah, Bat­man was amaz­ing. I think the Joker stole the show.
