Walking Backwards

Annie called me this morning and informed me that baby H was skipping out on me and I wouldn't see him until Thursday. I got a stolen day off. More good news came in the mail as our health care reimbursement checks appeared and several of our tax forms made it in there, too. Then, I got some recommendations for a urologist for Joe's cut-and-tie job and the name that came up the most with the most positive feedback was, get this, Dr. Richard Chopp. Yes, I've been laughing about that one all day. It was even better when I told Joe that his doctor was going to be Dr. Dick Chopp, he thought I was either joking or insane.

Today hasn't been all fun by a long shot, but I'm feeling a little better. My first day of class was uneventful and, while I don't think it is going to be easy, I'm fairly sure I can handle it. I'm feeling a little more prepared for the shift in our lives. I think having today off really illustrated to me the fact that I am a little more ready for it all than I thought I was.
