Good News, and some random thoughts

Ok I have been really slacking off as far as doing a blog, but here it goes. The good news is Liz is Pregnant with our second child. Yay!!!!!! So as soon as school finishes up it will be replaced with the care of the new child. I am just glad that she is not due before school finishes. At times I feel like I am barely hanging on as it is. LOL I laugh because I told my wife about three months ago that life is just one frantic pace and it would not slow down for either her or me. She told me that after school is done for the two of us then it would slow down. Ha ha, I laughed then too and told her it will never slow down, and as soon as school is finished that time would be taken up by another endeavor. Not that I am complaining, I am proud to have another child. I just want to know when the frantic fast paced life ends and you can actually take a breath. Oh how I yearn for a simple life in a small town where nobody is in a hurry to get anywhere and time waits for you. I seriously wonder was life this crazy for our predecessors? I mean it seems as if we have all these wonderful devices for our convenience, and to give us more time. However, it seems that as soon as somebody finds out a way to shave ten minutes off of something, we or somebody else finds away to add ten minutes back to our schedule with some other new task. Maybe the generations before us were running around at breakneck lifestyle then too, and we just romanticize about it being a simpler time, and previous generations actually were busier and had less time than us, who knows. It kind like our current addiction to spending and getting into debt. We always think that the solution to getting out of debt is to make more money. The problem with that way of thinking is as soon as we make more money we think well I can put more towards the debt and buy a little something extra. The reason society as a whole is in debt is because of the spending. It’s not how much money you make; debt comes about from how much money you spend! Maybe it’s the same thing for time. Maybe everyone needs to just put down the stupid freaking cell phone, (the probability if being in a life or death situation and only making it out alive because of your cell phone is a slim statistic), and realize that maybe we should spend more time with our families doing nothing, we actually might be able to take a breath. Then again what do I know, I am in debt, and don’t seem to have time to get everything done, so take what I say with a grain of salt.
