Gkikas 2.0

As you can tell, there’s been some changes.  Big ones, small ones.  Huge ones.

Firstly, you’ll notice that the layout of this site’s changed.  Seeing as I have doubts that anyone actually reads this stuff, you’ll probably wonder what it used to look like.  It was messy.  It was cramped.  It had too many rounded corners.  Basically, it sucked.  I’m turning over a new leaf.  Starting over, because now I really have something to talk about.

Fatherhood’s a lot of fun, so far.  I spend equal amounts of time changing diapers, coaxing gas bubbles to either end, swaddling, swaying, shooshing (?), playing referee between family members, playing psychiatrist to my wife, managing to keep the bills paid, and trying to get some sleep, here and there.  I think I’m doing an okay job, so far.

But I’m tired.  Really tired.  The kind of exhaustion that feels like energy, sometimes, it’s so convoluted.  I forget what day it is.  I’m working and getting things done, but it all runs together.  Morning, evening, 4am, catnaps, struggling to stay awake at the wheel when I’m out on the road.  I figure this must be typical, especially of twins parents.

As you also can tell, I’m not doing much editing.  This will be stream of consciousness from now on, or cream of unconsciousness.  Something like that.  There will be pictures.  I will serve corn.

    So true, the hours just become one long hour. It is exhausting. But when you hear Elise or Althea mutter the words, “Da-Da” or give you a kiss, walk their first steps towards you, or like Jordan learn to say, “O shit!” .. you’ll realize (if you don’t already) it’s way worth it. Eventually you will get more sleep but that will come when they need you less and it’s a little bitter sweet.

    Heya Giselle — so nice of you to stalk me on my blog… I am totally serious, I feel so attended-to! You’re right about time flying. I’m already afraid they’re growing up too fast, but yes, this is as cool as everyone’s told me it would be. I’ve seen the pics of Jordan… holy cow, what a handome little dude!
