Random Mind Dumplings 20 *FATHERHOOD EDITION!*

*Holy Shit! I was cheated out of 25 days of selfishness and sleep. My beautiful daugher Ryane Elise Jackson was born on January 26th.  Her original due date was Feburary 20th.

*Good things come in little packages: 5lbs. 5oz. 18"

*I do have to admit, I did go back to work too early.  But I really feel inspired to work my ass off to ensure I bring home enough money to feed a FAMILY now.

*Ryane is like Santa Clause.  She knows when we are sleeping.  She knows when we're awake.  She just does the opposite.

*I was so nervous when I changed her first diaper, I almost shit myself...isn't it ironic...don't cha think???

*I have a new found respect for the power-nap.  I have a new found respect for Lady Karma.  Watching her give birth to my heathly Girl took my breath away.  Speaking of "taking breath away," she gets gas a lot...must be from my side of the family.

*25 DAYS EARLY!!!  The night of January 25th and the morning of the 26th is just like being in 5th grade during a fire drill...walking away from the school in an orderly fashion...only to turn around and see that the school was really ON FUCKIN' FIRE!!!

*I have to admit...there was a few times during the labor and delivery where I was like, "wow...this is crazy...there are six people in this room that are looking at Lady Karma's coochie."

*Catching up at work while having a newborn at home is like running a marathon.  It's not the most pleasant experience at times, but it is worth crossing the finish line.

*If I knew she was going to be such a beautiful girl, I would have put a Shotgun on the registry.  I plan on scaring the shit out of teenage boys in the future.


*I really hope that she learns to sleep through the night soon.  When it is time for Lady Karma to go back to work, we'll both have to split 3rd shift duties.
