The baby is jumpin’!
I’m into the final week of taking care of baby Jessica by myself. Nancy is leaving Hunter College on Friday, and is going to be a stay-at-home mom from that point on. There are rumors of some part-time work for her, but it will be a much smaller commitment.
For several months, I’ve been taking care of Baby Jessica on my own during weekdays. It’s been a crazy, difficult job. It’s not the type of thing which leaves you proud and fulfilled — more often than not I end the week feeling like I’ve been a horrible dad.
However, as I posted before, I set the bar low for my fatherhood. If, at, the end of the day, Jessica 1. didn’t get hurt, and 2. didn’t go hungry, then the day was a success. By those criteria, I’ve been totally nailin’ it.
There are two major question marks in our lives right now. The first is:
1. How the heck are we going to get organized to move in the next 4 weeks? Nancy is way ahead of me on this, so I’ll just fall in line and take orders from her.
The second is: What the heck am I going to be doing in Chapel Hill? One thing that I know for sure is that I’m going to be teaching some lessons. The other big thing is that I’m going to be playing the organ.
I guess I’m at the point in my organ playing where it would be really good for me to have some jam sessions and possibly some gigs. So I guess that’s what I’ll do in North Carolina– drag my organ around to jam sessions and try to get my ‘live’ playing chops together.
