In Like A Lion?

Spring has almost sprung,  Today there was a wintry mix but Spring is here... tomorrow... hopefully.  This Spring is going to be a good one.

In just 2 weeks we are scheduled for a C Section and Baby #2 will finally be here.  Grandma Linda will be flying in from St. Paul to stay for a few weeks and help out with the new grandchild.  I can't believe that the delivery date is almost here already.  It seems like just the other day Sara and I
were finding out about the pregnancy and starting to plan for our next child.  Where do the days go?Everyone is doing well.  I think we're all just getting anxious to meet the baby.  There is a significantly less amount of freaking out this time around.

Sara is doing well, although I think she's ready to have the baby already.  She enjoys being pregnant but by the end,understandably, is more than ready to get the kid out of there.   Evie Sue is genuinely excited about having a baby sister.  At least that's what she tells us.  We'll see what happens when the baby comes home from the hospital, my work schedule changes again, and Momma is home all day every day.  The neat thing about having children, one of the many I should say, is that you can be ready to ring their neck one minute and then they do or say something completely off the wall, eat a booger, or use your own words on you and all of the sudden your laughing at how upset you'd been.  At least, that's what happens to me.

In other news, I received a rejection letter from the Maryland State Arts Council for my stage play Diseased Wit.  I submitted it for an Individual Artist Award/Grant and it was not selected.  It's disappointing but not a crushing blow,  I really enjoy the script and will resubmit it in the future after a possible revision.  That's writing, folks.  I don't have anything in the hopper now.  Recently replaced my computer and cannot access old scripts without a software that I'm missing, and I also don't have a lot of time to write these days.  I am gathering ideas, and will try to organize a few projects that hopefully I can revisit as the Summer goes by.

The next time I write on this site I'll have a newborn in hand, my 40th birthday around the corner and a big move on the horizon.  2015 is gonna be a big year for this little expanding family.
