I'm Singing the Baby Blues, In Case You Missed It...

Good morning, South Windsor! Today is Monday, March 11, 2013; there are 295 days left in the year.

So, now that my son is on his way into the world - my wife the Yogurt Siren insists on providing me daily updates - I’m having second thoughts about this whole thing.

I mean, everything she tells me sounds pretty scary. (My wife has been through all of this before, bringing two kids into our marriage, while I used to have two cats and a dog.) And the problem is she says it with such glee.

For example, she told me that I have a lot of drool, barf, pee and poop in my future. Which I would normally agree with, except she said that said drool, barf, pee and poop will be the baby’s, not mine.

Ugh.

Oh, and the sleepless nights. People, I can’t function without 18 hours of sleep a day. So I have no idea what I’m going to do. I may subcontract out my daddy duties until the kid is, like, 5.

Then we can play baseball.

My wife can’t wait for the baby to be born, not only because she wants this fountain of bodily fluids to join the world, but also because she wants her body back. No lie, when she waddles around the house, I do my best Morgan Freeman imitation and declare, “March of the Yogurt Siren.”

I find this to be unendingly hilarious. She, on the other hand, is never amused. Strange.

Anyhoo, I can certainly wait for our son’s birth. Like 10 years or so.

Anyone have any suggestions how to delay the due date? I’m all ears.

Not a lot going on today in South Windsor, so I’m listing five stories you may have missed over the last few days.

1. Here’s a story on the Hi-G building, which will be the subject of a redevelopment agency meeting on Wednesday.

2. Check out these amazing photos from the St. Patrick’s Day parade in Hartford this weekend.

3. This is a feature that Vernon LE Chris Dehnel and I write on little oddities in our lives. This week we discuss the most difficult thing to find in grocery stores.

4. The Bonefish Grill at Evergreen Walk is getting ready for its grand opening. The restaurant is looking to hire. Click here for more details.

5. Are you not like me and have a small family? Perhaps these cars may fit your bill.
