At points in my life I have gotten tired of how things were going for me. I am not sure if it is because I am tired or because my wife and I are expecting but I feel the pressure for change.
There are circumstantial changes that have taken place that may be helping as well. One being that I now work the graveyard shift. I no longer know what day it is from one day to the next, am always tired, and feel my skin tone is changing to a cadaverous hue but there are some positives. There is not a lot that goes on during the shift. Most of the work is done in the first 3 hours. Then as I like to describe the job I take hourly walks and look for dead people. This leaves me with lots of time. I have now also grown bored of almost all my online games. Having our computers crash and losing the internet at home has helped. This too equals more time.
So what to do with this time? Well there is a gym here at work and I have started working out. I love the feeling of getting into shape. OK I have only worked out twice and have had 4 days of incredible pain recovering but the idea is invigorating. I can't wait to cause myself more muscle distress.
OK that takes up less than an hour of my night. The rest is still in the planning and motivate my lazy butt stages.
Goals:
Clean and baby safe the house.
Start gardening, especially aromatic herbs.
Write more including blogging.
Writing I can do at work. Study on how to setup and grow a garden I can do at work. Cleaning and actually creating the garden have to be done at home. I am excited, and I think if I start getting in better shape through exercise I will have the energy and motivation to follow through with the others.
Wish me luck.

good luck!! I tell myself every school year I am going to make excellent use of the schools gym...sadly every year it gets buried underneath other things like papers, clubs, and general college craziness...ah well maybe next year. Tell Amy your plans for exercise maybe she'll ask you about it every time she calls like she does to me...I usually go to the gym once after every phone call lol. though You being older and wiser than I will probably have better luck :)
What is it about those gyms at work that make it so difficult to actually...work out? There's one at the library that I could - and meant to - use. But...I've been busy. :p
Good luck friend. Denying the "I'm tired" mentality to actually do something useful can be difficult. But once converted, much easier to keep going. :-)
Except for Saturdays I have not had caffeine (except in chocolate) for I believe over two weeks. Wasn't on my list of changes but I feel good about it, plus the regular exercise.
Wind in your sails! (That's pirate for good luck.) How is the baby proofing going? Honestly, I don't think you need to worry yourself too much. At least not until they are a bit older, say two years older...
