Good luck, and I hope your wife feels better. Be sure to come back to at least announce the birth of your new little one.

Great rewards are seldom won without great effort.  Best of luck to you and the family. 

Feel free to stop by, post a "HELP" and we will shower you with  :hug:, Keep up the Good Work, You Can Do It and similar things you don't want to hear.

Thanks everyone.  I don't mean to say that I am going away for good, just won't be as involved anymore.  By that I mean that I won't be able to read every post made on the board as I have done since I joined.  I still intend to pick and choose my involvement, as you people are my friends.  Just won't be on top of all the gossip and drama anymore. :(

I have an inkling of what you're doing.  My dad was 29 when I was born.  He'd just started college on the GI bill, which only paid tuition back then.  He worked 40 hours a week at a cotton mill, went to school full-time, graduated in 3 years with a degree in accounting and a B average.  My sister was born during his last year there.  Mom couldn't work because of us kids.  It was hard on all of us, but his college degree made a difference in our lives.  It's tough, but you can do it.

I hope all three of you feel better soon and that the MBA program goes well for you.  How long will it take to get your MBA?

Ouch. Hopefully, you will get through this. I can't imagine dealing with that kind of situation very well.

There is some hardcore commitments there. Don't burn yourself out mate.
This OUGHT to be bottom of your priorities. I think freeing up some time should require you not logging in for a while.
You know what will be happening here. Same old same.
Will be happy to see you and happy knowing why you are not here.
All the best.
I2 today is not i2 of yesteryear. It is a knitting circle. Those that participate be they nice or asshats know their place and the price to be there. Odeon is the overlord

.Benevolent if you toe the line.

Think it is I2 of old? Even Odeon is not so delusional as to think otherwise. He may on occasionally pretend otherwise but his base is that knitting circle.

Censoring/banning/restricting/moderating myself, Calanadale & Scrapheap were all not his finest moments.

You are :pirateship: MLA.

And, when little Ellie is wrecking your nights, you can have her in a baby-bag on your tummy, while posting on I2.  :-*

This post serves two purposes. 

The first is to bitch about my weekend.  I spent all Thursday night with a sick puking toddler.  On Friday afternoon my wife caught the same lovely virus and started puking.  By midnight she was so dehydrated that she started having regular contractions.  I spent all Friday night in the hospital with her getting that under control.  Saturday afternoon I caught it as well and have been huddling in bed shaking and puking until about 3 pm today when I started to come around.

The second is to share a change that is upcoming in my life and explain why I probably won't be around as much anymore.  Beginning Monday (a week from today) I begin my first round of classes.  I have entered an MBA program that is expected to require at least 30 hours a week of my time on top of my 50 hours a week at work.  Combined with raising a toddler and being a decent husband this will probably leave little time for anything else.  When the newborn comes I will probably have to sacrifice sleep and bathroom breaks as well.

Anyway, just an FYI before anyone (schleed) starts breaking my balls about telling people I am leaving the site.

Wow, you have a lot going on!
I hope everything goes well for you with the MBA and especially hope the small person arrives safely and happily.
I have a 16 wk old and understand how tiring it is , good luck and enjoy every second
