Head Tale

Just whipped home to pick up a few things, fill up the car, charge the cell phone (we have Shea's mom's since that's one piece of techno-geekery that hasn't engulfed me yet) and so on. 

It's only been a couple days but I've been trying to come up with an analogy for what parenthood is like so far. 

Is it like work where the baby is the boss whom you're responsible to, trying to keep them happy while they have certain expectations of you based on the job description of “parent”?    

Or is it like a holiday with lots of fun times, photo-taking, joy and wonder (and maybe the occasional vomiting due to over-indulgence)?

Or is it like University with all-nighters (case in point), constant learning of new facts and skills, and the realization that this is going to be more expensive than you expected!

Or is it 4am and I'm rambling madly as the lack of sleep begins to affect my brain (no comments from the peanut gallery on that one, please!)
