Point and Click Typing - cruise control for Mommies

To think, GIII should only be a few days old, yet a month has already passed. The days are slow, but the weeks are fast. He's growing quite well, and aside from being gassy and hating it (you can rarely get a burp out of him, and he squaks in pain and frustraition when he tries to toot), he's settling in well.

I can't help but be smitten with my boys (even when G Jr doesn't listen or when GIII keeps me up all night). Looking at my youngest makes me realize just how much my oldest has grown. Oddly enough, I miss the baby stage. This coming from someone who swore she would never have kids.

It's been a challenge. One-handed computer work was easier with G Jr because of the setup. I had abig desk where I could move the keyboard in range of my free hand and still be able to reach my Pepsi or snack. The chair I had had fixed arm rests that would hold my lap pillow snuggly. This desk is tiny and the adjustable arms are busted. Mind you, at least it provides me an intellectual outlet in compairson to children's television programming, which is the only channels G Jr will let us watch :P

So, I've become a user of the on-screen keyboard in Windows. You want to see slow? This makes 2-finger typists look like they're breaking the speed of sound. But it's better than nothing and without it, this post would not be... But now my mouse hand's tired...
