I am finally getting ready to “grow up”

    I have finally made a plan to better my life.   After floating around kitchens and other "odd" jobs, I have set goals.

    I know, I know.  You saying to your-self, "Our one Kilted Eric is setting….. Goals!"  Well, before I tell you what I am plotting, how about I explain why, so everybody is up to speed.

    I am married, with a handsome 2 year old boy, and zoo amount of animals.  Yes, we are planning to have more children, and if a certain psychic in Ireland has anything to say about it, the next child will be Twin Boys.

    So, I am a family man.  Like I said at the beginning, I have worked 10 years in kitchens, and a few other "odd" jobs.  One thing I have learned is, making a living for a family in a kitchen is hard.  Very hard.  I want (and she wants too) my wife to be able to be a stay at home mom for our children.  After doing the stay at home dad thing when the Boy was first born, I understand it REALLY IS A FULL TIME JOB AND ANY MAN THAT GETS ON HIS WIFE’S CASE ABOUT IT NEEDS TO BE WHACKED IN THE HEAD BY SOMETHING HEAVY.  Sorry about that, didn’t mean to shout.

    Any how, what I need to do this is, drum roll please, money.  I try to live a life not overly dependent on cash, but there are something’s that you can’t get with a smile and a joke (unless your a comedian, ha ha).  Thus, I have a goal, to work at a job that pays me enough money to allow wify dearest to be a great stay at home mom, pay our mortgage bills and have a little left over for a Pizza night once in a while. 

    Now for the plan, or if your follow (which I am a student of) the GTD (or Getting Things Done) method of doing things, Project: How to archive this goal.

    If you know me even a little bit, you have guessed that I am a tad bit of a geek, just a little mind you, some people think I am very hip and cool.  (I have realized that those people are geeks too.  Humm)  I am going to do something with Technology.  Computers or programming, or networks, or something.  I don’t know that far yet.  I am thinking I will go to a school in the Fall for "technology".

    I am going to confer with some family, and a couple people I know who do IT work, and get some ideas.  So, if you dear reader have any ideas, toss them my way.  I could use the help.

    I am looking at something in the realm of 1 or 2 year school, probably night classes so I can work during the day.   That’s what I have for now, I will keep you posted.

Until we meet again……KE
