I'm thrilled to read this Austin, but wonder if most humans can copy you. Maybe my work ethic isn't as developed as it should be, but, that seems like a pretty tough schedule. How much sleep did you usually get? Was this about that same as before you became a parent? How long did you keep to this schedule? Was finding a job with a 'real' 8 hour day a problem?

Anyway, you obviously had the ability to look at parenting and find it an interesting challenge, which is to your credit. I think that's somewhat rare amoung males and females. Well Done!
