Somthin's got to give...

I tell you what. Something has to give around here!! There are not enough hours in the day. Not that there ever were, but it's gotten worse. Between trying to work enough consulting hours, trying to keep Hubby's business' bills paid and invoices sent out, jobs lined up and estimates completed, the little time that both Buddy and Little Miss sleep is just not enough. I guess that's why it's 10pm on a Friday night and I'm on the computer entering receipts and finishing up desk work. I already put in 18 hours consulting this week, and I should've done more, but there just wasn't enough extra time. I was going to go in tomorrow, but Hubby came home and informed me that he's working all day tomorrow again, so there goes that idea. When the kiddos are up, I don't want to (not to mention it's not physically possible) to do anything besides either play with them and/or keep them from destroying themselves and their surroundings. This is a full time job. :) So, I think I've decided that it's everything that has to do w/ my house and or my hobbies (no, I don't really have any.....) that are going by the way side. I'm considering hiring someone to clean my pig sty of a house. I can't handle it any more. And, I doubt that Hubby is going to jump in and mop the floors. :) Not that he has any time to do it either. I'm not complaining, I think I'm just realizing that I cannot do 3 hours worth of work in 1 hour. It just can't be done. Try as I may... Hmmmm...the other thing that's going by the side is exercise. I wish I could fit more in, in fact it's normally the highlight of the day for me, but well, it's ending up on the cutting room floor, so to speak. Due to the fact that I feel like it's a bit out of control over here, I depend WAY too much on my mom. Don't know what I'd do if she didn't live nearby. She pitches in and watches the kids when my "it will only be 3 hours at work" turns into 5, or when I have to wait for an hour in the waiting room at the doctor or lab for one kid or another. God bless her. :)

We went and looked at another house tonight. Of course, to Hubby it's the best house ever. They all are. We'll just have to see if this one works out. It's not my dream house...but then again, none of them ever are.

Okay, it's now after 10pm and I haven't showered yet and I've got to feed Little Miss in, oh, about 25 minutes, so I'd better get to it.

In the car...again

Well, it's been a busy couple of weeks. I have exactly 18 minutes before I have to feed the Little Miss again. Oh, now it's only 17. I can think of at least 10 other things that I should be doing right now...the floors are dirty..I should file our sales tax for June...oh, I should file our federal taxes...it's the end of a quarter, so there's paperwork for that...I should.... well, I should do a lot of things!! But I'm not.

I been driving back and forth to bring Little Miss to the Dr. for the past week and a half. She developed jaundice again. This morning was the 3rd time she's had to have blood work done, and this afternoon will be the 3rd (or maybe 4th??) Dr. visit to see how she's doing. The good news is that's they are concerned, but we think it's under control. But it sure isn't a lot of fun to do baby blood work every other day. I even had to do a urine collection, good times! :) She aslo has a cold from her big brother so she can't really sleep. It never ends!! :) The other good news is that she's packing on the pounds. She was 10lbs 2 oz at the Dr. last Thursday, up from 9lbs 15oz at her Tuesday visit. Buddy has been doing really well with all of the car rides, waiting rooms and whatnot. He pretty much thinks that any time we get into the car we're going to the Dr. Between the 10 or so visits and blood work for me the week before Little Miss was born and well child visits, eye dr...I think we pretty much go every week. In fact, we've got some kind of appointment every Tuesday for the rest of July. Yep, "stay at home mom". sure. Speaking of Dr. visits, at my 6 week check, my Dr. again brought up Little Miss and her crazy placenta. She even drew me a picture. Apparently it was a very serious thing that could have made for a very serious problem for Little Miss, but God is good and we didn't even know about it until after she was born and everything was okay.

Speaking of SAHM, yesterday was my first day of "official unemployment". Not really, it was my first day as a contract employee. I got up at 4:15 and made some coffee and went to work. As in, I closed the door to the office. I think the whole working from home thing is going to go pretty well. I may need to put a lock on the door for Buddy, though! Now I've got my little bro to come and build me a new computer. Mine was fine, but I need something better or I might as well watch the grass grow when I'm editing video or working on a big poster!! Not that it's any worse than my work computer....but I'm impatient!

Hubby has been staying busy with work, client meetings and meetings at church. I just cannot believe how fast the weeks go by when we're always feeling busy. It's a good busy, but some weeks I'd just like to have nothing to do. :) Nah, we wouldn't like that either.

Well, it's now 7 minutes until feeding time, and I'd better get a bag packed for the Dr. (Didn't bring anything w/ me to the lab this morning, spent and hour in the waiting room, and had a lovely blowout poopy diaper I couldn't really do anything about. You'd think that I was new at this or something!! Nah, not new, just unprepared!). So, I'm packing a bag for this afternoon's trip, thereby guarenteeing that there won't even be a wet diaper to deal with...they never happen when you're actually prepared. I also need to start and upload of a file for work.....Guess I'm not going to get to the floors. :)
