Update 10.03.05
We are still really swamped here with freelance, and I'm truly worried about how much of our time it is taking. My kids have gotten used to us being on the computer a lot, and I hate it. I need some quick but fun-filled activities to do with them, but honestly, what they want is for me to jsut sit on the floor with them while they play. And I do, but the whole time, I'm thinking of the shitload of work there is to do. I have been up until all hours trying to get work done, and it is killing me.
On top of that, Jeff's car keeps "dying" when he's driving. Just cutting off. In traffic. He'll coast to the side, and it'll restart, but it seems like we'll be having to buy a new car soon. And we just can't afford it, and I'm really stressed about it. We still have this credit card debt that we're working on paying off, and I'm trying to set some money aside as well, but with all the work we're doing, we're spending more too, on food mainly, as we never seem to have "time" to cook. I need to go and put food in the crockpot now do that it won't happen tonight at dinner time.
We've also been having visitors: my parents were here from Tuesday night till Saturday morning, and Parker was in heaven. He loves them so much and was very sad to see them go. My sister is coming this Friday night and leaving Monday morning, so, I'm definitely looking forward to that. Jeff and I couldn't get away when my parents were here (we were working on freelance every spare second -- it really was crazy!), but my sister has already said we're to go to the movies while she's here (we're gonna see SERENITY!!!!), so Jeff and I will finally have a date since before Kira was born!
Parker's birthday is the week after, and I have given it fleeting thoughts. So, he'll be having three friends and the two baby siblings over for his birthday. I still need to plan it out more and invite the friends over.
Then there is Halloween. Parker said Saturday, when I asked him for the first time what he wanted to be for Halloween, that he wants to be a scarecrow. So, what shall I make Kira to go with it? We were going to make her a sheep and Parker "Little Boy Blue" or something like that, but now I don't know!!
Oh yeah -- Parker has started wiping when he poos! And he's a pro on the computer (go figure).
