It has been close to two weeks since my last blog. Seems like I never have enough hours in the day. I’m trying to keep cool in the face of adversity as I try to continuously juggle work, writing, the family, the house and all the other stresses of modern life.
Here we are in October. Amy and I took some time and decorated the house for Halloween. I can’t help but think that Christmas—also known as Stressmas—is right around the corner. Even beginning to think about gifts and such ties my stomach in knots. It’s not that I am opposed to giving gifts. I gift with the best of ‘em, baby! It is just that the paychecks are a little slender this year and that makes it difficult.
While I should not be complaining about my hours, I am working six days at work as the result of a firing. It sucks that they had to let one of our guys go (he has no one to blame but himself) but it secures my hours during a season where hours can get pretty scarce. Still, I have kids to feed.
Of course, I am still trying to write a considerable amount as I am currently between assignments. Ugg. Just not enough hours in the day. Which is partially why my Blog and my MySpace page are so neglected.
My darling daughter Lauren turned 4 on the second! And I have Alex’s birthday, Amy’s birthday, and Jason’s birthday all stacked up in the next five weeks. As a result, I’m off to the blood bank to pay for presents. Or maybe the sperm bank. I hear they pay money hand over fist!
