Okay this is the 3rd time I’ve attempted to write a blog on this darn site. I hope this works. If not, I’m giving up for now. 
This past week has been pretty crazy. I’ve been working more hours so that we can make more ends meet and not have to struggle so much. Unfortunately, we won’t be able to see the fruits of this labor until after the holiday season (payday isn’t until the end of December), but hey, I’m still looking forward to being able to pay all of our bills on time for next month!
This week, several things happened. Lily Bean turned 5 months old yesterday, we went to dinner with Leaf and Louise (my old supervisor and his wife) on Tuesday night, and yesterday something important happened which I won’t divulge just yet. None of these things are related to each other, though. Heh. I’m glad the week is over, as there have been crisis after crisis at work, and it was just very busy in general. I feel like I’ve neglected our home, but I’m very fortunate to have a stay-at-home hubby who is also willing to do some housework and keep the house generally in good shape while I’m at work. Woo!
(Anyone need more info on coilovers? There ya go.)
Yesterday, it started snowing furiously in Surrey. And by evening, it had all stopped and was washed away by some hard rain. Today, there is hardly any evidence that there was snow at all. Bummer. I kinda want it to snow. It’s so pretty and it gets me in the holiday spirit. I just wish I didn’t also have to be on the road when it happens. Next time it snows (and actually sticks), we’re going to suit Lily Bean up in her snow suit and go out and take pictures. Dave suggested making a snowman in our front yard in her size, and then taking pictures of her beside it to indicate that she is a giant baby next to a regular-sized snowman. I’m game!
I’m waiting for the Lily girl to wake up so I can start my morning routine with her, but in the meantime, I’m doing some things that I’ve been neglecting, such as various house chores and some blogging and paperwork. It’s hard to do any of these things at home when the baby demands so much attention.
