Things at the ole' homestead

So, I mentioned that there will be new things brewing here at the homestead. I went ahead and bought my domain yesterday. Now it's trying to figure out how to get it to do what I want it to. I have limited technical skills, so this blog will stay here for the time being while I work out all the quirks and kinks of the new site.

Eventually, this blog will be found at onewritingmomma.com. But for now, I'll still be plodding along here.

Other fronts, Miss Abigail is teething at 3 months, trying to talk (which is HILARIOUS!), and trying her hand at rolling over. Now if she could only get her head and legs to work together, she'd be well on her way to getting moving!

And, like everyone else I seem to run into lately, we are feeling the pinch of the economy. The Man's job is barely existing, finding other work is a joke in this part of town, and taxes can't come fast enough. Little things like, oh, RENT and bills are taking over. On top of that, we REALLY need another car. Preferably one that fits us all in it. That's originally what taxes were going to be used for, well that and getting the baby her crib. Rent seems to be taking precedence over the vehicle. Unfortunately, that means carting people around and not being able to pick kids and the Man up when the really need it. Conflicting schedules are kicking my ass. That and the fact that at three months, Abby still refuses to enjoy a car ride.

From the land of screaming babies!

For the last 3 days or so I've had a teething 3 month old.

Yes, you read that right. Three months, and she's already got one tooth coming through, and a few more that you can tell are on the verge of breaking skin.

Needless to say, she's been MORE than inconsolable. Thursday she slept for a total of an hour all day, and screamed whenever she wasn't sleeping or eating. Everyone in the house was thrilled when she FINALLY fell asleep for the night. And proceeded to sleep for 11 hours.

On other fronts, I'm going to try to control the venting about the newborn, however, one of the reasons I started this blog was to get things off my chest, and she is the one commanding all the attention in our house lately.

I have actually been able to keep up on the emails, only behind on today's and yesterday's.

My goal is to write here every other day. While I realize this is a challenge with 4 kids under foot, I think if I can get things done once they are sleeping, things should work the way I want.

The man starts his new job on Tuesday, selling for AT&T. We'll see how that works.
