Week 16

There was a slight shift in the dynamic of our household this week. I started an old job back up again and am now spending quite a lot of time at the computer, that is when August lets me. My goal is to accumulate 20 hours a week, and after the first week I must say it is going to be quite a feat. Don't get me wrong, I am quite thankful to have the extra income and even more grateful that I didn't really have to join the masses to search out a job, it just kind of casually fell into place. Come to think of it, that's how all of my jobs have happened thus far...my old professor George Mann was correct that it's a little about talent and a lot about who you know! 

Needless to say, it was quite the juggling act this past week. Don't worry August is as fat and happy as ever, I just can't say as much for my appearance or for that of the house. Oh and sleep has dropped down to 3rd on the list of priorities. But now that I need a little more independence throughout the day, August acquired yet another entertainment contraption. He really loves to stand (with support of course) and bounce around so I thought it would be the perfect time to introduce him to an exersaucer. He loves it! He hasn't quite figured out how to spin it around to the different toys, but he will stand there and play for a very long time. So now I'm thinking of setting up a little circuit workout to keep his day exciting, much like they have at that Curves for women place. He has quite the collection now: bouncer, swing, doorway jumper, floor gym thing, and now his exersaucer. I can just set them all up in the living room and let him have at it. He also has a new swing hanging on our balcony, but that needs a little more adult supervision than the others. Moral of the story, I hope all of his contraptions keep him happy and not feeling neglected :) Hopefully this next week will help us find a little more routine to our day.
