So my beautiful little girl isn't loving sleeping so much lately. That's right, this wonderful little baby who slept through the night at about four months has suddenly decided
that she wants to wake up every night around 1am, then up for the day around 6am, and that she really doesn't like to nap much at all. This has left me a little bewildered, most definitely stressed out, and on days when my dear mother isn't here with time to get very little done. It's not her fault, I'm sure it has to do with all the new skills that she's learned or possibly more teething. That's what the books say! I know it's part of the first year but man can it make for some frustrating days! I let it get to me yesterday but am working hard to keep myself in check today. Not worth it, she's just a baby and we are most definitely learning together. How can you get uspet when you look in these eyes anyhow?!

I started on an assignment that has the potential to be very long term, but I'm questioning if it's worth the time put into it. You have to walk a fine line in freelance writing of paying your dues and not spending too much time on assignments that aren't lucrative. I'm talking with a few other potential clients that could lead to long term but I never believe it until the money is in the Paypal account. As I've learned in the seven months that I've been at it, don't count on anything becuase it will likely change as quickly as it came to you. It's just the nature of the business!
I keep reminding myself that the holidays are literally right around the corner. It's amazing how you start measuring time by your kids. I look at Faith and think "is it really possible that we're about to celebrate your first Thanksgiving". I feel like she was just born yesterday and here we are just two weeks away from turkey day. That's the stuff that brings us joy and no matter how frustrating the day can get with work or lack of napping, that's the good stuff that it's all about!
