Staying the Course


Okay we are now officially part of the parent club. It seems that every mom that I know happens to have a zoo membership and we are part of this elite group and loving it. We just went for our second trip to the zoo in less than a week and Faith really seems to enjoy it. Mommy does too as it's a nice outing to enjoy and of course some good exercise to walk through there and push the stroller. There are so many fun things to do in the summer and we are just loving it so far.


It has been a bit chaotic around the house as Jeff prepares for what we hope is his last exam and I work through my big projects. Each night after we put Faith to bed, we both retreat to our corners of the house (or caves as I like to refer to them) to get to work on our respective projects. We will be so glad when he's done and just PRAY that he passes....all prayers are welcome! So I will say that maybe I've been a bit on edge with this whole dynamic going on but I'm still trying to remember even in the super stressful parts that I am grateful and happy. Sometimes my stress gets the best of me which leads to some possible tears or even anger, but I'm doing my best to keep it in check. Faith is a big help with that too as it's pretty hard to get or stay upset when I look at those beautiful blue eyes and that adorable little toothy grin.


I feel very lucky to have some great projects right now, though I am dealing with the fear for a second time in my career of not getting paid for work done. I could hunt this guy down and let him have a peace of my mind, but I'm hoping that it will work out and he'll pay up.....this is the difficult aspect of this business though. So hoping for some good stuff for the weekend ahead, for a passing exam, a paycheck, and generally some great family time!
