Memo to All: Today is Torture Little Bit Day

Or at least that is how LB is acting... I swear, you would think by the sound of her screams that feeding her, changing her, and holding her close is a form of Chinese water torture. My usually happy little baby is letting me know in no uncertain terms that she is pissed. Unfortunately, as she lacks certain necessary communication skills, I am clueless as to why. Is it bad that I've given up trying to please her and have instead resorted to sticking her in her swing in the hopes that it will eventually shut her up? And that if it doesn't work, well, at least I was able to get a shower? Perhaps I really AM torturing her after all.

In other news, this here blog is going to be moved in the next couple of weeks - so be on the lookout for that. Hopefully it will be sooner rather than later but with the disproportionate rate with which our closing date is drawing near (quickly) and the number of boxes I have packed (zero), the move to the new web address might ended up being a month or more away.

All New Everything

I am officially no longer an employee of Sona MedSpa. I've got two new gigs that I'm excited about - one a part-time job for a huge, nationwide investment firm and the other a sales consultant gig for a friend's technology firm. Basically I'm working the part-time job until the technology firm takes off and becomes stable, consistent income at which point I'll be able to work from home.

Also, we are less than a month away from closing on our houses and I am VERY ready for that to be over. The purchasing experience has been great but the selling experience... let's just say it sucks hard. I'm going to be trying my best not to stick a pen in the eye of our buyer at closing.

Foolish Love

I don't want to hold you
And feel so helpless
I don't want to smell you
And lose my senses
I'll smile in slow motion
With eyes in love

Full Speed Ahead

Well, we sold our house - in five days. Luckily, we also found a house in that amount of time and our offer was (eventually) accepted.

So now Mr. L and I have five weeks to pack the house, with a month-old infant in tow, no less. I'm also returning to work this week, but will probably only be working at my current job for a few weeks. I'll expound more on that when all is said and done, if we ever get to that point.

I swear, we don't ever slow down around here. I am really hoping that once we move into the new house we can just chill the hell out for a while.

I'm worn out.

Life Comes At You Fast

Let's try and recap the last month or so:

• da Momma deployed for Iraq
• Little Bit arrived
• Father-in-law was hospitalized for an eight inch blood clot in his thigh
• My computer died
• Mr. L's computer died
  
• L and I decided to sell our house
• L and I started looking for a new house
• Little Bit was diagnosed with thrush
• I was diagnosed with thrush - in my BREASTS

So yeah, things have been REAL hairy around our house.

Good Morning!

Mr. L woke me up this morning (which is a much nicer way to awake than to the sounds of a fussy baby) and the first thing he said was, "I am so sorry to wake you, but you have to look outside."

SNOW!!

I haven't seen snow since I moved down to North Carolina two years ago and I've MISSED it. Imagine that, me - missing snow!

It was also nice to wake up and realize that Little Bit had almost completely slept through the night. I was only up once with her for a quick change and a bite to eat. My happy little baby generally sleeps in four hour increments during the night, giving mommy and daddy some much needed sleep.

Hopefully we can keep this up!
