The shoe I didn't think of
D got laid off last week. Well, that was a worry I hadn't thought of. When he came home early on the day it happened, I actually cried with happiness - yeah, three weeks' worth of help with these crazy kids! (Three week because that's how much severance pay he gets.) Its been mostly good so far - I'm not always the go-to parent which is very nice. He's out at an interview now and has another one on Friday. He's got what I hear are very marketable skills in his field which is very big where we live. I hope that actually means he finds a job with a reasonable commute that he really likes that pays well soon. Is that too much to ask for?
Bacon is getting to be a lot of fun again, but its new different fun. She's definitely growing up. A (who needs a nickname) is very sunny when awake and a relatively good sleeper. But, he has a tough time at the transition between awake and asleep. If we don't time things well, we get 10-20 minutes of wailing before he finally wakes up or, more likely, goes to sleep. Depending on what else is going on at the time, this can be a serious bummer. But, to count blessings, he's not colicky and generally doesn't cry much for other reasons.
Bacon turns two on Saturday. A is now three months old. Wow, when did this happen?
