Never a boring minute

In a bazillion years, when life gets slower, I'll be more consistent with posting to my blog. I think that means never. Life doesn't slow down, and that's a good thing. Inactivity is boredom. The good thing is, my life is never boring.

I'm working two jobs, Bryan is cutting back on his current job to start a company, I've got a short story getting published and I'm still shopping my first novel to publishers. The two jobs-thing is taking all my time right now - all that's not devoted to the kids, that is. Fortunately, one job is temporary and ends in 2 1/2 weeks, so things will get markedly more sane then, although we'll be slightly poorer as well, since that's when Bryan's hours cut back. But we'll do fine. Bryan's company has a great start and I'm predicting even better things to come. And I'm already planning that my brilliant sister will help them get organized on the business end. All those engineers will need her incisive mind to control their practical idealism. It does no good to build the product if you don't actually find the buyers for the product. They're not Kevin Costner.

The kids are adorable as usual. Alex and Jamie love kindergarten - art, gym and recess in particular. Because they compete with each other to tell me things, I actually get to hear what happens in their days. Amelia never told me anything much about school unless I was really lucky and patient. Amelia loves her second grade teacher, who apparently is an A+ teacher. The gym teacher, whom everyone loves, is an Ax (times) teacher - one step ahead of A+, according to Amelia.

Halloween is around the corner, so Bryan and I are working on costumes, with Auntie Di's able help on a Supergirl costume. Jamie wants to be a deep sea explorer and Alex a ghost. We tried convincing all of them to be ghosts, but no luck.
