do you have something you'd like to share with the rest of us, amazing larry???

wow. abby NAPPED today. we had to WAKE HER UP at 3:30 when she'd been in there since 12:30. i don't think she slept that whole time, but still.

lots of good news this week! early in the week i received an email from google. many months ago, i applied for a job as an independent contractor with google as a local business consultant, and received an email back saying they were inundated with applications and that they'd contact me when they needed me. well, i promptly forgot about it, and then bam! i got an email this past week approving my application! basically the position entails going around to locally-based businesses, taking a photo of the exterior and getting the hours/payments accepted/basic information. then i upload the information to google and get paid! i get a set amount for every business verified, and then another set amount if the business sends back the confirmation postcard. so, i'm pretty excited since this is a job that i can easily do with the kids, especially when the weather gets better.

more good news: i filed our taxes last night and we're getting a gigantic refund! woo!

and even more: we unpacked 7 boxes today! yes, that's right, we still have boxes that are not unpacked. don't judge....we have a lot of stuff. :)

and lastly but not leastly: ian now puts himself to sleep for naps! he gets sleepy, i put him in his crib, and without any fussing he goes to sleep. i still nurse him to sleep at night, and likely will until he weans, but still. this makes my daytime SO much easier.

ahhhh. life is good.
