I’ve not had a chance to get on and write a blog. Not that there aren’t things to write about though. I’m an Education/English major in school and what I’ve learned from college thus far is this: You work in spurts. For weeks I’ll not have anything to do assignment-wise and then all of a sudden, I’ll look at my syllabus and within a few weeks I have three papers due, homework due and I have to prepare for oral presentations. This does not mean that my family or my job stops and allows me time to breathe. That would be wonderful, but this isn’t a fairytale. And I don’t want all of that to stop. This is my job, as the head of household, to go to school, work and take care of the family. It should be my responsibility…shared with my wife of course.

Our shoppe on Etsy is doing well. We sold a vintage clock last night and Sharayah is learning how to felt. In the evenings we sit in bed and I read while she felts. It’s a nice system. I believe we are right on track with where we want to be with taking the shoppe to where we want it. Ultimately I would love it if The Little Quirky Shoppe could take over at least half of our needed monthly income so that I could take that extra class which would bump me up to over 16 credits per semester. My goal right now is Associates Degree. Of course I’m going all the way to my Masters, but everything in stages right?

The weather is just wonderful again in Florida. It’s 63 degrees right now and over the night it got down in the mid 50′s. We love that. Honestly, if it were overcast every day and never got above 65 degrees I don’t think I would ever find fault with the weather.

So, we have this baby that is due June 24th. Sharayah is already showing. We were joking the other day, “what if we’re having twins.” Then I was showing Jada how a baby grows in a mommy’s tummy and the first thing that came up on BabyCenter was, “Are you having twins?” We’re hoping BabyCenter isn’t prophetic.
Does anyone know if you just show sooner at number 3?

Alright, I have to get to work. Post office, Kindergarten class observations today and then some Etsy stuff and school. We’re going to a beer and bar-b-q this evening. I think we’re bringing the most unique beer. We made a stop at World Market last night and made our own 6-pack of beers from all over the world. My favorite is the Hebrew beer it says: “Hebrew: The Chosen Beer.”

Later.
