Drum Roll Please

I'm back. Well, not in the physical sense, seeing as I really haven't ever gone anywhere. I've decided to give this thing another go. To be exact, I decided that nearly a week ago, but haven't been able to stay awake long enough to get it done. 60 plus hours a week in a car dealership over an hour from home doesn't really allow me a whole lot of time for anything.

Today I took time. Kelly and I carved a pumpkin for Jack. My mom bought one of those nifty pumpkin carving kits, and we decided to do the 'haunted house.' Honestly, I think it came out looking pretty good, especially so given the fact that we've never done that before.

Jack cried a lot today. I think he might be getting yet another ear infection. Poor little man. I can't help but wonder, maybe a bit selfishly, if some of his crying is because I'm not around more. I'm pretty much always at work.

I'm probably paranoid; I'm sure it's just the terrible almost-twos and an ear infection. Why? Because Aeryn lights up like a christmas tree every time she sees me, and if Jack were suffering from lack-of-daddy, she would be too.

I'm suffering from lack of Kelly time, and Jack and Aeryn time. Hopefully I'll have a good few months, put some money back, and be able to start working from home so I can have the best of both worlds.

Well, it's Halloween now. I'm going to call it a night; hopefully I'll sleep peacefully tonight and have a great day tomorrow. I need one.
