Ugh

We're all alive over here, I swear. I'm just a slacker.

Luke took a few assisted steps the other day, which I was lucky to catch on camera. I'll stick it up here as soon as I stop being so lazy and upload it via camera card. Luke was holding onto Dad's fingers, but that's where the assistance stopped.

Kiddo is teething, but we've been lucky in that he's only had one fever thus far. He whines a bit, but he's still not really crying much. My little trooper is so awesome.

In an attempt to bring in some normal income rather than unemployment, I picked up a paper route. I started this past Monday and I had no idea it was as difficult as it is. Not only did I have to get up around 1am, but for the first three days the papers were late and I didn't get any of them til around 3 or 4 am. I was barely sleeping and it started to impede my ability to be a mom. I put Luke in his bouncy seat to watch his Your Baby Can Read video while I showered. Gamma (hubby's step mom) came down to play with him while I got clean. She let me know that I forgot to strap him into his seat when I walked away. I could have sworn he was secure, but I guess I was too tired to remember. After that, Gamma was supportive of me quitting. Hubby and Poppy (my father in law) came around when they found out I'd spent $90 in gas in 4 days and had probably not made enough to cover the gas money I was putting in. So after four very difficult days, I no longer have a paper route. I've applied for some real part time jobs that will help cover the money instead but be during hours I can still watch Luke.
