hello again

A quick recap. Still no net, we got one of the older computers working but it can't have the net. The first few days were hard, then I realized that I was getting a lot done :), but now it's been a month and the novelty has worn off! :) Hopefully once we move hopefully we'll have it.

Paul is getting big, still 20 pounds, but getting longer. He's growing so fast! Chip is back to his old schedule (5pm to 3am) which is nice. I had so much more I had planned on saying, but it has been forgotten! (of course). Oh, we got the digital camera out of layaway, so once we have the net I will post lots of pictures.

here's a note from Paul.

crazy stuff

We are currently computerless. I'llreply to everyone once we either get it fixed (not likely it's the hard drive on a laptop) or get a new one - which will be awhile.

We had a small fire the other day, that was pretty scary. Okay Paul's getting upset (we are at the library) so I should go.

camping

On a whim we decided to go camping Wednesday. We both needed to get out of the house and it's been awhile since we had gone (last year). It was fun! Got lots of pictures of Paul on his first camping trip. It was crazy hot though, way crazy hot! We did a lot though, so that was nice. It was a nice little break from normal life. We did decide, no more summer camping! Just too hot. Or rather, no more summer camping without at least a fan! We actually brought one, but forgot to bring an extension cord (if we had gotten an electric site, the electricity is far from where the tent would be). Well I am off to bed, so, so tired!

I hate days like this

In the last two days Paul has only slept for about 18 hours, no naps at all and he doesn't want to nurse much either. Just crying and hold me, that's all. The house is a HORRID mess, I just can't stand it. He will NOT sleep, I'm going to go crazy. I yelled at him for the first time ever and told him to just go to sleep already. I feel awful. I hate these days, hate them. Add to that, that we haven't been able to fix the computer at all and the cd drive does not work and I haven't had any luck uploading our files to the net, so it's either, keep using a computer that doesn't work (very hard to do) or lose everything. Sometimes I just want to throw it out the window! :) I know the files aren't truly important in the big picture. I just spent hours upon hours putting all the music on the computer and fixing the pictures. The music would be lost forever (we sold all of our cd's). Anyhow I should go, I am sitting here listening to him cry himself horse so I should probably get him.

our new endeavor

endeavor
For awhile we have wanted to have an Ebay store or a website (Ebay is kind of expensive). We aren't quite there (need to finish the planning and work on what we'd like to sell, mostly homemade things/crafts and woodworking. But the precursor to that is a website that's just about us and the things we have found that work. Like the recipes for our soap and laundry detergent. We got the site yesterday, so now we just have to built it and put stuff on there! I'm excited. It's just nice to have something concrete to see that we really are making some progress towards simplicity in our lives and living naturally. Plus there is no advertising on the site so we feel we are making headway in living the non-consumerist life that we really want. Yes we are weird!

Once I actually set up the basic site I'll post a link. I have to figure it all out. :)

family

Some recent happenings have made me have some deep thoughts :). We don't have a lot of contact with Chip's family for a few reasons. But something kind of struck my today. Paul has this whole other family that he doesn't know. He hasn't gotten to meet them. And because we haven't gotten many pictures developed and I don't have emails for them, they haven't seen pictures either. We both really want to get up to Connecticut so he can meet them, we just simply don't have the money for the trip (or really a car we are comfortable taking). Hopefully soon though.
