What the...
Obviously, I haven't been here in a while. If I had, I'm sure I would've been all "what the hell have they done to LJ?!?!" sooner. *LOL*
Wow...really not liking the way it looks now. :( Which is kind of funny since I'm actually crossposting this from Dreamwidth. *LMAO*
Life has been...well, wonderful really. Nio just turned one on the 11th. We're having his proper birthday party on the 2nd of November. Why so long afterwards? Because I didn't want a 40th party for myself. *LOL* So, Nio and I are sharing a party this year.
El will be coming back to work in January...which is horribly sad for her, understandably. I really wish that we could afford to live off of one income so that she could stay home with him. If we'd just win the damn lotto so we could pay the house off, she could. Of course, we actually need to PLAY lotto in order to win.
So, El will be coming back to work...and taking her job back. But, the good news is that I've done such a good job here that my boss (or El's boss...) will be finding me a new position -- which means that I won't be out of a job. That was a risk when leaving my last job to do this...but, it was a risk that I really needed to take.
The other day, I was playing with Nio in the living room. He looked up at Thomas' cabinet, smiled and said "Tom!". Then he giggled and clapped his hands. Of course, I haven't been able to get him to say it again since then, but...he most definitely said "Tom", which absolutely melted my heart. :)
Anyway...
Here's our little Wombat on his birthday.
I can't wait to see what he does next.
I hope everyone's doing well. <3 <3 <3
