Living Life

It's been a typical Tuesday around the Linder household. Ashleigh went to school, I worked, Brian worked, and Addy ate and slept. It was an okay day, not too hectic, no deadlines, and was just another day of living life. Jessica started working for us today doing data entry. We have gotten so far behind on the paperwork...it started at the beginning of the year when the accountant was auditing our QuickBooks...during this time we couldn't enter any new information until they were done. Due to the amount of work it took to fix the problems in QuickBooks we couldn't enter anything for close to a month...by this time, the amount of paperwork backed up was already overwhelming, Brian started getting real busy with work, I was back to work and very busy, so it just hasn't gotten done. Jessica wanted to help us out to get us caught up (for free no less) and we agreed, only we insist on paying her!

We had a tee-ball game tonight. Ashleigh didn't get a hit again. We really need to work with her, but there is just no time left on the schedule. But all in all the kids did really well. I think we only have 2 more games left.

I truly wish I didn't have to work so I could spend more time with the girls. Even though I am with them all the time, I am always preoccupied with work. So I'm here, but not here for them. Maybe someday things can change, I just pray they understand what their Mommy and Daddy have to do.

Oh my goodness, I'm going to be 36 years old in a couple of days! What's up with that?!?!
