Uh…so I haven’t been around these parts for a few weeks–in my head I was all “…hmm…..okay it’s been like a week or so since I’ve written anything on the old blog…better get to gettin on that, for all five of my readers, lest they think I’ve gone to the Big Blog in the Sky.” and then I got here…and well, yeah it’s been a few weekS with a big fat old capital plural S.

So, how’s your summer going? Mine has been going by in a blur, which is either about to get better or worse–I’m not quite sure yet. I’ve been doing enough freelancing on the side to finally justify giving my oh-so-exciting part-time job at the old Non-Profit the heave ho. Seriously, the 18th (just 8 sweet weekdays away) is totally my last day of working for The Man. Then I’m totally working for myself, which is exciting, but a little terrifying. Luckily I have a few weeks to tell if I’m totally going to sink or swim in this whole “No really, I may have a small portfolio, but I’m a fantastic freelance web designer/coder and you should totally let me build a site for you” endeavor. Guess it’s a really good thing that what I make does not in any way represent a significant portion of the old household budget, right?

In other exciting news, I am also writing reviews over at Mommy Needs A Review. Kristen has some awesome contacts, so there will be some great giveaways. In fact, if you go to Mommy Needs A Review later on this evening, you’ll see what I’m talking about (HINT HINT, I AM GIVING AWAY SOMETHING YOU DEFINITELY WILL WANT TO WIN).

So tell me, what exciting things are you doing with your summer so far?

We had actual peeing on the potty this morning. Seriously, I’m going to have to work on ‘tucking’ with Owen because he really did pee all over the potty (sadly, not so much in the potty). But still! The even better part? With absolutely no prompting on my part, he has asked to sit on the potty twice now!!!

I never would have guessed that I would be so excited over someone peeing on the potty–in fact the Husband usually gets a stern talking to if there happens to be an errant puddle (however, I hasten to add that he’s very conscientious and this is usually not a problem) in the vicinity of the potty.

Yay for peeing on the potty.

Now back to your regularly scheduled programming.
