Big Things are Coming Soon......

...So Stay tuned.....

Hi Ho! Hi Ho! It's Off To Work I Go......

If I didn't know any better I would say I was turning into a workaholic. Because when sane people get bored on a Sunday night, they don't start researching sample enrollment forms for new clients, or draft emails and make to-do lists for first thing Monday morning.

For the past 2 or 3 weeks I have worked EVERY DAY up at the Taekwondo school, including Saturday and Sunday. At first it was difficult getting adjusted to working that much. However, we are losing an employee very soon so it will just be Jim, Annika, and I running the show, so I needed to adjust slowly. Meaning that I HAVE to be at TKD only on Tuesday, Thursday, & Friday, Monday & Wednesday are not required and when I go in, it's only for a couple hours. It started out with, "Maybe I'll come in on Monday/Wednesday" but now I have so much crap to do it's "I should go in on Sunday so I can get it done!"

Luckily Annika LOVES it at TKD. I don't love that she is stuck at the family business all day while Mama and Daddy works. But Ms. Social (BTW I have NO idea who she inherited that from) asks to go to TKD every morning so she can play with all of her friends, instead of boring old Mama. I do love that we can do "school" during the day and work on cutting, pasting, numbers & letters, where she probably wouldn't if she was in a day care.

So I may not be around much because when I get REALLY bored I crack open an excel sheet and balance the checkbook! WHOO! Crazy stuff!!!

It's ALIIIIIVE!!

I am sitting here on my laptop that was once dead but me awesomely cool husband fixed it!!! It required a new hard drive though.. but a new hard drive is ALOT cheaper than a brand new laptop!!

Thank you Jim!!! I love you!

I lost my camera....

Granted I haven't looked for it very hard. But it wasn't where I left it, so either someone took it or it grew legs and walked away. I really hope it is the 1st possible option because it had some awesomely cool pictures of Annika taking her first Taekwondo class.

I am going to form a search party tomorrow and try to find it. If I do then expect some AWWWW inspiring pictures later this week :-)

Here fishy, fishy....

We added one more member to the Null family this past week.

Meet Rarity.

Annika wanted a pet. Mama wanted to get Annika a pet. Daddy thought 4 cats was good enough for pets, but Annika convinced Daddy otherwise (by using her puppy dog eyes and asking "PLEEEEASE Daddy can I get a pet???"). So we headed off to Petco Thursday morning before work. Annika went and looked at all the animals. First she wanted to get a hamster, mama wanted her to get a hamster, but the reasonable side of mama's head (aka: DADDY) convinced Annika that a fish would be a better choice for us at this time.

Annika looked at the tetra's, the goldfish, the guppies, then the nice sales lady showed us Nemo and the salt water tank that accompanied Nemo at the cheap price of $399.99. At that point we briskly walked the other way. Then Mama showed Annika the Beta's. Annika saw the pretty purple fishy and was sold. Mama and Daddy were more than happy to comply when the price for everything came out to under$20.

When we got to the car we asked Annika what she wanted to name the fishy. Being that it's a BOY fish Annika decided that Boots would be an appropriate name. Then it changed to Dora. Then it changed back to Boots. Then Dora. I told Annika that the fishy was a boy and Dora was a girl's name. She thought about it for a while and said, "No Mama. The fishy is a girl and her name is Rarity."

Ok..... What?? Where did that come from?? I'm scanning my memory trying to remember where she heard Rarity as a name......

Then I remembered it was a My Little Pony character she watched a long, long time ago!

But it works, because Rarity will be staying at Taekwondo for a while until we are sure She/He can survive with 4 cats. And how many Beta's do you know are both a boy and a girl and live at a Taekwondo school? It's a rare thing :-)

I still want a Hamster.
