Getting It All Ready
Welcome to The Ramblings of Jenn Shuey! If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
Wow I have got so much to do today, but I had to take a small break. I’ve been constantly cleaning, organizing, and preparing all day. What am I preparing for? The Super Bowl of course!
I’m not exactly sure how many people are coming over, but I do know we’ll have a few guests. I think my mom is going to keep Elliana, so we can all have a kid free game. I promised to make some of my “gut bomb” taco dip and some spinach dip. A few friends are bringing food, too, so food wise I think the only thing I have left to worry about is where I’m going to setup the dip station.
I do have a bit more laundry to do, so I don’t have to worry about having piles of baby clothes in the kitchen floor when the guests get here, and then I think I need to run around the house one more time to make sure nothing else needs to be taken care of. Oh…wait I have to change the litter box! I better go do that before I forget and end up with a stinky bathroom tomorrow.

Elliana In All Her Cuteness
I have a photo I was going to share on Wordless Wednesday if I had time to participate this week, but with the way things are going around here I decided to go ahead and share it. My mother-in-law took this photo last week when she was here playing with Elliana, and I thought it was too cute not to share.
She was studying my mother-in-law’s Canon camera like crazy. I guess she was thinking “Hey Mommy that thing makes noises and flashes like the one you have, but it’s bigger!” Then again I’m quite envious of my MIL’s camera every time I see it. I’ll have to get a copy of the full size image from her, so I can print this one out. I just ganked the one she uploaded to Facebook to share with you, so the image quality isn’t that great.
Anywho, there ya have it. Elliana was showing off her cuteness. Man I can’t believe she’s already 3 1/2 months old!
What A Day
Today has been one of those days around here. We were up all night with a teething baby, she’s still fussy today, Hubby’s in an ill mood, and all that combined puts me in an even worse mood. Elliana is finally taking a nap without waking up to fuss every few minutes, so I decided to sit down and take a few minutes to myself.
I could be cleaning the kitchen or folding clothes, but I decided I’m not doing any housework today. I’m going to enjoy what little time I have by doing something online or maybe playing a game. I started out by cleaning out my inbox and responding to a couple emails, but a lot of them can wait until tomorrow. I’m not answering any work related emails until the work week actually begins tomorrow.
I deleted a couple advertisements about Oklahoma criminal defense, then I sent a good 50 emails to the junk folder. My junk filter doesn’t seem to be doing it’s job these days, so I need to check into that. It can wait until later this week though.
He’s Finally Doing It
Hubby and I have been discussing our future, and one thing’s for sure. He needs to go get his builder’s license. We’ve been discussing this off and on for awhile, but he’s finally agreeing with me.
He’s been discussing going into business with a co-worker because they realize they have everything they need except the builder’s license. They’ve got the experience, and they already do work for 2 large residential companies that have agreed to let them bid on jobs. Now they just need to get the ball rolling. I need to talk to him about maybe contacting a few business plan consultants about their business plan to make sure they have everything in order.
I would seriously love it if he went into business for himself. Like I said it’s something that we’ve been discussing for years, and he’s finally ready to do it. Because he is already contracted through a licensed builder we wouldn’t have any start up costs other than getting his builder’s license. We already pay for all the other expenses that would be associated, and even if he didn’t decide to go out on his own right now it would still be a good idea for him to be licensed.
