The Update Post

I guess if I'm back I should do an update post right?

Well, if you remember, when I left I had just given birth to a baby girl.

Yeah, well, that happened again...I now have four kids. All girls.

Worry not, dear readers, hubby got himself taken care of. The sperm have left the building. I no longer have to worry about getting knocked up. (Can I get a hooo-raaaaaah)

So yeah, to remind ya, I have Sugar, who's 5, Spice, who's 4, Everything Nice, who's 18 months, and Baby Luna, who is 2 months. I'm busy.

Before I stopped blogging my Hubs got a great job and was making enough that we were living comfortably. Since then he has gotten promoted, gotten a raise, and we were doing so well financially that we were able to buy a car to fit our big-ass family and we were tentatively shopping for a house. Then, he found out his company is shutting down in December. Bummer.

He is in the union so he is confident he will be able to find work again right away, but he was warned that the other companies pay on average $4/hr less. So we will once again be struggling to make ends meet...plus we have a car payment AND a new baby. Shit.

I am still working in the legal office and loving it although my available hours to work are limited because of the kids.

I always found myself saying things like "this would be a great thing to blog about" or "I wonder if people still go on plurk". Those things started popping into my head more and more so I figured it was time to make an appearance here in bloggyville. I can't wait to build my readership up again and go full force.

So...what did I miss?

It was great to see you out again! Congrats on all your little ladies.

Hope your Hubs and his job situation is settled soon and you all find that dream house your looking for.

I was so happy to see you paid a visit to my blog which I have been neglecting the past few months.

Congratulations!!! Four girls. Awesome. I have missed you!!!

Well hello stranger!!! So glad that you stopped by - I haven't been around myself a whole lot the last year because of major ch-ch-anges as well. Lots to blog about, so little time.

Look forward to catching up with you, and good luck to hubs on the job situation.

Four girls? Whew - that's gonna be a lot of shoes ;)!

Holla! Awesome that you're back. I wanna know how you're not losing your mind with four kids. Other than that, I think the only thing you missed was trolling. Lots and lots of trolling. The interwebs has become kinda nasty. Lets be a beacon of light!

Hey you!! It's me, K...originally from "Lyrics of My Life?" I'm so glad to see you're blogging again. I am, too, when I can. I'm finding it's really hard to find the time to visit other blogs, comment, and write...all of which I need to do to build up my readership again. Anyway, come visit me at my new home, and I look forward to hearing what else is up with you. :)
