Little less Stress Please...

Had lots of Stress earlier this month; I wasn't able to pass my exam that I needed to keep my job, my house deal ran into more snags, and christmas was fast approaching. Topping it off, because I wasn't having luck with my exam, I decided to study more and go see Ariel and Linzy less. This also added stress since Linzy was being a weenie all week teething (incisors).

So I unloaded stress by passing my exam yesterday (yay) so I get to keep my job(double yay) and I don't have to worry about studying all the time (triple yay) and get to go back to seeing Ariel and Linzy more (quadrople yay).

As for the house, the mold guys are trying to double the price of the work to be done, but my realestate agent has a signed contract from them for the first price they quoted me. So I'm letting my agent deal with them. We are trying to get another extension on the deal as well, since the mold guys are taking so long.

Ah Christmas time, a time of joy a time of stress...stress from trying to get presents delivered in time, stress from preparations, and stress from trying to find the right gifts. I think next year I will start shopping Nov. 1st....

Other news, Ariel got one of her friends who is a photography major to do our christmas pictures, due to bad timing with my schedule and Linzy getting feverish from teething, we didn't get as many as we would like, so we will be rescheduling for Jan. So, hopefully I will have some pics to send out a little later.

Linzy of course is in full blown terrible twos mode. She has a fit about anything and with her teething, she has been extra grumpy. Getting her down to naps is fast becoming impossible and just forgoing naps is worse. A cranky teething Linzy in her terrible twos is worse than just a Teething Linzy in her terrible twos. On the plus side she is still learning fast and I can distract her from her tantrums with just a few select words. "Ooo, Linzy look at this". I can point to a dust bunny and all the sudden its the most interesting thing in the room. Changing the subject always works to end her tantrum. Problem arises when she wants to play with the dust bunny...

See you soon.
