It's been a while since I've blogged anything; I've been buried with work and other aspects of life lately. Things aren't letting up much, but I'm stealing a few minutes on the train away from work to check in.
The kids are great, and growing like crazy, but they can be a handful at times. Every big grin with a "hi Daddy!" makes it very worth it. I'm proud of Stef every day for the work she does with them at home. No matter how busy, stressful, or long my day is (and it is often all 3), I know hers is right up there. She wasn't feeling well yesterday so I worked from home and gained a new appreciation for what she does every day.
I'm continuing to get more freelance work to do than I can handle, which is a great problem in the long run, as that's something I'd love to continue to have grow. In the short run, I'm trying everything I can to stretch my time to get done everything that has to be done without shorting anyone. I'm getting much better with time management and spending a lot less time just goofing off fiddling with things.
And I'm loving my Powerbook. I can't wait of course to get my hands on one of the new Macbook Pro's someday, but till then, this is an awesome work machine for me. One thing though, 3rd party apps need to do some work polishing their UI elements to match the rest of the glossy desktop. Having the dumb Cisco client in my dock is just destroying it's aesthetic appeal :D
We had a nice dinner on Tuesday night at the McFarland's house to celebrate Keith's birthday. The food was great (thanks Merari!), and of course we played some Wii after dinner. I went undefeated in 5 Wii Boxing rounds against the computer, but came away with VERY sore shoulders. Apparently, I'm out of practice punching people. Go figure :)
I'm working to balance work and family, but for now I'm all dived in on every front and looking for some air. I do feel like I'm making good progress on some of my projects, which makes me feel much better than when everything is falling apart :D
