Busy.

So I've mentioned that work is crazy, right? A colleague was laid off in March and I was given most of her work, in addition to all mine. It's been 5 months now, and I finally feel like I have a handle on the work load. I still work more than I ever have (remembering the days at IP where I'd really "work" a few hours a week). Now I work the entire time I'm at work, and then frequently at night and on weekends.

On top of that, one of my coworkers and I have started doing some Marketing contract work for a very small company nearby. It's just a few hours a week so far, but they said that it would eventually be 20 hours a week between the two of us. It's a nice balance for us, b/c she has experience that I don't and vice versa. Plus I absolutely LOVE her. She has become a really good friend and is so fun to be around and to work with. We are a great team! Maybe someday we'll just offer our Marketing Consulting services to small businesses. We both love being around a small company again. It's so much less sterile and impersonal that BMC.

Anyway, I'm here on the couch again while Nate jumps around the living room. I need to put him to bed.

Randy has finalized the new baseball team, and has some very promising kids this season. He is excited to coach again. There was a practice last night and 11 out of 12 kids showed up! Much better than the 4-5 kids that would show up over the summer. He said we might just have a real team this season. One of the assnt coaches played professional baseball, so we are happy to have his knowledge.

Well, I smell poopy pants so I'd better go change them and put the poophead to bed.
