Cluster-blogging. Our boogie is actually sleeping right now. She doesn't normally sleep this long during the day. Especially since last night she slept from midnight till 8:30 this morning. Such a sweetheart--she's up when we are up and down when we are down. Only now she might be throwing us a curve ball with all this daytime sleeping. I just hope her sleep schedule doesn't flip.
Soo... I've been thinking about what I'm going to do once my mat leave is up. I have a job kind of waiting for me. But I haven't figured anything out about day care, and I'm already way behind on that because there are waiting lists everywhere from what I've heard, and the lists can be a year long, or more.
Tomek would really like it if we went into business together, for ourselves, so I've been toying with some ideas. Sometimes I think it would be nice to go to school for something specific and have that one skill down really well. I was thinking of something along the lines of this, but I also think Tomek should be the one to go back to school first, since he's in a crap job (well-paying, and he is one of the top techs in the company he works for, but he has to work on construction sites 90% of the time, which he hates) and he has such a talent for languages.
I saw an infomercial this morning on tv about trading on the foreign exchange market and, while I know nothing about trading, this has piqued my interest. It would definitely be something Tomek and I could do together, and from anywhere. But do either of us have the head for this kind of thing? I don't think I do... but maybe I can learn. It would be ideal, because then I could stay at home with LB and we'd save a lot of money not having to pay for childcare.
One of Tomek's friends is always coming up with new business ideas, but none of them seem to have come to fruition in the couple of year we've known him. Mind you, when he was 20 he was buying cars from Japan and selling them here, then he was working on some clay excavation project, and now he's in on some kind of trailer park creation near the oil sands in Alberta. He wants Tomek to help install gizmos in these supposed trailer homes... we'll see if anything ever happens with that.
We really need some new furniture, and we need closet organizers. We just can't seem to figure out what furniture we need, based on what we have, because most things are still in boxes. But we don't want to unpack the crap till we have somewhere to put it otherwise our new place is going to look like 10 tornadoes hit it, instead of just 3.
