I have two questions for you:
1. Do you need some extra money?
2. Would you like to be in better shape?
If you answered yes to either one of those questions, you NEED to watch this video and email me!
Despite being pregnant and moving and taking care of three kids and getting a new puppy (pictures coming soon!), last month I still made enough to pay a car payment plus a student loan payment (yes, after almost 10 years of marriage, we still have one student loan left).
But, baby #4 (Seth!) is coming in just a few months (I’m entering the third trimester! Yay! And Oh, Crap, I’m going to have four kids soon!) so I have time to help you build your business and start getting in shape NOW. The first two people to email me will have priority training over the next few months!
Seven appears to be the age when Chloe has realized that she knows it all. Even when she is completely wrong, she will argue passionately that she is absolutely right.
But sometimes it turns out that shereally gets it right.
Like the other night we were out to eat and my husband and son were goofing off a little more than is necessary for being in a sit-down restaurant.
Chloe turned to me and asked, “Will our baby brother Seth grow up to act just like Daddy and Luke?”
Thinking of the difficulty that even big boys sometimes have with sitting still, I told her that yes, he would probably be just like them.
Chloe’s conclusion: “So all boys must have bad manners.”
If you’re me: Look online at every house within your price range. Write down all the possibilities and then pick your top five favorites. Which just happen to be the prettiest ones and the ones in the nicest neighborhoods with the biggest kitchens.
If you’re my husband: Look at the list of all possibilities that your wife made. Enter them into Excel with information about the square footage, price, distance from work, how nice the neighborhood is, and how old the house is. Then weight each item according to how important it is and have Excel sort the list according a bunch of rules that take a really long time to create.
Notice that most of the top choices just happen to match your wife’s favorites which she intuitively picked by the pretty pictures.
Telling people I’m pregnant with my fourth child has been an interesting experience.
There were some people who assumed I’d be done after two children. After all, I had one boy and one girl, so there was no reason to have any more, right?
But when I said we wanted a third, people weren’t too surprised. Apparently three children is still within the realm of a normal-sized family to them.
But lately I’ve had strangers ask me, “Is that your first or second?”
And when I answer fourth, I get disbelieving shock followed by, “Oh. Well, I guess if that’s how many you want…” or “Wow. I guess if you like big families…” both uttered in a doubtful tone that tells me what they’re really thinking is something more along the lines of, “Woman, what the heck are you thinking having that many kids?”
Is there really that big of a divide between having three and four kids? Does three seem normal but four seem like a big scary family to you?
That we’re having another baby!
Number four will arrive in late October, or early November if it is as late as Chloe and Luke were.
Which would give me four children with birthdays all in November.
I think I need to start saving money now!
