Two darling angel girls (yeah right), 4 and almost 2. When they're good they're angels, bad they're a nightmare.
I'm 32, but I feel 42, crossed legged on the floor? Yeah I remember when that was a breeze, not now, I'm on the floor a lot with them, not crossed legged though, getting up is a trick (on hardwood floor), I'm like an upside down turtle.
Eldest goes in for a cuddle then jumps on me with all her weight, think my back is telling me I'm not as young as I was anymore.
Always been a gamer, but since having kids, games consoles have collected some dust a bit, can't reach them for the most part due to the sea of toys everywhere. I did however get The Last of Us recently but I'm slowly playing it at night when they've finally gone to sleep.... only get to play Sonic during the day, and even then JUST the levels the kids want to watch.
Looking forward to Disney Infinity, hoping to get all of us involved, well youngest will probably just watch and look at the figures.
Mrs likely wont be impressed when it all turns up, my only hope to avoiding a family jewel damage is to intercept and hide it all and slowly bring it out, however thanks to the deals I've found, and then others from the retail thread, I'm justifying I'm getting more items for same cost of half of that at the high street.
Still probably going to get a telling off mind.
I have been doing more overtime and claiming for the times I leave work late if I was working on something, should help soften the bill.
Bills and money is always a worry, I work in IT at a big Travel Company, after being redundant in similar role for a ceding machine company, ingrates didn't realise what talent they lost, too many oldies threw a wobbler they could no longer put pictures of their kids as desktop wallpaper, never mind I built the most efficient, secure, max uptime winter system, 99% of calls were about their DOS finance program.
Still, happy were I am now, every day fixing something or other, quickly became an important member of the team, if no one else can fix it or they need it fixed fast, it comes to me. Hoping for a raise soon.
Also keep playing the lottery... a few million isn't happiness alone, but it sure removes some headaches, a big house, mortgage paid, lots of savings, money for School, College, Uni, Weddings (if I don't scare off all the boys).
I also help out family friends with computer issues for some extra cash.
