Parenting is hard.
I feel like a crap parent because of how my daughter is acting.
Also, a bit of a rant on other parents and society as a whole.

Halloween is rapidly approaching.
It happens on Monday.
NaNoWriMo starts on Tuesday Surprised smile

Life is going to get interesting in this family. Scouts, NaNo, sprinting hosting (for me), Girl Scout cookie sales. Fun, oh fun! Wish us LOTS of luck! We’re going to SO need it!!

Josh ordered a Bill Cosby dvd (Bill Cosby, Himself). We’re watching it now. Holy crap, Brain Damage is TOTALLY true! Kids have brain damage!

While we’re doing the Christmas shopping, I’m honestly glad I’m not having to hunt down miscellaneous extras, like a xbox 360 hdmi cable. Why? Because while I like the new Kinect, I refuse to spend that much on a system Smile with tongue out Unless it’s something that has what I really want to play. So, I’m with the Wii system Winking smile.

Speaking of the Wii, my mom told me one of the presents she got the kids:

Weird looking right? I honestly want to try it though! It’s got Mmm Bop! Anyone else remember that song?

The future, jobs, life, all that, are uncertain. Heck, my parents just canceled their whole life insurance to get some term insurance. They’re saving like $2-3K a year or something like that (I don’t know exactly how much). They’ll still receive a similar amount in death benefits or whatever, but it’ll be a lot less. I think Dad said one is worth $150K and the other is $200K. Nowhere near what Josh is (5x his annual salary or $480K, depending on how he dies, I think it was), but it’s something one of them (or my sister and I, if they both go at the same time) can use to help with funeral costs, plus any similar expenses.

Are you prepared for your future? Josh and I are going to be looking into life insurance for me through State Farm in the coming months.
