Cuteness Heaven

As in, thought I'd died and gone to.

So the kids have all decided to do Tae Kwon Do, and the local place has all their little classmates so we went there too and they offered us 3 free trial lessons.  They've all had their first free lesson this week.

Eldest Son is in a program for kids 8 & up (Karate for Kids), while Precious Princess and Littlest Brother are in Tiny Tigers (for ages 4 - 6). 

You see these little guys in there, holding up their little fists and piping out "ai-YAH!", fierce little scowls on their adorable muppet faces, and it's just about the cutest thing you ever saw! 

And they're all hooked. And I think it's gonna be a good thing.  (I was a little worried about it, for various reasons, but, I think it's gonna be a good thing.)

Actually, it looks like so much fun, I want to sign up myself!

So, I'm gradually getting clients.  I'm on my sixth one now, and one client gave me repeat business already.  Good feedback on the jobs board.  Still, it's not reliable enough to be able to hire a regular nanny, even part time.  (Because, dear Punkinshell, I only get to hire the babysitter when the hourly rate I'm getting can justify it!)

Most of what I'm writing for pay has to do with business, marketing in particular.  And, in doing the research for these pieces, I'm actually getting a lot of ideas for what I need to do to get my own little business off the ground.

I'm also still working on my fiction.  Keep The Dream Alive!!!

I've got to get back to my novel outline.  Outlining Is Your Friend.  At least, it's mine.  Once I've got a good outline, things practically write themselves.  It's the getting to a good outline that's the challenge.     :-)
