Endless Miles

Well, Mia's asleep which is good because she hasn't slept much today. We tried rice cereal again today and she wasn't having it. Maybe swallowed the tiniest bit, but that's it, really. I love off days. I can't stress that enough. Even when Mia was real little and cried 90 percent of my wednesday off, I still would rather be here then anywhere. Work drains me every day. It still leaves me in disbelief that I'm at Kwik Trip still after 14 years of employment. Some days I wish I had taken more risks with other jobs in my field (the few that there were) but I just never felt good about certain job postings I saw. The few graphic design jobs I did take ended up being pretty awful in the end. So now, I'm left to doing art of all kinds freelance. It's just what's possible for me. Currently, I've got some album art, a logo for an Etsy store and a 1/4 sleeve tattoo on my plate so in any spare time I'm not feeding/changing/playing/rocking Mia, I will work on that pile.

The Rice Cereal Experimentation

So This blog originally was my canvas to talk about my art and music. Well, since I haven't been able to do much art in the last 5 months since my daughter Mia was born, I'd like to open up the blog to include all the adventures regarding parenthood and the pursuit of happiness.

Saturday, we tried rice cereal with Mia. We knew we were in for a messy experience but hey, that's okay right? I mean, she craps and drools everywhere so what's a little rice cereal all over herself? First attempt went pretty well for the most part. It appeared that she ate some of the mushy stuff, even though most of it wound up on her face and hair. This morning, we tried it again and she didn't care for it. She was rather cranky and wanted nothing to do with eating the smelly stuff. We'll try it again maybe tomorrow when she's in a better mood.
