Working with a Baby

Ok so here is a picture of my little one on our first day of work. She actually was content for a little while just laying on the floor.

Well I've worked 5 days now with Kathryn. Its been pretty easy for the most part. I have my own little room to do all the filing, keep up the books, and just all the little things that my dad has for me to do. If I need to feed her I just close the door. If she gets noisy I just close the door. Its as easy as that. Except that the room jumps like 10 degrees when the door is shut. I need to invest in a fan... I thought it might be harder going to work with her but its really not and my dad seems to be enjoying that she's there. All his clients that come in get to be introduced by my dad as the very proud grandparent. I think my mom is a little jealous that my dad gets to see her more often then she does.

Oh one of my jobs is to get my dads accounting in order. If any one has any good systems for keeping track of recievables and payables starting from scratch I would be ever so grateful. My dad is an Architect so he has billable hours and pay schedules and reimburables and all sorts of stuff like that. As well as paying all his contractors as well.

It is nice to get out of the house once in a while. 3 days a week for 4 hours isn't that bad. just a little extra funds to keep paying off the bills.

One thing that I have found difficult is when I'm feeding her I like to keep working so I hold her with one had and try to keep typing with the other. This makes a really weird strain on my back and neck and gives me a monster headache. I tried using my sling yesterday but she hasnt gotten used to it yet all the time. The next post will have a picture of her in it. She definatly liked that time! Anyway I'm working on new ways to keep working and feed her at the same time. I'll figure something out.
