Random Rambles from a Typically Crazy Weekend

     So, weekends around here are usually insane. Especially as of late. Friday starts with doing school in the morning. It's a short day for us because I have to work in the late afternoon. I took the girls out to my parents after a hair raising school session with Courtney. All she had to do was write a short story, practice her handwriting, write her full name out a hand full of times and then write our phone number down 8 times for memorization purposes. It ended up being a tear filled 8 times, and anger just glowed from her face because "Why do I need to know your phone number? I'm always with you!". So, anyways, I took them out to my parents, dropped a DVD of edited pictures off to a client, and then went to work. After work, and a quick trip to Walmart for Small Group snack supplies, I went to my co-worker's house for a bonfire. It was fun, we took goofy pictures, talked and ate s'mores. Well, by the time I got home and in bed it was 2am. Then I had to get up for a 5 hour shift on Saturday. THEN after work, I picked up the girls, we went to small group, came home, and were all in bed by 9:30. CRAZY!! I am never in bed that early. I then dreamed there was a raccoon in my apartment wearing clothes and Jenna's saddle shoes. Crazy stuff. *deep breath*
     After enjoying lunch after church with our Associate Pastor and his family at Wendy's, going to spend some time at the Farm Festival, and running to Walmart (again) for milk, we are now home. YAY!!! My trash is smelling the kitchen up from whatever shouldn't have been left in over the weekend, and the girls decided on beef ramen noodles with egg dropped in (like my aunt always made for us) for dinner. I'm getting ready for a several hour editing session while eating leftover homemade stir fry and watching season 3 of Grey's Anatomy. Love that show!!
     Tomorrow is a day we've been looking forward to for a week now. Jenna has a dentist appt in Polaris, so we're going to make a shopping day out of it. We're even going to the Olive Garden for lunch. I'm going to (possibly) invest in my first EVER pair of skinny jeans. Yes, I am that behind. I'm also so short that I'm not sure how great I'll look in them. But, I have decided to conform. I mean, I'm a photographer, so I should be trendy. At least I'm not super frumpy like some "fauxtographers" I have seen. Hahaha!! My photography stuff has taken off this fall, by the way. I have the next 6 Sundays booked, one Saturday, and another wedding! in December. Now to just put in enough editing hours to get them all done and to the clients in a reasonable time. . . while homeschooling, cleaning, cooking, working, "mom"ing, church, life. *sigh* So is my crazy life.

Life Gets a Little Crazy

I feel like sleeping, not blogging, so this will be a bit more rushed than normal. It's been so long since I've posted anything, I just felt that it was about time I caught up (not that anyone really cares. Haha).     Being sick got me behind in everything from laundry and dishes to sleep and school work with the girls. . . and editing photos. Now life has been full of catching up and cleaning up.     I found the cure to Courtney's inability to sleep before I go to bed. Constant music. I found a Disney lullaby cd at the library, and have been playing it all night in their room. Courtney sleeps so much better, which means I sleep much better!      My photography session scheduling went crazy the past 2 months and I have been struggling to keep up with all the editing. The editing takes lots of time. Here's an example: I sat for 3 hours straight just color correcting wedding pictures. You would normally think "WOW!! She probably got a whole lot done!"...

One Liners Christian Singles Don't Want to Hear. . . Again.

So I have been misunderstood, and feel like I should redo this whole thing and put it here. Beware, I will be being myself, and if you don't know me well, may take it terribly wrong. If so, and you think I'm being mean, read it again with a different mindset until you get it right. How will you know? You'll think "Hmmm... that's bitingly sarcastic and funny!" That is unless you don't have a sense of humor. Then you're just out of luck and probably shouldn't read any farther. I have been a single mom for over 8 years. I decided that the general public needs to be reminded what not to tell us singles because, well, they keep saying the same programmed responses. Empty responses that others seem to feel responsible for telling us. Over and over and over and over. . . . Singles Christians everywhere get told the same placating remarks every day. At least once. We may be asked if we're seeing anyone, we may be venting about being tired of being ...

4,015 Days

Ten years. Well, in reality, we're talking more like eleven. Ten years in the sense that ten years ago today my ex-husband walked out on me and the girls. Eleven in that there has been a lot that happened from 2004 until now. It's a long time, but it really isn't. It seems like so long, but it seems like it flew by. A lot has happened in the past eleven years. I feel a bit overwhelmed as I sit here and think back. It has been a long, winding, and rough road. So many ups and way too many downs. I had two kids, a marriage and divorce. I lost two brothers, which took my feet right out from under me. Got engaged, broke off said engagement. Battled depression. Got in shape and fell in love with CrossFit (It's my therapy). Raised two girls through their single digit years. Went through 2 cats, 2 turtles, are on our 3rd and 4th birds. Moved 3 times in less than 2 years, having lived at our current residence for 10 years now. Along with a variety of other things. This...
