They Have Energy, I Have a Cold.

     So my life since Wednesday has been filled with resting, working around the house when I feel a little better, working, and resting. ie, lots of Grey's Anatomy. Nyquil and Dayquil are my best friends, along with Halls citrus cough drops. Today I feel much better than I have, except for one thing. My throat is terribly dry feeling but it's not dry. My kids have all the energy in the world, which makes me even more tired. Courtney just came over to me with $1 in dimes and told me that "Grandma said we can buy the kitten from her for only ONE dollar. I have one dollar here. I can buy the kitten." :/ or not. I just told her to put the money away and go lay down and watch a movie. It's too late for an afternoon nap, but they are exhausted. I just finished a family photo shoot, in which time my cough drops lost all effectiveness. :( That's all I feel like saying. I'm going to curl up in a ball on the couch with more Grey's Anatomy and a blanket. Nothing like Doctor drama to veg out to.

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 ...

Oh the Randomness of this Blog

I feel that life has taken some huge turns as of late. Some great, some. . . not so much. Some I can tell about, some. . . I'd just rather not. Some are yet to be decided.      First of all, I love my small group. I can't believe how great a fit we are! The personalities, the kids. We're so weird!! Last night I shared a recent issue I have to deal with. Most people would say "Is there anything we can do?" or "Can we help?". Passive offers. While there is nothing wrong with that, for someone like me, it is much more effective the way it was worded last night, "What do you need from us? What can we do? What do you need us to do?" Not asking if, but what. I put my independent "I can do this" self on a shelf, because really, I just keep getting so overwhelmed that I can't do it. I told them what I needed, they rallied behind me, made a plan, and encouraged me. This group is so tight knit, so there for each other. God really placed m...
