Taking A Minute To Blog

Busy can not even come close to how our life has been lately. Sometimes I think I should just forgo sleeping just to get things done. It seems lately we always have somewhere to go or something to do. Our days, nights and weekends have suddenly become over flowing with commitments. However with that said I don't think we would trade it for the world except to maybe have just one day to do nothing. So here is just a little update on us!

Cheyenne has still been sick, she went to school 2 days in 2 weeks. After the bronchitis she got gastritis in her stomach which caused her stomach to hurt and she couldnt eat or barely drink. We went to the doctor 4 times in the 2 weeks. She went to school today but she says her stomach still hurts. Hopefully she will be completely over it soon.

Brant came down with strep throat last Wednesday, so Thursday I took them both to the doctor. She has made a killing off my kids in the last 2 weeks! I had to enlist some help from my mom and sister Mandi to help watch them so I wouldn't have to take off all those days at work since I have only been there 3 weeks.

Work is getting easier to understand and the days go by quickly. I still have a to-do list at home a mile long but I have managed to keep the laundry done and cook dinner, maybe nothing else is getting done but when I get the kids well, all this mountain of back homework done, my taxes and getting the kids projects ready for the Southeaster Youth Fair. I will have time to clean this house!

Larry's job is still touchy and he is nearing a decision on his little adventure he wants to take. It will affect us all but I feel a little better that it will be for the best for us. I have decided to stand behind him because he stands behind any adventure I want to take on!

Speaking of adventure...My photography seems to be coming along great! I'm so excited and happy that everyone I have done pictures for love them and have referred me to their friends and family! I got a new camera 2 weeks ago...Its a Sony A350 DSLR, it takes great pics. I'm still learning the settings and doing lots of practicing but the ones Ive taken so far have been great! I have a wedding to do in April and maybe another one after that! If you know of anyone wanting photos taken please send them my way or direct them to my photography blog to check out my work. I will try to update with my latest pics soon!

One more thing, if anyone is interested in antiques! We will be having a Yard Sale at my Step grandfathers house on February 28th. There is so much stuff there and some of it is really old! So if your into antiques or just yard sales come look around, we have found lots of treasures in the attic including furniture, mirrors, old books, pictures, lighters, lamps, radios...we pretty much have anything you could want! Email me if you want directions.

Well I gotta run to tackle another to-do before I get the kids off the bus!

My 50th Post!

This is my 50th post since I have been blogging! I would like to blog more but it seems life has become pretty busy! So there really is no theme for this one just a little update and since I havent been able to participate in Not Me! Mondays I do have a few things to confess!

First, work is going ok, there is alot to learn and ALOT of handwritting! I have not hand writtin anything other than a check or note to school since they came out with the computer! So I have writers cramp, but thats ok!

I have had to miss the last 2 days, Chey has been sick. I took her to urgent care Sunday and they thought she had a ear infection and congestion. However, by Monday night she was feeling much worse and coughing horribly. So Tuesday I took her to the pediatrician. She ended up having either bronchitis or walking pnemonia. So now she is on the z-pack and cough medicine, she seems to be feeling better today and hopefully can go back to school tomorrow.

I have also been busy taking pictures. I have had a shoot the last 3 weekends in a row! I have a few more scheduled and hopefully will be booking more soon!

Everything else is a little crazy and there is a HUGE change coming for my family in the next few months. I cant say at this time other than it involves my husbands job. They have been having more layoffs at his company and he works in fear everyday that it could be his last. He has things in the works for something in which Im not happy about but know I have to stand behind him. Just please pray for us that he wont be laid off and also that if what he wants to do is God's will then it will all fall into place!

So for the things that I have not done the past few weeks!

*Started running the washer, added detergent...forgot the clothes! TWICE TODAY!
*Ate the remaining brownies from our baseball meeting dinner before anyone else could.
*Spend 8 hours on the computer editing pictures over the weekend.
*Splurge on another prop even though I promised I would wait a little bit to buy more.
*Get addicted to Facebook along with Myspace and blogging! So that is where all my time went.
*Put off working on my taxes to do other things...I will be working on that next I promise ;)!

Hope you all have a great week!
PS Check out the pics I took over the weekend on my photography blog!
