Neglect

It's not that I've been wanting to neglect you, internet. I've been missing the blogging, really - I have. It's just that I've been busy. I'll spare you all the details (cleaning, planning, organizing) and just share the interesting stuff:

I did a little photo shoot for the Spotlight Theatre last Friday. Here's a peak at how they turned out:

My creation


They will be using these photos for their publicity posters and programs - so that is exciting for me. Looks like I will actually be paid and listed in the programs as the theatre's photographer. That thrills me beyond words. The pay is way down on my list as far as importance goes, but it's nice to be involved and to be appreciated. I'll be at the theatre tomorrow night taking pictures of "The History of Rock and Roll". Also cool is that there is a very strong possibility that one or more of my photos (from when I photographed "The Thing About Men") will be published in the newspaper this week. I'll post a link as soon as I see it.

Other than that, we're just trying to stay cool and entertain ourselves. Tomorrow is the day I've sort of been dreading for a few weeks. Daniel will be giving me FSH shots (in my stomach!)for the next three days in a row. It's kind of a big deal since I've only just recently gotten over the hyperventilating, crying and near fainting at the sight of a needle. I've gotten used to a certain phlebotomist sticking me and taking tubes of blood, but SHE'S a professional. I'm not going to lie, I'm a little nervous scared beyond what is reasonable for an adult who wants to have a baby. I know I'm going to be dealing with a lot worse than a pesky little needle as we go forward, it's just that Daniel has never done this before and I know he's a little nervous too. It is kind of cool though...we're one step closer to a baby with these injections. Sunday we're driving back to our specialists office for an ultra sound to see how everything is going. Who knows? I could be pregnant in the next month or so....or it could take a few more of these treatments, either way we're having fun!

Let Them Be

One of my children pushes themselves very hard. Sometimes to the point where we have to remind them how awesome they are doing and that it’s ok to relax. They stay up late doing homework and studying. They put extra effort in on projects. If you set a challenge in front of them, it will make them anxious because they want to be the best, but they will jump at the chance to participate anyway. They will get frustrated when things don’t come as easy for them. They are hard working and smart. They are emotional and sensitive. This child wants to belong. They thrive in groups and always stand out as being friendly and kind. Adults love this kids engagement and optimism.  This child actively seeks validation and recognition. They enjoy being a part of team. They love opportunities to be in the spotlight - whether it’s on stage or drawing attention to themselves by dressing up for theme days. This child came home yesterday with marker on their nose because they didn’t have time t...

Adventures in Crockpot Cooking

Crockpot Cookin' is all fun and games until you realize that a crucial ingredient is just over 2 months passed it's "Best if used by" date and the clock is ticking for it to cook for 6 hrs so you can serve dinner by 6. So then you grab your *almost 4* year old and toss him in the van and you race to the grocery (while you've got your husband on blue tooth talking you down from the crazy "I am not cut out to do things like this!" ledge. You wrap that up and he's very encouraging and you race through the grocery with your little boy (who has very short legs in times like this and does not run fast enough) and you grab the broth and make a mad dash to the register, but your son almost knocks down a five foot display of fruit cakes that was in the middle of the flipping aisle (for goodness sakes!) like the HULK, but he stops just short of disaster and very calmly says " It's alright, Mama. We're cool. " and he gently takes one finger an...

Tuesday: Girl's Day

Image
Last Tuesday was Finnegan's first full day away from the house and me. Daniel and I carefully got him ready and loaded him up in his car seat. I loaded a bag with 20 diapers, 4 burp cloths, 3 changes of clothes and five bottles of my milk for his nine hour stay at Cheryl's*. And as we were securing him in his seat, I might have cried... just a little bit. And then I went back to sleep for a while because Zoe is still my little sleepyhead who will sleep til 10am if I let her. I took a shower and got ready - meaning, I actually put some lipstick on. I got her up at nine. We had breakfast together and watched some PBS Kids. And then we got ready for the park because we were lucky enough to have a lovely, sunny day instead of this grey weather we've had since yesterday. Zoe squealed with delight when I pulled into the parking lot of the park. The park is only two blocks from our house and I feel a little guilty for not just pushing her stroller, but I had big plans for our girl...
