My Vacation

Yesterday when I got home from Sioux City I called a friend and we went to Hobby Lobby and met another friend for supper. After supper we went to Target and WalMart. I didn't get home until midnight last night. I had forgotten what it was like to just goof off with girlfriends.
The poor little dog had only spent about 3 hours out of the kennel yesterday afternoon.
Then this morning I was only able to sleep in till 8:30.
Literally. I could only sleep till 8:30. How disappointing. I didn't have to leave until noon today and that was all the later I could sleep.
Pathetic.
Just PATHETIC!!
Today I had a MOPS meeting at our new church with the pastor. The meeting took a lot longer than I thought it would and pushed me off schedule the rest of the day.
After the meeting I had a mini newborn shoot. (just the poses she wanted)
It went well and the baby slept the whole time. We sweated. Oh, my, was it ever hot and humid today. We took the photos on her screened in sun porch for the natural light. Baby was happy but we were miserable. I am fairly sure Baby didn't care though.
After that I finally got to come home. To my nice quiet house. I can finally get some work done without someone screeching at the gate or asking me what is for supper. I'm taking advantage of this.
It is amazing how much work I can get done without those two distractions.
Tomorrow I have to meet with a gal that was on the MOPS steer team and get some stuff from her. Then I've got to work at 4.
I figure Austin and Mason will be home by the time I get home from work. Even though he has told me he won't be home until Friday afternoon I know how he works. I'm not stupid.
So now I'm off to learn how to burn CDs on the Flash (my new computer). I decided to name it such because it was bought with my flash money.
Guilt trip for Austin. We'll see how long till I get my flash now.

No Excuses!

I have no good excuses for my lack of blogging. Well you know other than the hormonal bitchiness that has become my life lately.

The Metformin seems to be doing its job. Thankfully! Now if I could only remember to take it at the same time everyday... I've now got it in my phone on a daily reminder, annoying but it works.

Last week I bought Photoshop Elements 7 and have been playing around with it a little bit. I don't generally have time to get on the computer very much anymore with the weather starting to get nice. So needless to say I haven't been getting much sleep.

It rained all weekend so we are inside today. Thank God for tv and IPTV. My little boy is trying to drive me nuts. Literally.

Mason thinks it is great fun to throw tantrums at my feet. He doesn't even have to be in trouble or told no for this to happen. Nope it could be something stupid innocent like his car falling off the table, or my favorite, Hyde sniffing his little monkey. I know some of you are thinking so just walk out of the room. I do and guess what the little boy just picks himself up giggles and follows me to the other room and proceeds to continue throwing his tantrum at my feet.

I seriously doubt there is any of me in him. He is just a little replica of his father. It is on days like today that I have to check my sanity.

I don't think Austin will be letting me go to Best Buy alone anymore. I went in to buy Photoshop and came out with photoshop and a new tv for the kitchen. I have been thinking about a new tv for awhile and my tv fund finally got bit enough. It is a miracle it did because I kept taking out of it for my photography purchases.

I decided the tv in the kitchen didn't have to be anything special. Basically able to change volume and channel was enough so I got in on a pretty good sale. I had to do something because my old tv would no longer turn off and was starting to smell if it was on for more than 20 minutes.

With the left over tv money and what I had in my photography account I had more than enough to buy my new lens that should be here on Friday. FRIDAY!! I should have enough to get my flash by the end of May.

Austin was a little worried about my timeline. Ha! I might have neglected to tell him that he was getting paid 3 times in May. If he gets paid 3 times in May then so do I. Amazing how that works out. I get 75 in fun money out of his pay check and then all of my checks in May go to fun money. If he was that concerned about it he would just take over the budget. I don't see that happening so he will just have to get over it.

I have to work tonight. Our assistant Manager quit last night. Our manager is a nut job and she got fed up and just quit. He had better not have changed my schedule. I am not even digging him out of this mess. Someone else can have the hours.
