doing: messing around on the computer for the morning.
feeling: SO very tired! my sleep needs to catch back up with me SOON!
listening to: Mikes computer game... the guy on there has a little bit of a creepy voice.

the week has been a little crazy. i dont feel like i've slowed down for a few days now! i feel like theres so much to fit into these first few weeks of August that we can't stop or we'll miss it all!

first stop, the Nationals! i love the Nationals, i'm a wierd one. i love all the people, the stands, the races, the randomness that the town gets into! and i LOVE Sunday morning about 10:00 when there isn't even a whisper of anyone even left in town! haha! i told Matt i wish we had a tall house so we could sit up there and just watch all the campers scatter.

we, again, had our awesome campers in the backyard! we love them! they are so fun and so easy to get along with! i've known Justin since high school and i'm so happy every year when him and his family(inculding his super sweet wife) come and stay with us in August! on my list of "reasons to NOT move" they are one of them! i'd be so sad if we moved far away from the track and they couldn't camp with us anymore!

also, as you know, Mike is home. since we can't really "show him around" knoxville-since he's from here-we've just been cooking him food and letting him sleep in late! it's really been fun and so easy to have him here. he is part of the family and he just flows right into our routine. we'll all be sad to see him go, he's leaving wednesday. but its been great to have him here. because he got to be back for the Nationals this year, i'm pretty positive he's consumed more alchohol these last 2 weeks than he has for pry the last year. ........what are friends for?!
on my list of "reasons TO move" having a guest room for Mike so he doesn't have to sleep on the couch is one of the tops!

work has been long. August has been killing us. but we're making it, and people have been happy with their stuff, so that makes us happy! as soon as school starts our schedule will clear up in a snap! that will make us happy becuase we'll be able to get caught up on orders and things and still have time for that stuff we've been having to put off. this time of the year makes us thankful, because if we were slow at this time we'd be in serious trouble!

at home things have been good. Ethan's just starting to come out of his " i don't need food " phase. however, the 24 hour rottenness hasn't subsided yet. he was so awful yesterday i thought i might explode! and of course this morning he's been sweet as sugar-just so he could go to the fair with G&G Russell! rotten.

of all the things we are fitting into our August the State Fair is one of them. we went yesterday simply because it was NICE outside! i figured we'd better take it while we can because the rest of the week might be 100+ temps again. so we went, we ate, we walked around, we did the fair.

i haven't been too excited about things lately. there was a Hanson concert earlier this month, Aerosmith will be in Omaha this weekend - and neither one i really "cared" to see. sure i wanted to go,... but i just didn't care to push the subject too much on Matt. it sort of makes me sad. and the fair was one too. i wanted to go because i always want to go. but i wansn't planning out my food intake like i usually do. and the one thing i really wanted i let go of pretty quick because there was a long line. i got my lemonade and mini donuts though so i came home happy!

well, i think i should do soemthing with my day off. and Matt will be home in an hour for lunch.... so i need to figure that out too.

i'm just so lazy though!! haha!


Matt and Ethan at the Nationals parade on Saturday


Me and Matt


Ethan and I working on floating!

"" i think possibly maybe i'm falling for you""

doing: debating what to start on first at work.
feeling: tired. this whole week i've been almost exhausted throughout the whole day!
listening to: haven't decided that either...

the past week has been fairly uneventful.

Ethan's been doing better about sleeping in his own bed the whole night! which is nice for us, cause we dont have to share our bed! also because, well, he just needs to sleep in his own bed!

he's gotten his potty trainging down to a T (sure we still have occasional accients). but now i'm just waiting and hoping that he'll start sleeping through the night without having any. since you can't really teach that its just a waiting game. of course he HAS to have juice before bed. we've been giving him just a little bit, but he still manages to pee everywhere! we have had a couple nights though that his pull up is still totally DRY! this morning was one of those times! i try to make a huge deal out of it, because it is, and so hopefully he'll get that into his brain.

Ethan's also still growing and learning every day. sometimes he'll say something and i just stare at him and wonder where in the world he learned that! i love it though, he's so smart - sometimes too smart. he's figured out that Matt only listens to me half of the time... so if i tell him no he'll just turn around and ask Matt the same question, and half the time Matt tells him yes. we're working on that - with Matt not with Ethan......

he likes watching IPTV in the mornings, which i love because all those shows are so educational! he loves loves Super Why - which is how he learned his alphabet so well! and he knows like every big machine known to man because of the Mighty Machines videos. thanks Canada for those..

in other news. today is friday - thank goodness! - our June has been slowly filling up and getting more busy. i'm almost all the way caught up on wedding albums (yeay) and as of right now our sessions are almost all caught up. i need to get back in the flow of session - edit - pretouch - print/send ... becuase once seniors start up full swing its all me, and i'm out of practice!
we've booked 3 weddings for June 2011! which is odd to us because we only have 1 wedding this June! but also good that we have dates booked out this far ahead! makes us feel good! now we just need our Seniors to start calling for this year and we'll be set!

well, i suppose i should do some work...
have a happy weekend!

"" i took my time, i hurried up.... ""

doing: working on website stuff!! sshhhh its a secret! :)
feeling: worn out big time.
listening to: Simple Plan radio... but its been playing some random songs

so we basically went from being semi-slow here to being totally 100% overwhelmed with work! i haven't been home before 6:30 for a week (except last night) we have started up ball teams and its been crazy. luckily Jeff has been working on and finishing each set of teams at home, and ordering them the next day. so we've been lucky to not have to put any time aside at the studio working on them... plus they come back super fast! which is nice for us and for the teams!

however great that is, we are exhausted! i have a headache right now but i know its because i'm just that tired. on top of this crazy week, for me, i'm also planning the Senior Breakfast at church. its my first time so i've been trying to get all the snippets of info from years past and sometimes thats just too much! but its all coming together. i really just have to go shopping for food supplies... fit that in somewhere between tonight and tomorrow around my appointments. sigh.

not enough hours.

on the bright side, we survived Tulip Time! it was cold and it was miserable.. but we still managed to have a good time!

another bright side... well, for him, is that Ben is now officially overseas! he went with a group on a "photography trip" to Ireland. he told me it was really just his teachers way of going on another trip! he flew out yesterday and even though his NYC flight was an hour late, i'm guessing and hoping that he made it into Dublin! among all the places he'll go he got some information from my Aunt and Uncle (that have researched our family history) and he's going to check out the town where our ancestors came from! too cool right?! i'm jealous for sure. my college never went to cool places like that!! he'll have a great time and i'm sure he'll come back with some sweet pictures!

well, almost time to head out to ball teams...... again!
happy weekend!!

"" you must be out of your mind, this was a simple design! ""

doing: last minute free time stuff before my lunch break is over
listening to: i'll give you one guess. just a lil Breaking Benjamin! :) i'm obsessed and i dont even care!

i just looked at my last entry and it was from the day before convention! that was early February. i know everyone reads this and is just dying to know what i'm up to next.........

convention was good. we had a good time-actually better than its been for a few times. the speakers were great and i came home with lots of ideas! (most of wich means spending Jeffs money... hes' not big on that...) we were busy-as i said we had a basically endless "to do" list. but we got through it and didnt kill each other. i got enough breaks to be able to go listen to the speakers i wanted to hear! i got to catch up wiht some of my college friends which was just wonderful! you never really know how much you've missed a group of people until you sit down and really talk to them after a long break! i got to meet Kim's little girl! we were buddies! i got to talk to Rose about her upcoming wedding. and to chat with Paul about his newest addition to the family! of coures, after all the family talking we talked photography which was also wonderful!

after the hype of convention has worn off we're back to work. we are still semi-slow here but have plenty to be working on!

as for family life. Ethan's gotten the cabin fever big time. he wants to be outside so bad... and of course playing in the dirt! dirt that is now still mud! i feel bad for him, but it just hasnt been warm enough to be out for a long time. hes been quite the pill the last week. i think the time change has messed him up just enough. he's been whiney, crying, yelling, screaming... you name it.. he's got it. and his toddler mentality makes it extremely difficult to reason with him at all. i admit, i've been fed up for a couple days. i just cant keep arguing with him every second we are toghether. him and daddy have been tight for a few days......

also, this week i've developed a head cold/allergies type thing that has just been awful. i feel like a big fat whiner..... but i'm miserable!!!

ah well, its a little better today and i know it'll pass. soon i hope!

well, have to get back to work. grad cards are coming in like mad so i have to get my creative butt in gear!!

"" the worst is over now, you said it anyhow.. ""

listening to: Breaking Benjaim radio on lastfm.com
feeling: full and decent! a little tired though....

sssooo convention starts tomorrow. tomorrow night, but i have to leave my house at 8am tomorrow. since jeff is in charge of hospitality that means we are in charge of picking up speakers from the airport. hospitable of us, right?! plus we have another trip to the grocery store to do. and the fact that we have to unpack ALL of our crapola and get it into the room. so much to do!

"" i live to die another day,... until i fade away! ""

i freaking love Breaking Benjamin.. in case i havent said it before!

oh, convention. i'm ready for it, but i'm not mentally prepared for it. we'll have late late nights and lots of "to do" stuff to see to. i honestly havent even looked at the speaker schedule! i know there are 2 that i want to go see for sure. but i'm not sure if they conflict with anything i have on my "to do" list!

we do, however, have all our competiton prints ready to go! i just got my kiddies in today for the Lil Miss & Mr competition. i just have to mount those and label them and they'll be ready too!

as for work we are still a little slow, but still have things to tend to. our poor interns have like nothing to do! most of the things we are doing take no time at all, or are albums and retouching-which inturns dont do! so i feel bad for them just sitting and twiddling their thumbs. or doing bitch work! but Jasons getting credit for it so he's good! David is just doing it for fun, and hes not here too many hours.


i had a bit of a crappy 3 days recently. one of those things where you just feel like you've been shit on over and over again throughout the day. so i didnt want to talk/vent about it. just bottle it up and all that jazz. its gotten better and i tried really hard to get a positive attitude about it and turn it around. its helped to do that. and yesterday and today have been good days. its just more things in my life to have to sort out.

ah well


the best part of my afternoon is that i'm making Jeff watch 'This Is SpinalTap' if you havent seen this movie you need to! its a silly mindless ROCKumentary about a British band! its just so random and funny, you'll be quoting it for weeks! our party theme at convention is RockStar! and i want jeff to dress as the lead singer,.. but he's never seen the movie.... so i got it from Netflix and after some downloads and upgrades to his comp it WORKS!

outtie. gotta do some work before we leave this place!

4:00 and alls well!

doing: finishing up the Knoxville Dance Teams Calendar! I have 2 more "months" left to design... and only one picture. we might have a problem.....
feeling: tired!
wanting: FOOD!

today has been long to say the least. we were up super early to go and photograph the kids in PlayShop (local 5 and under preschool). its always fun and the kids are always entertaining, but it was early and neither of us felt like it! but it went very smoothly and we'll be there again tomorrow!

i realized that my last entry was on Ethan's birthday. since that was quite a while ago i thought i should update you on my life.

we've decided to take our house off the market for the winter. we had a glimmer of hope with a trade, but it didnt' end up panning out. so we decided to not renew, take it off until spring and then it'll be all new and fresh! aanndd we'll start all over. Matthew told me today that my "problem" is that i only think in absolutes. either we sell or we dont. either we live here forever or we get out. theres no middle ground. while that is true to some extent i could tell him the same thing. i say, lets build on, he says- we can't. i say - lets check with the bank, he says- we wont get anything. so--darling--if you are reading this, lets try to be more positive with each other.....
i try to think of ways to make our situation better or different and the answer always seems to be 'no' or 'we're poor'. its ebbing at my patience on the matter and thats the exact reason why i become shrill and bitchy when we "talk" about it. (i put talk in quotes because that really means fight and yell.) sure my suggestions may not be the best or thought out toally, but its only a suggestion. not like i went to the bank behind his back and am like "hey! we got 30K to build onto the house!"

thats not what i meant to talk about. mainly it was we're trying with the house selling again in the spring.

as for work. we just got back from our Fall Seminar, it was Nov 1&2! we always look forward to these simply because we aren't in the office! we dont HAVE to work and we can just be dorky and talk about photography ALL DAY LONG!! and everyone we talk to there loves it as much as we do!! we had 2 great speakers this year, Kirk Voclaine and John Hartman.

Kirk is a fabulous senior photographer! he has a smart head on his shoulders and it shows! the funny thing about him is that he is NOT even close to who you'd think of when you see his images!

http://www.kvphoto.com/ <-- Kirks website
http://seethelight.ca/img/speakers/kirkvoclain.jpg <-- Kirk

we got to hear him talk about his studio, his business, his photographing techniques and his photoshop work. it was all interesting and i got some good notes out of it!

John Hartman was our other speaker. he talked mostly about the business part of it. he told us how he shoots and a little about selling. i got some good notes from him too!

http://web.mac.com/jrhartman/Contemporary_Photography/Home.html <-- John's website

all in all-like we always do-we came back inspired!! now, like always, we just need to find an outlet and time to put all this stuff to action!

the other "fun" part of Seminar (i put fun in quotes because i mean not-so-fun) was that Jeff-being on the board-is in charge of hospitality this year. this means that he--WE--have to pick up speakers from the airport, get food and drinks ready for the hospitality room that's open most every night and a bunch of other little things. since Jeff is SUCH a generous boss.. he LETS me help him. lets just say i was up at 2am on Monday morning washing dishes in the hotel bathtub. and that was only one night! at Winter Seminar there are 3 nights. we have to have a meal plan and hope we dont run out (which we did this time) and have plenty of booze because, lets face it, photographers like to drizink!

well, i have an order coming in soon and then i get to go home! i'm SO hungry! and i have a church meeting tonight. it never stops does it! hopefully i'll be home in time for Glee! that will make my night!! I LOVE GOOD TV!!!!

Ex-Sensitive.....

doing: work. i'm actually getting alot done today and yesterday
listening to: lastfm.com radio. Bethany Joy Lenz!
feeling: a little better but still iffy

i've had a long couple weeks. actually a long month. at this time in my life i do feel like everyone should owe me something! that i should get a break and a couple good things should happen to me. i feel like this roller coaster is stuck at the bottom of a huge hill... broken down with no one around to fix it.

of course thats just the midset that i'm in. if everyone would LIKE to send me presents and money and stuff that's cool... i wont say no! but i know thats not going to happen because not everyone does actually physically owe me anything.

the weather has been gloomy, my days have been long, my son and his potty training isn't going well-suddenly anymore-and my husband and i aren't seeing eye to eye on things.

we go through these spells. where suddenly we dont see where the other person is coming from. and we fight about every little thing. its annoying and we're both stubborn enough that an apology isn't something we just do. its passes and we'll be fine, but having it like this now just makes everything suck!!

i've been on the verge of tears all week and thats also annoying. i think my hormones are on an overload....



Matt's Great Grandmother died last week. She was 89 and it was pretty sudden.
so that made our week just that much harder. it was a nice service. Her son did the eulogy and it was just fantastic! something that i know i'll not be able to do. Matt and his Dad were paul bearers. Of course it rained the hardest when we were at the cemetery, just to match all our moods. i think it will take awhile to get over the fact that shes not here anymore. Matts dad was very close to her so he took the whole thing pretty rough.



well the phone keeps ringing and its 4:00. 20 after now actually. time seemed to go extra slowly yesterday and thankfully today that has not been the case!!
have a good soggy night.... damn weather...

"don't 'honey' me!!"

doing: watching 90210 and waiting for my next appointment
feeling: pretty good!

its been a crazy couple weeks, and it doesn't look like it'll be slowing down anytime soon! today is the only exception. today i have 2 orders this afternoon but other than that... NOTHING!! it's a beautiful thing when your schedule has two tiny things on it and nothing else!!

last week.... oohh last week i had a couple kids in for Kids Contest. and then i had 3 days of Baby Ducks!! super cute! super messy! and super stinky,..... sad to say but it's nice to have them gone. the pictures are super cute though! all the kids had a great time! and there was no crying and no eating of ducks....! (that almost happened last year, swear!) to finish off the week we had the Father/Daughter Dance. there were 400 daughters signed up (thats A LOT!) suprisinly things went VERY smoothly! we were done with pictures in record time and even had time to sort through some things and make sure we had everything in order!

this week.... its been slightly crazy but today is a lull day. we've had senior reps in and kiddies in for Kids Contest! its been great! and tiring all at the same time!!


at home. Ethan is wonderful. he's a typical 2.5 year old boy! hes naughty one minute and the sweetest little boy the next! i can't believe how much he remembers!! he's basically able to recite Chica Chica Boom Boom,... and does so regularly! i love it! he's too smart for his own good... and also for us!

Matthew is also a typical 26 year old boy. he wants things he can't have, he wants to play with his friends 24/7 and then wants to come home to me at midnight and bug ME to play with him! i love the boy but he drives me nutty!! however, things have been going well for us. we are seeing a bit of a light at the end of our debt tunnel. the only downside to our lives is the house that i want more than anything in the world! it hurts how much i want it. hurts.......


anyhow. thats about all from me. there is just so much going on in my life.. so many random things with all sorts of people that its just crazy!

on a great note, my little brothers will be home this weekend!! Ben's coming home tonight and Greg tomorrow!! YEAY for holidays! i love my brothers!!
can we ssaayy ROCK BAND-A-THON!?

"when Irish eyes are smiling...."

feeling: a headache coming on
doing: grad card mania!
wishing: for more time for more work! i'm swamped!

Happy St. Patties Day!!

i hope everyone will get a wee bit-o green beer today! or at least enjoy a story from those who have been truly Irish and drinking since breakfast ( i'm skeptical that the Irish actually do that... ) any excuse for Americans to drink is good enough for me!! haha!

this month has flown. im actually suprised that its only the 17th! lots of little things have happenend and it just seems like its almost too much information! as an ongoing effort, Matt and i are still trying to get our finances in somewhat of an order. it never looks even remotely decent. but we keep hoping and praying. i'm still hoping to get this job as Youth Ministry Coordinator and that will help out! right now i'm more excited about the money than the job, because the more i think about it the more i know i'll be overwhelmed. i can do the job, and do it well, but i'm trying not to think too much about it at the moment! Matt has talked about getting a second job this summer. for a couple days it actually looked good, but then the other night he talked himself out of it in one swift sentence.... we'll see. right now i'm to the point where i think we both need to work crazy jobs until we get some debt paid off! i'm a money whore....and i don't care!

work is starting to speed up this month as well. we have a big big BIG (did i mention big?) wedding this Saturday! we are excited about it because it'll be like nothing we've ever photographed! but at the same time.. talk about TIRED! that'll be us come Satruday night! we're getting more and more appointments on the schedule. we have our kids contest starting next week and baby ducks (hopefully) coming in April! to add to all that Graduations coming up soon so we have lots of Grad Card orders coming in!


in other news... the weather ROCKS! i'm really really hoping that spring has sprung! i'm so incredibly ready for nice weather! plus we took all our heaters out of the house and the plastic off the windows. so if it snows again were screwed... and we'll be super cold!!

now that it's 1, i need to get something more for lunch than popcorn.

" gonna catch me ridin' dirty...."

doing: trying to make myself work
feeling: like CRAP!!! this sickness has been going on for a week now and i just can not shake it!
listening to: 90210, love this show!

so its been a long week. not eventful, but long. Ethan got this head/chest/snotty nose/cough cold thing and was miserable all weekend. aanndd then he gave it to me! how sweet right? well he's still grouchy from being sick and now i'm super grouchy because he's grouchy and clingy and i'm sick to top it off. i've been a treat this week, i'll admit.

i actually have nothing important to write about. works been work. i'm going to be working hard on wedding albums, get some done and delivered! i'm hoping to get them all at least designed by the time our second 09 wedding comes around!


matts been having us watch this show that he's enthralled with, Rob & Big. i think its on MTV or VH1 or something. its about Rob, this skinny white skateboarder guy, and Big, this big black guy that is Rob's bodygaurd and best friend. they live in a house in hollywood and do the most random things! Rob's got tons of money, and its just random!! and funny! so we've watched the first season and will have to get the second season!

its almost time for my lunch hour to be done. so back to work i go!

"" i've been locked inside your heart-shaped box for weeks....""

doing: working on my competition images
feeling: worn out!
listening to: the radio, lazer 103.3. it was awesome this morning but then people started requesting stuff and it sort of tapered off. Nickelback is the big request... like we can't go ONE hour without hearing it! come on!

my photoshop just closed on me... so in order to not throw things i will be blogging to take a break!!

this week has been one for the books. after a LONG-too long-holiday break i was SOSO ready to get back to work! but then tuesday came, people called, people griped, things didn't get done, things got missed...... the list goes on and on. needless to say but lunch i was ready for another break!

on another wonderful note, my babysitters that have already been gone for a week have been gone all of this week as well. awesome..... so i've had to ask my mom every night to watch Ethan. and since he's nowhere NEAR his usual schedule he's been a bit of a handful., so i feel bad. but what can you do when it's 4:30 the night before? who can you call when your sitter says they'll be gone yet ANOTHER day!? he's finally getting back in the groove of things, hopefully his nap was actually closer to his nap time today. he slept through the WHOLE night (he hasnt done that for a couple weeks) last night, he slept in our bed... but that's a whole nother issue. he usually wakes up at least once, if not twice, to ask for juice. damn juice! he woke up at a normal time this morning and was happy! took a shower and had breakfast all before we left the house! thats a new one too for us! i hope i hope i hope that we can get him back on track soon. he needs his normality as much as the rest of us!

Matthew's birthday was the 6th, tuesday, we went to my parents house to eat dinner. my mom made him cheesecake that he LOVES, so he was happy! i could not think of anything to get for him!! so i'm going to get him something later, when i know and when we have some more money! that kid is so hard to buy for! i just never know!

Matt's also started into tax season. they are working until 5 this week and next week until 6 and also Saturdays. he said he's had a steady flow of work, so that's good! hopefully it'll stay steady and not become overwhelming!

this is our wedding show month. we have the Des Moines show on Sunday and then the Pella show next sunday. we've already taken a ton of calls and emails about dates! we'd be full already if everyone that's called had booked! its crazy! so we're hoping to get to our quota of 25 weddings for the year soon! i do like wedding shows, they are fun.. as long as people keep coming to talk to us! there is always that lul where people just walk by and look at you! plus i get to walk around and eat good food and good cake!! aahhh cake!! i love it!

well, i'm going to open my photoshop back up and hope that we get along...... my eyes are droopy, i wish i could take a nap for an hour or so. UGH, it's only 3!?!?!? i was sure it was later! suck!

have a good one!

doing: nothing. nothing. nothing! until 11.
feeling: better. tired a bit still, but better than i have all week!
listening to: Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and Ethan and Matt talking.

its 9am and i've been up since 7:30. i didn't sleep nearly long enough. i went to bed close to 11:30 last night. but i wasn't tired. bummer. i like to sleep.

today is our re-start of our weddings. we have about 5 more for the year, one is a double booked day and then we also have the Susan G. Komen Race in October. this month has gone crazy fast and i have a feeling that October will be the same.

the good news is that i finally found my motivation again! i worked hard on wedding albums this week and i have 5 up on the board ready to be printed! Jeff doesn't like that so much, but its good that we have ones that we CAN send! and now i only have a few more left to make and finalize! one big one is Nicole and Brandons, i'm so excited to finish theirs because-well i really need to- and i'm just hoping that it'll be just awesome! i've put too much pressure on myself to make theirs totally knock-out... and in return i just keep staring at the images with a blank mind. its annoying. but i have like 11 more pages to make (its a 30 page album), so i should be able to knock it out soon!

our wedding today will be.. interesting to say the least. i'm excited to start weddings again and get my brain working that way again. but i wish we had a different wedding to start out with. i'll let you know how the day goes, but say a silent prayer that it goes smoothly!! i'm just not quite sure about it!

jeff and i went to Des Moines yesterday to meet with my wedding for October 11. they are getting married in St. Ambrose Cathedral in downtown and its freaking FABULOUS!! you can't go wrong there! wherever you shoot its awesome!! i'm really excited and aprehensive for that day. the mom is iffy that jeff won't be there with me, but she says she trusts me completley, but shes a bit of a momzilla. so im excited because i know i will get great stuff, but scared that my great stuff wont be great to her. i just hope that i can blow her away! and i also hope that the weather is perfect and the leaves are all colored and awesome!! not too much to ask is it?!

other than being totally drained and tired this week it was fairly good! we dont' watch Reese anymore and while we are a little sad that we wont have that extra income, we are a tiny bit happy that we are back down to one child! one two year old is more manageable! haha! so we've had a good time playing with ethan this week!

Ethan's birthday is in LESS than a month!! i'm so excited! but sad becuase my baby is quickly becoming not my baby anymore. he's going to be 2!!! i can't believe that 2 years ago at this time he wasn't even born yet! its so hard to imagine life before him! although my house was a tiny bit cleaner and i wasn't constantly yelling at him to stop poking me or stop coloring on things..... life is better now!

i tried to have the "2nd child" convo with matt again last night. he just sticks with his "its too hard" reasoning.. which ISN'T good reasoning! (matthew, in case you read this... NOT GOOD ENOUGH!) having a second child isn't like babysitting another 2 year old. and while i'm not blind enough to think that it'll be a piece of cake, i think it will be more rewarding than anything. he's got his other reasons that aren't good either, but at the same time i can understand. however, i told him, i'll be 26 at the end of the year and i am NOT having children after i turn 28. so next year is the year that i will be pregnant! so he better get over his fears and whatever and have a real conversation with me about this!

oh well. such is life with a husband. i don't know why i keep him around, he drive me nutty half the time! and hogs the bed.......
hehe!! ;)
