having fun

with this new camera of mine. I am taking an online course and learning at a good pace by a very talented photographer, link below. Here are a few shots from today. Neighbors DD Grace and her dad sure did make these easy for me. My photography blog is a working progress, you can view my pictures @ FlickR.

Just a few shots from today

OCD, like I need another thing to worry about

I joke, a lot. Half of the crap that comes out of my mouth is just gibberish. So, when Blaine was like 1.5 yrs. old he would do these random things that had me asking myself "Is he OCD, or what?" I once and only once made that statement to my DH and he looked at me like I was a crazy lady, which sometime I am let's face it.
Well, long story short, last night DH comes DS after putting Blaine to bed for the 4th night in a row and says "I think Blaine has OCD" Okay, so picture my eyes wide and mouth drops to the floor and I say "Oh yea, why is that" He proceeds to tell me that for the past four nights that he has put him to bed Blaine has to turn in a circle, go over to the light and flip it three times, go back and circle and then get into bed. Okay, sounds ridiculous but it's true. The weird part is if he doesn't do it just right, he has to start over.
This my friends, is just one of the things he does. Another example: When he gives us a high five if he doesn't hit our hand "properly" he has to keep doing it until he feel the proper contact has been made, and if we don't he gets upset.
I have noticed that when other people besides Brian and I give him a high five, he does it but I can see he gets uncomfortable and weird about it. He also does things like walking by something and if one of his feet/legs touch an item, he has to touch the other one....UGH

So, should I take him to see the pediatrician or just wait it out? I don't want to freak out you know...

Little girl(s) wanted for practice photo-shoot

Anyone interested in setting up a day to come over and let me practice shoot on your DG? Girls are more fun then boys as far as props and things, besides pink IS my fav. color....

I am willing to email the shots and let you print them. Must be open to my crazy ideas. Wanting to set up on a day that I am "free" of my boys.

You can comment or send me an email!

WTH do you need a uterus for anyway?

Isn't it funny, how with age things change. Change inside, change outside. I mean to know, to know, to know then what I do now, to have felt then, now....
I remember telling my father at a young 24 that I never wanted kids. I remember him saying "Well that is just selfish". Until now, I didn't understand what he meant by that statement. Now, I do, full circle.
My life just got started three and a half years ago, really. This little cry of joy after 28 pain staking hours of intense labor and life begins.
Going to see my OB Wednesday. Going to discuss a date to remove what made my life what it is today possible. I am sad.

Little man is a HAM!

SAHM Summertime slump/blues

Calling all full time SAHM's out there....are there any left? How do you fill up your days? Seems like a lot of moms are working PT in some way shape or form. Perhaps this is what has me feeling all slumpy and blue!? Maybe I miss working. Adult interaction, having something to do, to be. It is so hot outside my 3.5 yr. old never wants to go out and play. I think I have done everything to do in this town and Blaine doesn't want to do it a second time and honestly nor do I. Zoo, Science Center, Magic House - done it! I don't care for the mom groups I am a member of....to much drama for me, oh yes lots of that.

I miss school for Blaine, he really enjoyed it. C'mon sweet September. I feel like I don't even really have the time to connect with myself these days. I whip out a blog here and there, DL pics of my DC and that takes all of 15 minutes while I hold Leelyn on my lap. BORED! Tired of cleaning, running errands and being inside. Wanting something to do, to call mine. Feeling like I am not as good at photography as I once thought. My world has been opened up to many talented moms out there, wow. I can't find the designated time to really focus on that hobby. I suppose this to shall pass.
