Just so you know…III

The trial period of my Photoshop CS5 has expired.  So for the last WEEK I have kept the program open on my computer (that means never shutting my computer down), so that I won’t lose all those really cool functions that I have grown so accustomed to.  $700 really isn’t that much, is it?  Dang.  I still think it is.  But my computer is going to have to shut down eventually, which means I’m going to have to break down and buy it.  Ugh.  When will money stay in my pockets?

I was making dinner the other day.  Mackay decided she wanted to get in the tub (at 2:00 in the afternoon).  So she striped down completely naked.  I just kept cooking.  She ran around as a monkey for a while.  Zack thought it was hilarious.  I wouldn’t mind my children staying fully clothed.  And clean.  And fed, for that matter.

You know that song that you never want to download, because it would take away the excitement of randomly hearing it on the radio?  The song that you all of a sudden start driving the speed limit for, and secretly wish that you’ll hit that red light so you can stay in the car a little longer?  Well, I heard that song the other day.  “Drops of Jupiter” by Train.  Totally random.  But thoughts of high school started flooding back, and not one word of the lyrics was forgotten.

I break out into a sweat when I change my son’s diaper.  At first it was cute that he would squirm about and crawl around diaper-less, trying to get away from me trying to catch him.  But it’ really not fun anymore, because he is good.  The other day was one of these experiences, so I just let him go.  I watched him crawl over to my daughter’s toys, crawl up onto her toy bin, and then pee all over her blocks.

I have saran wrap for “special occasions.”      It is rose colored and is the name brand kind.  It even has the razor that you just slide back and forth to cut it.  There is no wrap getting stuck together with this thing.  The only problem is that I’ve had it for over four years.  I either need more “special occasions” to use my couture saran wrap for, or I need to get a life.  Probably the latter.

I hate when I need to discipline my child, but I can’t not smile.  That makes everything harder, because then they think you’re joking.  And you lose all authority or respect you once had.

My daughter said “vomitrocious” yesterday.

I’m doing some serious work on my business.  Pretty much reworking it from the ground up.  Totally exciting, but oh-so much work.  So I’ve cut down on my photoshoots lately so that I can actually work ON my business, not just IN it.  Too often I had the excuse, “I just work edit to edit!  I don’t have TIME to do anything else!”  So I had to get rid of the excuses and get down to business.  It is so rewarding and so much fun.  Yesterday the UPS man (it seems like we get together way too often) came by and delivered my gift cards.  I was elated.  They were beautiful and so much more than I could have dreamed!  So here’s a sneak peak below:
