Happy Mother's Day

Great day with the kids!  We went out to eat at Logans Roadhouse... the chicken salad is pretty amazing!  Then I took them to see the theatre... Katie loved it... Tanner didnt' like the pillers down the middle of the isle!   Silly boy!  Then we went to Target where Matthew got new bedding and then home to watch a movie!  We had some fun in the car, and sat on the patio....  I tried to take a picture... but they REFUSE even at their age to participate without a fight!
What can I say... they ARE my children!

Something isn't Right!

What do I have to blog about?  ALOT while I am in the shower or in my car!  In bed for the night or at work!  I always seem to have something to say when I am not able to say it.  Drives me nuts!!!

But something about this isn't right!  I mean, I thought the purpose of my blogging was to vent!  HereI am afriad to vent because it might offend someone! lol  Well I make NO MORE EXCUSES!!!  If you are going to read THIS blog, MY blog, then put on some big girl panties because this might get bumpy from time to time. :)

Work is good... I have a good job that allows me time!  But I have so much more to offer and I feel that I am wasting away there.  I think I was never meant to work for others.  My boss said that to me once... and it stuck in my head.  I am too creative to be boxed up.  I have ideas and my personality want to sore... but at the same time my ''wings are exhausted from my last flight... so maybe it is best to just roll with the flow for awhile longer.  But I definatly do believe I could bring some great stuff to the table... When it hits me... I will go for it.  Right now... peace is good.

10 Things I could have done today...

The day started out with me NOT feeling good at all... Woke up with a headache and thought "not today!!!"  I had promised to do engagement pictures for my neice today... so today was not a day I could give into being sick...  So I get up,  blow my nose, brush my teeth, wash my face, take several motrin... wrap up in a robe because I have the chills and will myself to NOT be sick.  After the motrin had 1 hour of cycle time in my system, I start to get ready... hair, make up, deciding what to wear.  I then get my camera ready... Charge batteries...make sure I have extra charged up batteries, empty SD cards... find extra SD cards... lenses.  I print out ideas for some cool shots that I have looked through pages and pages online over the last 3 weeks... and pack up my camera bag.  Dennis in the mean time stops 'puttering' - he hates that word- around the yard and gets ready because after we do pictures we were going to drive to see his mom for mothers day.  Well... The bride to be wouldn't get out of bed... so from 9 am to 1:00 was a bust for me.  Totally aggreviated!  So here are the 10 things I could have done... realistically... because some of them I DID move so I could devote this day to my neice...

1..... I COULD have.....went to visit my parents and painted my mom's living room (which I moved to the 21st because I wanted to do these pictures sooner for her.)

2.... I COULD have.... Stayed in bed cause I was not feeling well.

3... . I COULD have went to the theatre to finish up my set.. I had people willing to do that today, but I said I couldn't.

4....  I COULD have went to Guymon for the Pioneer Day Weekend.

5...  I COULD have used the entire day to not only build the planter but plant it...

6... I COULD have stayed up later last night

7... I COULD have worked on Katie's Website.  She needs the money!

8....  I COULD have watched movies in my pajamas

9.... I COULD have worked more hours yesterday instead of taking off work so I could work at the theatre yesterday instead of today.

10....  I COULD have read.

Glass Pear - Say it Once

http://youtu.be/gwauwpLFbfA

If you'll only say it once
Then say it now
And if you'll only come here once
Then come here now

Close the door and let me watch
My skin is burning like a fire
Take that red dress off
I want to see my desire

'Cos every feeling that you've lost
Is waking up inside you
And every dream you've cast away
Is coming back to find you

If you only do it once
Then do it now
And if you only dream it once
Then dream it now

Don't allow your heart
To accept a prison
'Cos you took my heart
And you gave it vision

'Cos every feeling that you've lost
Is waking up inside you
And every dream you've cast away
Is coming back to find you

When you find your love
Don't let it go to sleep
When you find your love
Let it go, let it go deep

'Cos when you've found your love
Then you've found your belief
'Cos when you've found your love
Hey babe you've found, you've found me

If you'll only say it once
Then say it now
And if you'll only come here once
Then come here now

Close the door and let me watch

Don't allow your heart
To accept a prison
'Cos you took my heart
And you gave it vision

'Cos every feeling that you've lost
Is waking up inside you
And every dream you've cast away
Is returning back again

Shooting pictures!

Tomorrow I get to take engagement pictures for my neice.  I am so excited to create something she will have for her whole life! ... but I am also a bit nervous.... I know I can produce some good shots, but I usually only take pictures for me... this is different.  Also I usually only take pictures of my kids... so this is more pressure!  I am going to charge up my batteries and put my brave face on and act like I know what I am doing! LOL  well.... I sorta do! :)
