Goodbye NaBloPoMo

in Family, General, NaBloPoMo

NaBloPoMo it's been one hell of a month. I started the MS drugs. I traveled by car across a continent (2 countries, 1 province, 6 states) with 3 kids, survived 3 theme parks, 2 national parks and 2 flat tires. Fell way behind on the laundry. Held my head up high during Georgia's fashion crisis. [...]

I have my very own fashion VICTIM! Yikes! Me: Georgia, why don't you wear your pink boots? They'll match. Georgia: These match. Me: No, they don't. Georgia: Yes, they do, they both have flowers! Who can argue with logic like that? Not me --> Go for it kid! Also take note, the boots are on [...]

I've been tagged -- AGAIN. Well not really, I am lying, I wasn't tagged I am just OUT, OUT, OUT of ideas to blog about. I did what any sorry-assed NaBloPoMo blogger does on the 25th day of her self-induced torture and I tagged myself (courtesy of Safire). Psst ... Go and see Safire's twin [...]

Damn Camera Settings … Damn Kid …

in Family, General, NaBloPoMo

You probably think that I like taking photos, right? If you said right, you'd be wrong. I quite dislike it. I hate getting out the camera, adjusting the settings, trying to figure out the best angle, where the light is. Are there shadows? The more I learn, the more critical I become, the more mistakes [...]
