I’ve been tired but feeling so good. Having the pain leave still has me on a high. I wake up each morning and read to David, prepare their food and get to work on my CHA layouts. I have five done and one more to do tomorrow. Then I have a pink paislee assignment for next week and then back to cha work. so far so good. Lately, things are busy so I am focusing on the must get done items. reading to david, exercise, cha layouts, portraits, etc. everything else is pretty much falling on the floor. this weekend I will pick up a whole bunch hopefully and start getting caught up. Let’s hope.
So I’ve been doing a bad job on the photos. The fact that it’s dark doesn’t help either. I switched back to my 85mm today. Since it’s 1.8 and not 2.8 that gives me a lot more light. Let’s see if the photos improve.
I love how Nathaniel likes sitting with his brother.
Here’s me trying to get a shot of David again and him giving me a “smile” so he can get back on the computer.
I love these shots. Even with the blur and the bad color. There’s something about them that speaks to me.
And the last one. I didn’t get any good ones today. Oh well there’s always tomorrow.
And here we are. It’s almost bedtime for the kids and I am going out to my friend Holly’s house tonight to play Mahjongg with a bunch of my work friends. People I love and haven’t seen in a long time. Excited. And then we do it all again tomorrow. Life goes quickly.
Three Things I’m Grateful For:
1. I am deeply grateful to be in no pain. Still. I can’t tell you how grateful.
2. I am grateful that I get to go out tonight and be with good friends and just enjoy it.
3. I snuck out for a short period today and went to Anthropologie to buy my December reward (I buy a piece of clothing for every month that I exercised daily). They had a skirt I loved and so I bought it even though I was planning on buying tops only for a while. When I tried it on, the size that fit me was size four. Four! I can’t ever remember being a size four in my life. This exercise and eat well routine is definitely working and i am deeply deeply deeply grateful.
Three Things David’s Grateful For:
1. I am grateful that I did a wishing thing in art today {* his pick for the journal}
2. I am grateful that we did workstations at school because the smart board was really fun
3. I am grateful that I did a timeline at school, i’d never heard of that and it’s cool
No matter what your “plans” WERE, a size FOUR warrants the purchase. You would have been crazy not to. I always think that if I feel like a million bucks in something, I will feel more confident. I don’t care if it’s $40 or $120, I buy it because as SAHM I don’t buy much anymore and I think I deserve at least one nice thing every once in a while. So, congrats on your triumph! Can’t wait to see how your lovely portraits progress through the year, too, BTW!
I love your reward system! That might get me up and moving! =)
