The big kids are out of school this month, so the household is louder than usual- but generally jolly (and sometimes, a war zone). The littlest is still going to preschool but just two days a week so that she can enjoy the big kids a little more during this time. The holidays are on my mind- what I’m going to make, buy, and do. I also shot my first holiday photo session yesterday. I love this time of year. It might be hectic and even stressful but it feels like family.
The kids have been playing alot of video games. The eldest, WoW. The middle child- Jak and Daxter. The littlest has mostly watched but sneaks in some time at nick jr when she finds the family computer free. The youngest two children have been pretty obsessed with eating. Growth spurt or boredom? I don’t know. But it’s irritating and worrisome. “Mommy can I have…” all day long.
The chickens are molting so they aren’t laying. The kittens aren’t kittens anymore and will be getting fixed next week. I’m still working like mad on too many projects, but expect to finish them all by Thanksgiving.
After which, I will concentrate on opening my new photography business with my aunt and transform my custom web design business to a premade web design business. Since my web design business has been doing so great I’m a little nervous about the change, but at the same time- I need to do what is best for me, my family and my customers and since I got sick I just can’t handle the long hours at the computer nor the large volume of work.
Speaking of being sick, I have my good days and bad days. On my bad days I struggle to speak, think, walk, sleep, eat, digest and even swallow. On my good days I’m still in a lot of pain. I’m going to try some “alternative” therapies before I do the invasive stuffs the conventional docs would have me do next. I’ve already begun with my diet, making sure I get all the vitamins I need each day- and avoiding processed foods as much as possible. I’ve cut out a lot of the diet soda I was drinking- replacing it with smoothies and water. I can’t tell you if it’s helping, because like I said- I still have both good days and bad days and there seems to be no method to the madness.
This week my mom has an ultrasound to take a look at her internal organs. She’s not been feeling well and her doctor worries that she’s having a vasculitis attack in her organs. Also, Michael competes in the county spelling bee. This weekend coming up I plan to do another family photo shoot and to take some practice shots of a couple of my favorite models. Life is full.
I better get to work. Lot’s to accomplish today. I’ll update again soon!
