lost time ...

i know that this blog serve no other purpose but my own gratification. no one reads this blog and why could i blame them ... it's boring ... it's lost all sense of attraction and well like a run out pair of shoe's it soon will be no longer the right fit for some. ME being first on that list !! i'm sorry i must say that at the beginning of my blogging days i was excited about what i would post to the world next ... and well LIFE has sucked the fun out of my blogging.

i know people take breaks from there blogging but i am just DONE with this blog ... Please note that i still absolutely LOVE blogging and will tweak a few things here and there and hopefully fall in LOVE with my blog again.

And as for the LIFE that sucks the fun out of blogging is NOT my son ... nope it's other LIFE things ... i have a full time career ... i am a mother ... a wife ... and run a photography business on the side ???

i LOVE all those things and what i'm trying to get out here is that i wish there was more time for all my THINGS in this life. it feels as though there is no TIME !!

i will change the blog
i will make more time
i will not put off things till tomorrow
i will LOVE this creative outlet once again.
i will DO this in the next couple weeks OK month.
i will hope YOU come back and read and COMMENT.
i hope i attract YOU again.

The good ol' ball game !!

It was a close game they were hot and tired you could see the sweat dripping from the brow of the pitcher and he nodds his head at the catcher and takes his stance and here's the pitch and a CRACK of the bat and it's going it's going it's GONE !!! and the crowd roars and the home team get's a HOME RUN !!!!



WoW excitement in the air !!! For Ethan's first ball game ... it was hot and we all burnt a little.. it was worth it. Unfortunately our team lost in the bottom of the ninth .... ya but it was a close game and again worth it.



How was your long weekend ? of course i did do some work around the house and will try to continue today ... painted yesterday and plan on finishing today ... we will see i might have caught a bug :( not feeling so great but ... hoping that will change.



here are a few clips from our 1st game with Ethan. he loved it and although he is three 3 hours is a long time to sit and watch ... he did great. I asked him if he would go again and he said "that was a great day at the baseball game " ! I think he's hooked.

Hope you all had a safe and happy MAY LONG weekend !!!

It's spring when the local fair comes around....a few weekends ago we took Ethan to it and this year was alot more fun! He was lovin' the rides and was able to go on alot of them ... This one was the Tilt-a-whirl which = one sick mommy and two extremely happy Boys.

It all worked out in the end after i STOPPED felling sick i was able to scarf down a candy apple = Happy mommy again!

Next on my dream list is to get my Studio/office organized and lookin' good i can't wait to create in this room i have things flowing over in my brain ...MUST GET DOWN BEFORE THEY ARE GONE !! help from ikea to get it done.
ikea desk = ubber space to create.

Ikea Chair = ubber cool

ikea shelf = ubber greatness

ikea lights = ubber brightness on my canvas photo's

I love it and will keep dreamin' until i get these items maybe soon (late b-day gift)
It's Tuesday today and that means only two more work days for me and a extra LONG weekend ahead to enjoy. hope you enjoy yours ...

Proud Mama monent !!

So yesterday on my favorite lazy Sundays i was reading when i heard you saying the letter's to your name ... and it was so cute to hear you say E-T-H-A-N my heart was fussy and i watched you proudly ... your only 3 and you spelled your name all by yourself !! I didn't have to tell you what letter came next or which letter at all to put in there ... You did it and i was So PROUD of you! here it is ...

Today was an insanely crazy Monday at work for me and i seriously was wiped by the end of the day and guess what i get to do it all over again tomorrow! On top of the crazy insane day at work Ethan did decide to have two episodes last night and was up crying and screaming at 2 am and 4 am ... NICE !! but my alarm was set for 5 am and well you get the picture. But I LOVE him anyway i just wish he would grow out of these Night terror's. Oh ya and the cavalier Broke down today for my husband on his way to work !! how do ya like that. ( good thing i had the BMW ! ) that concludes my Monday march 3rd. let's see what tomorrow brings.

S-U-N-D-A-Y !!!

I Love a slow sunday! The kind that you just catch up on the really favorite things you like to do. For me it's catching up on all my websites with all my inspirational muses ... catching up with my facebook buddies and ya if i find the extra time between loads of laundry to watch a good movie in the afternoon. That's my idea of a perfect day.

Tonights dinner menu is all prepared and ready to go and my work clothes are ready for the work week :) you'd think that i'm all prepared and done for the night huh? nope still need to find more time to finish up de-cluttering the house in prep. for our BIG move! 13 days and counting.

the weekend was good too fast ... even though i have Fridays off as well it always goes too fast. Saturday Ethan and i hung out and cleaned Tyler was at a fishing tourny ... he didn't catch any thing ( Surprise ) and we did more off nothing into the evening. But this morning it was breakfast and off to Costco for some sunday groceries and what ever else we found.

Well i hope you all had a great weekend, I need to find sometime this week to let out a little moving stress with some creative play time ... wish me luck.

The RULES ....

Today Ethan informed me of "The Rules" in the car ... he said that we are going to the store. then to the movie store. then to the toy store. then to eat then home to do a little sleepy. And that's "The Rules" mommy!!



I of course just about hit the person in front of me because it's sooo Funny to hear him quote me! I say that to him all the time ... It's the rules my boy and wow you gave it right back to me!



growing way too fast !! Today we went to the best place on earth for me ... my local scrapbook store for some updated supplies ... I'm really trying to get back into scrapin' but with the move coming up i almost feel guilty bringing more stuff in here just to pack it all up and go. But i had to feed my hunger for creating and doing something i LOVE doing! Hey what's wrong with that? - Nothing !



What are you doing this weekend ?? I'm ... You got it - Packing like crazy and throwing out crap i don't need to bring to the new house. i really do Hate moving and packing ... i'm such a suck !



i did get to do some art yesterday it's different and i like it.



Hope you all have a great weekend ! - Yay for weekends !!
