There just aren't enough hours in the day.

Dear Mallory - you need a new blog too.

There are so many things I want to do, and just not enough hours (or energy) in the day. On my want-to-do-list: Build a large picture frame. Sand and paint the rustic frames I already have. Create a huge portrait collage for Adrie's 1st year, which I can then use as a template for future collages for business. Learn how to use Adobe Premiere to put video snippets into my photo slide shows. Finish my web page. Get it up and running. Process and post my attempt at documenting Adrie's life in her nursery. Start advertising and attracting more business. Finalize what I want to demo/sell at the Heritage boutique this fall. Create more gift certificates. Find a wedding to shoot. Sand down and paint the new end table I bought at DI. Find some better fonts so I quit using the same 3. Create other unique photo-collage gift ensembles. Decide which digital picture frame I like the best, and figure out how I can add that service to my business. Make a dent in my sewing/mending pile. Cook some real meals. Clean out and organize my garage. Clean out and organize all my craft supplies. Work on my family's Christmas memory book. And I could go on and on and on, really.

In the meantime I had two wisdom teeth pulled yesterday and it went marvelously. No troubles at all - teeth were out in like 30 seconds each. Laughing gas makes me feel on the verge of fainting - I do NOT like that feeling at all. The teeth were absolutely disgusting and although I'd planned to post a picture of them, seeing them live was enough to make me ill so I won't terrorize you.

AND now Adrie has Cryptosporidium, a parasite that is making her ill and all diahhrea-like. Hooray for public pools and trashy parents who don't make their kids wear swim diapers. It's terrible, and she whines a lot so I don't have any freedom to work on that list above.

Although it sounds like I'm complaining, life is great and I'm excited about all the things I want to do. That's so much better than feeling bored and unchallenged, right!?

YAY! A new one. Well if you looked at my blog you would see I have a new one up from today! I guess I will make another before the camping adventure.

The list of things to do is always long but try and think about one thing at a time---it helps.
LOVE YOU!!!
PS-You can take my picture.

I'm amazed you can make a list like that. I'm the type that if I made that list, I'd just stare at it until I was so overwhelmed I'd have to take a nap! :) I'm sorry to hear about your cute Adrie! I hope she gets feeling better soon.

yAY! Adrie's Such a doll it's easy to know which one takes precidence (sp?)...and that's all part of God's plan anyway! that's why the scriptures tell us there is a time and a season for all things so just take time and ENJOY WHATEVER you are doing at present time... I promise life is to short to do otherwise and your babies grow up too fast!
