To say “when it rains it pours” at my house would be a drastic understatement, it’s much more similar to a typhoon.  For me, that means God must be readying me for something big and for you it means, don’t stand to close, you might get very wet.

So here I am, on top of every other bump and valley, sick again.  My throat is on fire and my nose is running like a bucket.  Do you see that cute little blue eyed boy on the post below?  Don’t let his good looks fool you, he is a walking virus.

I wept on my daughter’s shoulder in the driveway, feeling very sorry for myself and wondering when I was going to catch a break.  I’m not usually the type that feels sorry for myself, but lately, I must admit, I have felt that way more often than not.

Unfortunately, pity parties do little to help, but I can dream can’t I?

Well, I’m off.  The NyQuil and I have a big date tonight.

I am not a cat person.

At all.

So can someone tell me what I am doing with this?

Sucker I tell ya.

I am highly allergic to this little guy; sneezing, itching and small hives.   I was hoping my allergies had diminished over the years, but apparently not.

Oh and did I mention asthma?

So does anyone have any ideas for me, so I don’t have to break my kids hearts and get rid of little Benny?

This is King Meemer and his mama, who is politely telling me to get lost with my camera.  Actually it was something more like, “you’re obnoxious,” but I was undeterred.

I tried to catch miss fussy, (I say that with the utmost love and affection,) without her knowing by shooting from the hip.  Meaning, I didn’t raise my camera to my eye, I shot it from waist level.  But that girl has good ears I tell you!  She could hear my shutter ten miles away.

Isn’t she beautiful even though she’s reprimanding me?

Anyway, have fun and try this approach to get all kinds of interesting shots.  When I do this, I can’t wait to get home and see what I’ve captured.   It’s always a hoot!

And before Kimmie gets a hold of me at church tonight and strangles me after seeing this photo of herself on my blog, I need to tell you she has poured out her heart about their upcoming adoption in this post and since I could never do it justice, you must read it for yourselves.

Gee summer seemed awfully short, just as I’m sure the winter will seem brutally long.  Can you tell how much I am anticipating transcripts?  Certainly more self discipline than what this free spirit is used to.

Today I did head shots for a talented group of kids that perform two full productions of Shakespeare every summer.   Although I have yet to see the performances, I hear it is amazing sight to see.  And see it you will, as soon as I get the shots from the productions.

And even though I didn’t get her permission to post this….ehem…I hope Pirate Jacky won’t mind. 

It is amazing what you can accomplish with a sheet and a couple of poles in the front yard.
