handsome men & nervous breakdowns

Took the boys and the camera out today for a little practice. Playing with some new settings on the camera, as well as some new stuff in photoshop. And there wasn’t even any complaining! That never happens. I think they took some pity on me cause it hasn’t been pretty around here and they know I am a mommy on the edge of a breakdown! Tried some shots with some texture again. What do you think? It’s supposed to look kinda old fashioned. Not sure if it’s working though. They do remind me of that show "Carnivale". I miss that show- I really loved it. And I’m still waiting for some closure since they left off right in the middle of the thing.  

The boys are getting so big. It’s really crazy how fast it’s happening. Soccer season starts soon along with baseball. We’re gonna be very busy. Jack has decided to drop the cello- he’s honestly not enjoying it at all. We discussed it and while I don’t want him to be a quitter, it’s just not the right match for him. So no more cello (which is really okay with me cause lugging that thing is just a big ol pain in the ass since I end up carrying it- along with Timmy- most days on the way home from school). Other than that, they are doing fantastic. Math State testing this week so lots of pressure, but they have been getting in the 90’s on their math tests, so they should be okay.I just have to make sure to get my butt out of bed early for the next few days.   

The patient is behaving himself (for the most part) and I think he is really done with the whole recovery thing. God knows I am. I have discovered a newfound respect for all the single mommies out there. Doing everything is hard hard work. I’m exhausted. Now if he would just STOP ASKING if he’s being a good patient every 15 minutes… Maybe he needs a sticker chart. At least I no longer have to be nurse nancy as the bandages are off now. Follow up visit with the doctor on Wednesday– hopefully he will get clearance to go back to work. Please.

A thank you to everyone who has called, come by, dropped off gifts, gift cards, food, etc. You guys all rock!. My friend Jen had perfect timing earlier this week and got me a gift certificate to my favorite sushi place (that was for giving her the crib and firehouse for her kids). Yum. If I could have sushi every night, I think I really would.
