New Blog Update

I wanted to write about Nettie’s first day of school today. And I wanted to post the cute pictures I took of the baby this weekend. However, I find it more important to get my new blog up and running. As soon as I find out the new URL I’ll post it here so y’all can change your links around.

But yes. Nettie started 1st grade today. FIRST FREAKIN GRADE. I want to know when did I grow up, get married, and now have a 1st grader and a 6 month old baby. I really, really want to know.

By the way, I’m not sure when this move will take place. Sometime in the next 2 weeks or so. Until then, I’ll be on a blogging hiatus…but just from here. I’ll have updates when I move there on the latest happenings in our lives icon smile New Blog Update Stay tuned!

What I want to do

I want to start a new blog. I want to make this one private and move over to wordpress and start a brand new blog. I want it to be more anonymous. I want to use my name but use different names for my husband and my kids. I want to post limited pictures. I want to do this all. The thing is that I’m not sure I can redirect y’all, my readers, to the new blog if this one is made private. And if I can’t make this one private, then what’s the point of moving? I’ve already concluded that going back and editing every single post where their names were mentioned is hopeless. 3 1/2 years of blogging…just can’t do it! So I keep thinking I’ll start a new blog and mention that I DID blog before, since January of 06 but I’m starting fresh. If anyone knows if it’s possible to make this private and still redirect people to a new link, by all means, please let me know! I don’t want to lose readers. I want people to click here and be sent to a new place. I just don’t want this blog to be seen anymore if I do that.

*sigh*

I wish I knew more about computers lol

I have a 6 month old!

Nimmie turned 6 months old yesterday. 6 months old! I can’t believe that 6 months ago I was in labor without knowing it for hours. I can’t believe 6 months ago I held my tiny 5lb 13oz 17 1/2 inch baby for the first time. When I think about our lives and how much we have…how awesome our kids are…wow. Just wow. We are truly blessed.

My Photography

I’m really hoping to have my photography business up and running by the new year. I’m still doing some portfolio building but I feel like I at least have a decent enough grasp on things and a good amount of camera lenses to get started. I can always buy more as money comes in. As you all know I hate working full time and if I could be home with my babies all day and do photography part time, that would be awesome. Then maybe I could take a few online photography classes for fun and to just keep improving my skills even more.

I didn’t get to go out and do photography type photos this weekend with my new lens SO I figured I’d share a few cute ones that I did take and then throw some old favorites in for fun. Hope everyone had a great weekend!

Friday! Holla!

Holla is such an annoying word. I don’t know why I even put it up there because I NEVER say it. But whatever. It fit for today. I’m in a fabulous mood. FINALLY. After this whole week sucked for me. Actually, it sucked for a lot of people I know. I never used to believe in full moons or astrology signs or mecury retrograde or ANY of that stuff. But after the week we’ve all had, I might become a believer.

Last night my new lens came in. (1.4 50mm) YES. I’m SO freakin excited. I couldn’t take many pictures because I had to do the mom/wife thing. BUT this weekend I totally plan on being my normal camera whore self. YAY. Anyway, here’s what I took last night.

Speaking of censorship

Sometimes I feel like taking my blog offline for about a week or however long it takes and changing every post that I’ve mentioned my kid’s or husband’s name and make them different names. Like give them SOME kinda anonymity. And then other days I think, really do THAT many people read my blog? And THEN I think about how long that would take me. Probably longer than a week. So at that point I just think why bother. Plenty of other bloggers use their family’s real names. And honestly, I share about 3% of our actual lives on here. Most things I keep private because I don’t want our whole lives out for everyone to read about. I blog about what I’m thinking about. Things that affect ME. That’s what this is about anyway, right?

Oh yes, and it’s about me being lazy. Because yeah, I’ve been blogging for 3 1/2 years. That’s a LOT of posts to edit. And quite frankly, I have better things to do.

No rainbows or unicorns here

I think the full moon is getting to me. Actually, it’s getting to other people around me. It’s causing them to be moronic and idiotic and I just want to bitch slap people. Seriously.

Why does Hubs think he should play in a midnight softball league once a week? I’m not getting if maybe I’m being irrational or if he is. I personally think there’s no reason for him to be out til the middle of the night once a week, no matter what he’s doing. He could be on his knees at church and I’d be upset about him strolling in at 2 or 3 am. I’d like to think I’m reasonable. I let him hang out with his friends and go have a few drinks with them. I’m ok with this. I’m never ok with coming home at 2 am. Whether it’s because he’s out with friends or if he’s playing softball. Please tell me I’m not being irrational. I just don’t like it. It never occurs to me to find ANYTHING to do that involves ME coming home at that time. He says he wouldn’t care but then again he doesn’t know what it’s like to be home waiting for me to stroll in because I DON’T DO IT. EVER.

*sigh* Maybe I’m hormonal. Maybe I’m being totally ridiculous. Or maybe I’m right. Either way, as you can see, no happy jolly unicorns here today.
