So I got knocked out by a sinus infection. Or something. Not even sure what exactly. I've been wondering now if it's an ear infection really. My head has been hurting so badly the past 4 days. But today has been a lot better than the last few, so I'm thankful for that.
Yesterday was tough. I struggled to even get myself to church, woozy in the car the entire ride there. But Rob prayed with me right before we left and I felt a lot better suddenly when I walked into the sanctuary. We did a skit, so I was really trying to pull it together for that. The plot was pretty simple - me sleeping in on a Saturday and Rob trying to wake me for the Fall Fest Planning breakfast. It was humorous though, especially since I'm generally the one dragging Rob out of bed to meet our commitments. :) The crowd seemed to enjoy it and the whole 'bedraggled' look worked for me, considering how down and out I was yesterday. I didn't even make it to prayer last night, the idea of corralling two children through individual/corporate prayer service was more than I could manage. We stayed home in pajamas. I went to bed early and slept in this morning. I love Labor Day.
So tomorrow we tackle another a week. I'm trying hard to work through some photography books and that's going pretty well. I've also spent some time today reworking our family budget. It's been a little out of kilter because of my photography expenses and I'm really not comfy with that, I'm excited to do better with it. Grocery gaming has been too far off my radar as of lately too, so I really need to get clicking. I did spend a good hour on the phone with Lori this afternoon clipping coupons, now I just need to sort and get my lists going. I'm very excited to get our financial life corralled again. We are enrolled in a Dave Ramsey course that starts on Thursday, and I'm super psyched about that.
I also massively cleaned house today. All that's really left is the kids room (insert horror music here) and our master bath. Oh, and I really need to steam clean the carpets. hmmm. I'm feeling a lot better about things in general though, just having gotten on top of our paper work and household chores. I finally got my kitchen floor scrubbed today, and man, that felt good!
I really do love our life.
God is so good.
About Me
- antho
- Every shoot is different. Every family is unique and special. Every couple has their own interpretation of their relationship. There is no cookie cutter session with me. I think if I get to that point, it's time to put the camera down, don't you? We've all seen those photographers - you know the underpaid hourlys at Sears, or the over-paid wedding photographer that you can tell is simply putting their time in to get the same images - just different folks than they did at the last setting or event. I pray before each shoot to be freshly inspired by the people in front of my lens, that I see what God sees in them. He loves each of us as His precious children and delights in our personalities and quirks. I feel like my calling is to witness that special something in you and capture it in an image. The day that I stop feeling that way about it is the day I need to close up shop.
