in an effort to prepare healthy snacks for my children, i cut my thumb into two apple sized slices on the apple slicer thingie (they're sharp, who knew?) it hurts sooo much i can't type :( also i really want to use that one minute manicure stuff but i know it would sting like billio. i always wonder (as i am a huge pessimist realist if i have some kind of disease that makes such cuts more painful and slow to heal... i hate having sore digits and having to wear band-aids :(
i am in post school picture hell :( i take the pictures, love the pictures - at least 50% of them, for about 30 minutes, then the icky part sets in... the regret about the unfortunate lighting on that pic, or the hard to clone background or that i should NEVER EVER shoot manual because i am not capable of paying attention to the meter AND talking about Real Housewives of New Jersey when i find TV soooo much more interesting than light meters... then there's the be-spectacled people (i should just ask that they remove their glasses even if they can't see without them - is that wrong? it's just soo hard with the reflections to see their eyes and they say the eyes are the windows to the soul (or something...)
sigh. that's where i am at - school is out in 9 days and i am complete avoiding working on the pictures :(
last night was open house: i officially LOVE Danny's kindy teacher (OK i did all year but last night, at open house, Danny presented us with book upon book of beautiful writing, self portraits and an entire portfolio of masters inspired art (all laminated for longevity. what do you buy the kindy teacher who cares that much about preserving your child's little years forever? is there a big enough gift card to Target? is a gift card enough? i love her (and i'm going to miss her!!)
on the topic, i am stressing now about the last day of school - i am going to cry, i almost cried last night (OK, i did cry in private when it was safe to do the ugly cry) it's Sam's last day of elementary school and Danny's last day of kindy. i need to find something to curb emotion in the next 9 days :| cry-off... sob-be-gone... man-in-a-jar, heartless-bitch-in-a-bottle - something like that ;)
as always i had more to say but i can't remember any of it now... back later with no pictures (thanks to the blue E, i can only do pics using the orange fox)
I started to cry upon seeing the set-up for the pre-K end of the year celebration, and my girl isn't even in pre-K yet. I cried at the thought of it happening next year. At the set up of chairs!
ReplyDeletethe pictures are wonderful. I know they are. ♥
ReplyDeleteMoral of the story, don't cut up their apples. They can eat them whole you know. :)
