The woes of motherhood...

I can't be the only mom that gets frustrated and fed up, there are days where I think why in the hell did I get myself into this??? Don't get me wrong I love my children and don't regret them for a second but holy crap why wasn't I warned that it was going to be this difficult... that I would function with little to no sleep, that if I got a shower before noon it was a good day, that my idea of a romantic dinner with the husband would include chocolate milk corn dogs, chicken strips, grilled cheese and fries??? All this and being a military wife and for the 1st 6 years of our marriage I would also be in... I got out when our youngest was 6 months old also right when my hubbers left for his 3rd deployment in 6 years!!! Now while it's difficult to have my husband gone sometimes it's as difficult to have him home.... he's really my 4th and most difficult child, the other 3 manage to get their dirty clothes in the laundry room or in the basket in their room him um NO the floor where ever he is walking by lol!!! So even though I've been cleaning my house for the past hour I am still nowhere near where I want it to be!!! It's not to the point where I would be embarrassed if anyone came over, let me explain!!! The laundry room is full of dirty clothes, but there are 5 people in this family and both the washer and dryer are going... The sink has dirty dishes in it, but we cook almost every meal at home and the dishwasher is going.... There are crumbs on the floor but the baby is eating pop tarts!!! See all 100% perfect reasonable explanations why my house isn't spot less BUT do I listen to my own advice NO!!! I don't spend all day cleaning my house by any means I would much rather play with my children then clean, 1 day they won't want to play and then I can worry about the house all day : ( well enough of my mom rant I smell a stinky pull-up : /

My baby brother!!!

I'm in the process of training my baby brother (ok he's 21 not exactly a baby anymore lol) in the art of photography!!! So we went out to the park yesterday I armed him with my xsi and my 70-200 lens while I had my 7D and my new nifty 50 lens!!! He's come SO far since I started teaching him a few short months ago!!! I'm super proud of him!!! Here's my FAV pic of him!!!!

Welcome Baby Mason

So I had the pleasure today to photograph a beautiful little 3 week old ; D Here's the best from the session!!! Oh and btw he didn't want to sleep at ALL or stay still lol!!!

He was blinking lol!!!

Finally he slept for 30 seconds ; )

And now he's awake hahaha

Don't let him fool you he's wide awake lol!!!

He was moving and shaking!!!

HI!!!!

I took this just in time because after this his hand didn't come out of him mouth lol!!!

What was your greatest investment???

Mine is a toss up between my camera and my sewing machine!!! Both bring me joy and produce LOTS of goodies and they both make me money so that's a bonus also ; ) if I had to narrow it down it would be really hard!!! I use them both daily but as much as I love my sewing machine I hate it also lol we really have a love hate relationship it loves to make me mad and I hate it for it lol!!! If I could produce products like I can produce photos it wouldn't be such an ordeal BUT I've only been sewing for a year and I've been doing photography for over 6 so in 5 years I'll let you know if I still hate my sewing machine or not!!! What is your must have investment???
