Ok, so I knew that being a housewife was going to be hard work. I knew it was going to be thankless work. But I didn't know that I was going to have to go around picking up after a bunch of ungrateful slobs. It's unfortunate that my husband - after 31 years of being on this earth - can not recognize a mess when it is staring him in the face and then do something about it. I know that he didn't feel well today, but even when he feels fine, he still doesn't want to contribute to keeping the house looking clean. Unfortunately for me, I also have a teenager that has the attention span of a toddler and the memory of a field mouse. She is seriously not on a level of being able to comprehend much (except whether or not there are boys around), and trying to get her to understand something takes a lot of me trying to pound it into her brain. She gets exasperated easily because of this (and the fact that her attention span almost doesn't exist), so she tries to get me to leave her alone. Most of the time, I don't have the energy to sit there and explain to her what is going on, draw diagrams, and then have her practice it over and over. And we are not talking about anything tough here - more like whether or not she puts her shoes away when she gets home. Like don't stack your dishes in the left side of the sink. Like FREAKING PAY ATTENTION!!!
Ok, am I done with the sarcasm? Hopefully!
I have a bunch of holiday pictures to shoot still, and even more to edit. So. Much. To. Do. I should be in bed right now since Tyler will be here tomorrow, but I am pissed at Blaine for doing nothing all the time, and I wanted to share some portraits after I calibrate my monitor. I don't want to share the family portrait that will be going out with the Christmas cards this year, but I will share some of the others that we took at the same time. They turned out really cute even though we did them quickly and were very limited on the amount of shade that we could find. Stupid sun. I want some overcast days!
I am looking forward to a couple of fun holiday parties this year. I can't wait to get to them so that I can relax and enjoy myself. That's one thing that I love about my hubby - he is a social butterfly. I always feel comfortable at parties when he is around because I know he will find something in common with anyone. Bring on the parties.
Ok, there is nothing new going on right now except for the fact that I am horny as all heck. Oh wait - that's not new either. Darn.
Bring on the pictures.
