i’ve started a new category for my blog – “a father’s wisdom”. my dad forwards me a tonne of junk emails every day and i sift through them when i can.. some are good (lovely poems about family and babies), some are bad (“THIS IS HOW YOU GET CANCER” ??), some give me a little chuckle (LOL cats, photos of babies with wigs, random weird facts) and i hope they do the same for you!
i’m going to post EXACTLY what he’s emailed me – text, pictures.. MOVIES. i have a treasure trove of things to share with you .. starting with this one
Husband says: When I get mad at you, you never fight back. How do you control your anger?
Wife says: I clean the toilet…
Husband says: How does that help?
Wife says: I use your toothbrush…

we have our first family portrait coming up on sunday … and there will be a total of 8 of us all piled into a studio for it. i can’t wait! but i really really hope the kids hold out for it – i know grandma & grandpa want a photo with them, my sister wants a photo with them, Regan and I want a photo with them. then there’s the big group shot and then maybe photos on their own. thank goodness we’ve consulted professionals… lol.
i think my baby belly is disappearing … now i’m not organising the I GOT MY BODY BACK parade yet, but i’m glad to be seeing some sort of progress after doing some sort of abdominal exercises EVERY day, even if it’s just 15 minutes a pop. i’m not praying for a miracle, i’m just going to continue putting in the time and effort and it should pay off.
i’m trying to calm myself and focus on 1 project at a time … so i’m starting on my blog & website template design idea and i’m going to stick to it until it’s up and running. i don’t have the funds for what i want to do with sh1ft.org photographic projects, and i want to do that properly, so it will wait but hopefully people will stick with the photo projects in the meantime…
our building a house dream is probably out of reach … but i keep looking for land anyway in hopes that we will find the right place and the right time, for the right price.
my hands are twitching more (on their own) these days … i think it’s time for a decent hand massage
how about you? what have you been up to?
