Day 123
Just a bad day all around. From morning to evening a constant challenge to keep a positive frame of mind. Even editing is being stubborn tonight. The photos I wanted to use were going all wonky on me. Praying for a better tomorrow. And so tonight I have fish or are they bunnies....a new favorite for my DD.
And I apologize if I haven't been around to your blog in a while! I know we all have craziness in our lives from time to time and right now I feel like we are in a rut and just can't get out of it. So do know that I appreciate your visit and hope to get back to my normal self soon. :)
Bad moments happen. I had my share and hopefully they will stay away for a long long time.
ReplyDeleteI still like your picture though, it has great colors and the little tongue is just too cute.
I hope you feel better soon
I'm so sorry to hear about your icky day, but from the looks of this bright, colorful, silly photo, one would never guess things were going well. We are always our biggest critic, so don't be so hard on yourself because this blossom is very cute and sweet. I love her jammies and her little tongue sticking out.
ReplyDeleteI wish I was there so I could give you a great big ((HUG))! Tomorrow is another day, so I will be praying that you wake up fresh and renewed and that tomorrow is a magical day for you.
I'm sorry you had a bad day :-( Hoping today is better for you. I LOVE this photo of your dd. Everything about it is just adorable.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments on the homework picture of Em yesterday. I'm sorry you're feeling the same frustrations as me though. I feel like I'm constantly banging my head against a wall with that girl. We'll all be talking at dinner or something and she'll add to the conversation with something she's learned in science or social studies and it actually amazes me how much she knows. Getting her to transfer that knowledge to homework or a test is something that seems nearly impossible though. And she just doesn't seem to care. She's on the verge of having to take summer school just to pass the 8th grade, when she's totally capable of As and Bs.
We do get a lot of light into the dining room in the afternoons-the sun sets on that side of the house. But I did run a Florida action on it to get just a bit more. I actually thought of you when I was editing it and tried to get something similar to what you do. Yours are still better but it's closer than what I usually do :-)
Sorry, I didn't mean to write a book on your post! Maybe I should have emailed you.....lol
I am sending you a huge HUG over the internet! I'm so sorry yesterday was just not a good day for you. Hope that this morning has been a new day with a brighter forecast. I agree with Kristin that from the looks of this photo I would have never noticed it was a bad day. The photo is so bright and beautiful as always and so is your processing.
ReplyDeleteSorry you are having a rough time. I've been in quite the funk too. I haven't been getting around to everyone's blogs like I want to. I hope you are feeling back to yourself soon. Love your picture today. My DD loves these, but unless it has sugar in it, my son doesn't think it is a snack! Ugh!
ReplyDeleteHi Tracy....thank you for visiting my blog and for your nice comments. You asked how I am doing after my accident. Some days, I am very hopeful that things are getting better, but other times I wonder if I will ever feel well again. I have an evaluation coming up on Tuesday. Your blog post here makes me think back to younger days with little children. I have always been a list maker. One especially bad day, when nothing on the list got accomplished and everything possible went wrong, my husband suggested that I start making a list of the little things I DID do. Soon I had many items on my list. "wiped noses 47 times", "rocked the baby, changed diapers, read stories, took temperatures, sang songs, etc" You get the picture. Today my lists are different, but the principle remains the same. Did I wash my dirty front room window? Not yet...but I did cry with, and listen to a friend whose husband got a bad cancer diagnosis today. That was probably more important. Just like phoptography...there is a lot to be said about the perspective. Hang in there...your children will not always be young, and needing so much of your energy. I do hope that today was a better day for you. Try to find some time for youself.
ReplyDeleteI've been a slacker commenter too this last few weeks. The end of school year and spring fever will do that to all of us. But, I'm working on it
ReplyDeleteI think a lot of us are in a funk right now. I like this picture! I love the colors and the DOF.
ReplyDeleteSorry about the bad day! Hope everything is better now. This picture is great. From the colors on the bag, to the unfocused colors on her shirt..too cute!
ReplyDeleteHey there, Tracy! I've been a comment loser, too and I'm just now seeing that you had a bad day. Ugh. Those days stink like feet, don't they?! I hope the rut is over really soon!
ReplyDeleteI do love the colorfulness of this photo!! And her little tongue sticking out...so sweet.
Oh, and you asked how old my youngest is...the one that refuses to potty train....she's THREE!! Sheesh. I'm sure she won't go to elementary school in diapers, but I sure am tired of changing them.
