Picture Day

Today I had our family pictures taken by a local photographer! She's great. Kristaroderphotogrhapy.com is where you'll find her! K, that's my marketing skills for the day.  So as prepping before pictures seems to ALWAYS go, I was left feeling like I have booked the WORST possible thing ever!! The girls are running around, no one is listening. I'm combing hair and they are screaming as if I was chopping their heads off (comb went right thru also, which as some of you may know, means there werent' any freakin' tangles) Anyways, finally i'm able to do some own hair/make-up when the BF says, "should we iron their shirts?" Well to be honest he was right, we should! I just didn't have time, didn't think about it until he said something. I should say it's not like these shirts were old and wrinkely, they were new and had those fresh new wrinkle to them. He ironed them for me b/c I think he FINALLY sensed that perhaps I was getting stressed. Steve-o was coming to the pictures and had put on a write t-shirt WITH WRITING on it under the nice white buttom up he was going to wear (we all wore white). Needless to say you could see all that writing..so there I am telling him how to change it around, while doing my hair, taking girls shirts off to be ironed and the BF is saying "Couldn't we have taken our own pictures?, I think i'm only doing this once." AAAAHHHHHHH!!!! Sometimes I wonder about men. I really don't think my little Nikon camera is going to take the same pictures that this PHOTOGRAPHER is going to take! Anyways, it all turned out and everyone ofcourse ended up happy that we did it. What they seem to have forgotten is the stress/hell they had to put me in just to get to that point.

Like sand through the hour glass, so are the days of MY life!
