K, what’s new with the business angle.
Someone emailed me today wanting pictures.
I still feel like mine’s a monster at times. And I do like 3 shoots a year.

one should never feel guilty over a stinky bathroom when one has little boys at home . . .

I agree with Doris…
And don’t feel guilty, I am just realizing how completely addicted I am to “Ramblings” and had a small minor melt down yesterday (no worries, the docs assure me my sight will eventually return) due to no new post. But with the help from BA (Bloggers Anon) and their 24-hour 800 hotline, I have pulled through. Whew!
JK. I know blogging can get sometimes get that “deadline” feeling to them, but I am just as happy as a clam that you even write. I love reading your stuff, and would be a devoted reader even if you wrote once a month.

Try walking from a parking structure across the street to a wedding at a hotel and having your dress caught in your panty. Then, try having the people walking behind you attend the same wedding, not like I’d know how that feels…

this is why i no longer wear panty hose

Don’t ya hate it when that happens?! Seriously, life is all about getting better not starting perfect! You’re on the path! Hang in there!

I feel guilty I haven’t devoted more time to chocolate and Diet Coke. I must go remedy that. I don’t, however, feel guilty about not blogging for 2 weeks. Don’t kick yourself for 2 days or whatever it was. Kick yourself for lack of Diet Coke and chocolate. Maybe that’s just the people in my head talking…

You are so right. I often catch myself feeling sorry for myself when in actuality, I am SO blessed and my trials are miniscule. I need to be more grateful for my blessings.
April 20, 2007 - 1:28 pm
that’s a really great attitude to keep. thanks for sharing it with us. we all can use a reminder once in a while.
April 20, 2007 - 2:27 pm
thanks for the reminders, Shannon. and contrary to what you think – I find all your posts interesting. You have a great perspective and I love your humor!
April 20, 2007 - 2:50 pm
Sheesh Shannon! Talk about serious wipage in the eyes and nose region! I am absolutely going to link you as my daily post in my blog. Everyone HAS to read this.
Hope you won’t mind.
Hope your day getts better! My prayers are for your friends. We have so so much to thankful for. Thankfully we have a very kind and loving Father in Heaven, who is watching over us all, especially on our “worst of days.”
Peace be with you and to all those who suffer. My heart goes out to them.
April 20, 2007 - 6:13 pm
You have a way with words.

Jen’s story is totally heartbreaking, as are the rest. I must admit that there are many a day that I come home and kiss and hug the little kiddos wondering how I got to be so blessed (and the next morning I wake-up y and ornry).
April 20, 2007 - 9:51 pm
This is the post I’m going to come back and read on a grumpy day to remind myself of the things I need to remind myself of. It’s all about perspective….
April 21, 2007 - 6:50 am
we’re having tests done for what my six year olds dr. thinks is a brain tumor and until reading jens story i’ve been able to shelf it until test results come back but now i am a blubbering mess and totally freaked out
thank you for the perspective. every day will look a little different now and i’ll just enjoy a “normal” life until the results come, no matter how frusterating normal can be.
April 21, 2007 - 8:18 am
good for you- thanks for putting my day in perspective as well- I will finish my cup of coffee and be more grateful for the noisy ones in my life all day today!

Well, after reading your touching post I am reminded just how lucky I am. Washing dishes and doing laundry is actually a blessing because it means that we had food in our house to dirty the dishes and we have clothes to wash! There are too many people in this world that don’t have those things for me to sit around griping and complaining. Thank you for the wake up call and reality check!
April 23, 2007 - 11:41 am
such a great post for today.
Thank you.
April 23, 2007 - 2:42 pm
Thanks, Shannon. This post really touched me. It is always sobering to hear of other’s struggles that far outweigh our own. I hope for brighter days for all those you mentioned.
April 24, 2007 - 9:15 pm
Bawling. I miss you so much!!
April 25, 2007 - 8:48 am
thank you for the dose of reality.

Sick. Seriously sick. That’s supposed to be sexy? Sick, sick, sick, sick, sick. Oh, and poor Shelby. That can’t be fun.

So, does she get braces on top of the expanders… or how does that work.
Braces suck, I wish I’d never had them, honestly — and I see my teeth slowly moving back to where they were.
April 19, 2007 - 7:27 am
dude
david was mad at me for like 3 days when he got his expander. and he drooled a tiny bit. alex was next to impossible to understand for the first week he had his. you’d thik with a mother with such a big mouth – my kids would have been ok. but they also go my HUGe teeth. i hope today is better for her.

poor thing. 
must check out that book . . . loved memoirs of a geisha . . . and amy tan books . . . sounds similar . . .
April 19, 2007 - 1:06 pm
Sounds like an interesting book, I’ll have to check it out. Getting a glimpse into other cultures fascinates me. And poor Shelby, we’ll be going through that soon enough with my nephew. He’s on track for expanders in the next few months

Loved that book and learning about the Chinese culture a bit. I can’t imagine.
