So Easily Distracted

July?! Really, it's already July? It's crazy how fast time can go whether you're having fun or not. Good news is there has been some fun around here. I keep writing posts in my head at 1 or 2am when I can't sleep but they never seem to make it here onto my blog. I wake up and forget everything I had 'written' down, it's frustrating. Especially when I've been funny or witty or deep, ha! The kids and the noise and the husband have somewhat suppressed my desire, my creativity and most definitely my time for blogging. I hit an all time low of only 3 posts in June. I've got to get back on track! Right now I should be doing something else but I'm not. I'm soooooo easily distracted.

This joke pretty much sums up how easily I can get off track.

Person 1- 'How many ADD kids does it take to change a light bulb?'
Person 2- 'I don't know, how many?'
Person 1 (excited voice)- 'Wanna go ride bikes?'

It's that easy! A few of the latest distractions.

The other night the kids had grilled hot dogs for dinner and I was making Milo and I chicken on the stove. I hadn't decided what I was going to make, chicken salad, chicken burgers of some sort. Both us didn't care what we ate as long as it wasn't another hot dog. I had the pan on low, low heat cooking it slow while Milo was doing yard work I was cleaning up after the kids. Milo came in to get me to show me this huge cluster of flowers on our rose bush. The crazy thing is that there were 3 or 4 clusters like it on the whole plant. It was so pretty. I wish I would have counted the blooms because each cluster seemed like it was full of almost 100 flowers.

So I run back in, grab my camera and completely forget about dinner. I stayed out there long enough to annoy Milo (he wanted to water right there) and take 25+ photos. As I was walking back up to the house, I thought of dinner and knew it wasn't going to be good.

I found two chicken breasts smoking like crazy on the stove. They don't look too charred in the photo but they tasted like burnt rubber and we ended up eating hot dogs after all. Classic example of me losing all train of thought, ugh!

Another distraction..... Shaila and I went out with our cameras one night, I was wanting her help with a few things as I was getting ready to take photos for a wedding. I'm no professional and she knows our camera much better than I do.

She ended up being my model and I love every photo I took of her. She's beautiful, simply beautiful. I love how natural and relaxed she is in every one I took. Thanks for the help Lou, I was in desperate need of getting out that night. Tired, hormonal and stressed out are not good combos for me and I came home in a much better mood.

I took photos for the wedding last Friday and I had such a good time. Sara was sweet enough to ask (knowing my skills are limited) and Shaila willingly came with me. It was a good combo, together we got some great photos. Sara was gorgeous, happy and so in love. I think about that sweet, 'young love' every time I work on these photos, they were adorable together! I remember young love but it feels like forever ago in 9 short years.

Right now I'm avoiding getting this family ready to go camping this weekend. I've been really excited about going until noon today. The work required to get out of here, the sheer amount of things that need to be packed, it's overwhelming. I'm just hoping we can get there without too many meltdowns (most likely from me). Please, no more distractions!
