Pavlina: Life is Not For the Living

I think I either:

1. drank too much wine last night
2. Did not drink enough water yesterday

I woke up with a HUGE headache this morning. Ugh. After an ibuprofen tablet (I only had one at my desk so I need to make a run for more), a packet of oatmeal and half a cup of coffee later, I am beginning to feel a bit more human. What a way to start off the week, sigh.

So, we attempted to take some Christmas photo pictures yesterday. It was “The task of the weekend”. Well, what a ball. First we had to get the kids dressed in nicer clothes, so Emma had on her little kilt and button up shirt and Martin had on his horrifically expensive pants from the Osh Kosh outlet (that I had not quite noticed the price when I bought). We two adults also put on nice tops, and I put on some bright lipstick then we took something like 15 photos (obviously not enough)and not a single one turned out perfect. We got two nice ones, but they were blurry for some reason…then the others were as predicted, the kids all running around, or screaming, or picking their noses, etc. I tried taking a few of the kids by themselves but they didn’t want to sit next to each other and kept sliding apart. Then Emma wanted to sit on the chair so I got both chairs so we now have as the “best” photo this snap of the kids looking like mini American Gothic. Too funny.

Yes, I did use the timer and a tripod and I cannot figure out why those two came out blurry when the others were fine and I used the exact same setting for all the photos. I am not sure what we are going to do now. I really wanted to get the cards ordered this week to go out SOON. I don’t think I am strong enough to do this again.

On another note, I found this cool blog through the feed. It is about SAHM fashion, and she has some nice ideas that even us slovenly WOTHM can relate to.
