At this moment.....

Listening .....
Amanda wash the dishes.
Wearing.....
Still my work clothes, and slippers.
Eating......
ooey gooey too sweet chocolate dessert I made. 
Wanting.....
to take a hot shower and go to bed. 
Needing.....
to do more laundry.
Thinking.....
what to do this weekend.


This is where I am at .....
at this moment.

My mom was doing some deep cleaning
yesterday.
She brought over a few of my things. 
They became my photo for the day.
My Raggedy Ann and Andy dolls.
January 10
 
Then today......
was taken by Kimmy.
A photo of me.

Manic Monday

Yep. 
That was today.
Girls went back to school.
Had to teach some classes today.
Do not know what happened to the rest of the day.
Do you ever have days like that?
Weekend was great.
Still adjusting to working a real schedule.
I have been consistent(my OLW 2012).
In making my girls do their chores.
In getting the house in order.
In my Capture my 365.
In my scrapping. 
Finished another layout.
Have my whole first week of CM365 done.
Printed.
Journaled.
In the album.
Here is the last few days.
Took the weekend off from the computer.

I need to learn to slow down.
When I am taking my pictures. 
I know the girls do not always want to have a photo taken.
So I try to hurry.
But I am getting blurry images. 
I need to slow down. 
They will enjoy the extra second some day.

Day 5.......

Tired.
 Kids need to go back to school.
SOON!
Week almost over. 
Picture for today.
Hubby paying Bejeweled. 
His favorite thing to do,
on a quiet evening at home.
No scrapping for me tonight.
Laundry won out.

In my blog surfing today.
Found the perfect quote.

I even put it on a sticky note on my computer. 
 
 
“In the ordinary moments of our lives is really where we can find the most joy.” Brene Brown

Happy Hump Day...

Woke to an icy day. 
20 degrees. 
In Florida.
My little piggys have been chillly all day.
The day came and almost went and I still did not have a picture for today.
Nothing was inspiring me. 
I took a long hot bath.
I walked out to find one daughter making homemade chocolate kisses.
The other all wrapped up in a blanket with hot coccoa.
Watching her favorite movie/musical.
Mama Mia!----
Inspiration and opportunity was all around.
I took 42 pictures.
Thats what we photogs do.
Right????
I decided on one that may not show exactly what was happening.
But her personality is shining. 

January 4
How are you doing on your 365?
Have you started? 
Are you behind? 
Do you already feel overwhelmed?
Relax. 
Breathe.
And take a photo. 
You can start anytime you want.
Every photo captures a moment....
A moment that only happens once.
A photo does not have to be perfect,
to be wonderful.
My photo for today is far from even good.
But to me it is...fabulous.
It captures a moment in her life. 
A little bit of who she is.
It shows our real life.
This is why I am doing Capture my 365/Project Life.

Happy New Year!

It has been a nice calm day.
Went grocery shopping.
Made a nice pot of beef stew. 
Scrapped 2 pages. 
Yes!
I scrapped.
For the first time in months.
Was going to upload.
Then realized I have a new printer and computer.
I have not uploaded the programs I need yet. 
Maybe after work tomorrow.
I did take my 1st picture of the year. 
The first for my capture my 365.
I wanted a family photo.
But family would not cooperate.
I did manage a photo of Amanda.
A normal teen. In her favorite place. 
On the computer.
With her headphones on.
Listening to music.
Maybe another day I will get the family shot. 
Just Maybe!
But in the meantime. 
Here is my day 1.
It may not be the way I wanted it to be. 
But atleast I started. 
And I have to remember each shot will not be perfect. 
The process will not be perfect. 
But, I will still continue. 
I have to learn that everything does not have to be perfect.
