Yes! I got all concentrated on the technical angles and things I forgot how gorgeous the forest is. I love the fuck you shot! And I love where the curve of your brows fall in that one. I'd use a pencil to make the line on the outside edge just a bit denser and longer, and leave the peak and the curve underneath as it is.

Aww, y'all are good for the ego, especially when I came looking for advice to fix me!

(how do you shoot a .... OH)

I watched E's swim meet. He did really well and in one event he was one of the younger swimmers.

I'm also realizing how dysfunctional my family is.

And if I could get health ~ma for my Dad. He had tests run on his thyroid and there is a growth that may or may not be cancer. Also he's been falling asleep a lot during the day and we are encouraging him to have a sleep study but he doesn't see the need. The big fear is that he'll fall asleep at the wheel.

Much health~ma for your dad, askye. If he's having thyroid problems, fixing them might help the day sleeping.

I hope so but we're eaiting to find out.

I procrastinated and lost the sticky note with the starter user name password for my new bank. I had it in my wallet but either it fell out or I tossed it forgetting what it was. I'm going to go look in the car. Otherwise I have to go to the bank on Monday and ask for that again. I feel stupid.

Health~ma for your dad, askye.

I have to share a parenting win moment, since I share so many of the fail moments.

My #2 son played designated driver for us going to my SIL's birthday party. The overwhelming majority of the party attendees were 40 somethings since she was celebrating her 40th and it was mostly her friends. My BIL was sitting with me and we were observing Bobby interact with the crowd. Hugs for the many people he already knew, then he was hanging out with a couple twice his age talking for quite a long time, then he took off with a group of the kids because one of the kids was 16 and learning to drive stick and Bobby's car is manual. It was lovely to see him so completely comfortable and sociable with youngsters, strangers, older adults, effortlessly moving from group to group. Everyone loves him. Really made me feel good.

Askye, ~ma for your dad.

Laura, that's wonderful.

ltc is 5 months old today! How is time moving so fast?

I have managed to get beans in the crock pot today, and, in theory they will get turned into chili for tonight's dinner. I'm still terrible about getting things done that don't directly involve ltc. I also have friends coming by at noonish, and they're bringing lunch.

Tea:

I am dressed before my company arrives and ltc is sleeping. SAHM win!

Well done mama!
