Busy day today. We were supposed to walk this morning, but at 8:10 I was just waking up, and the boys were still sleeping. If we walk we have to leave by 8:25, so that wasn’t happening today. It’s impossible for us to all get ready that quickly. I went to bed late working on the craft we were doing for mutual tonight, so that’s why I didn’t get up when my alarm went off. My New Year’s Resolution to be in bed by 11 is the only one I’m failing at so far. I just hate going to bed when the house is quiet and I can be alone to do absolutely nothing. Anyway, after taking Easton to school Jaedyn arrived, and I got started on cleaning the bathrooms. I don’t like bathroom day. I wish for 2 fewer bathrooms on bathroom day. We were going to go to Story Time with Savannah this morning, but the class we actually want to go to meets on Wednesdays, so that is just a better day since I don’t have to clean bathrooms that morning. Plus, Asher was sick so Savannah bailed. I was glad she did because then I didn’t have to go. After I finished cleaning the bathrooms and getting ready we headed to pick Easton up and then to Sadie’s house to play for a few hours. The kids had fun seeing Sadie Face, and she and Teagan were just delighted to finally be able to be friends again. She showed off all her new Christmas toys to the kids. It is just good to not see her like she was at the hospital. We stayed there for a few hours so the kids hang out and play with each other. Around 3:30 we headed back home so that I could get dinner started before leaving for mutual. I had to leave early to get a couple of things I had forgotten at Michael’s before I headed to mutual. We made this cute little wood plaque with my favorite quote about happiness. I am just loving this quote lately. I’ll post a picture of it tomorrow. When I got home from mutual my house was spotless and my boys were happy. My husband is always so good to have the house all picked up and the boys bathed and ready for bed. I appreciate all that he does when he gets home from work so that it’s not just me taking care of the boys from morning until night.
On another note, one of my resolutions for this year was to grow my photography business. As I was talking to my husband last night, he commented, “I never know if you love or hate photography. What do you want out of it?” But I never know if I love or hate photography either. Some days I just want to shoot all the things that I want to shoot and never shoot another paid session or event again. Other times I shoot something for money and think that the money is nice. I suppose if we had all the money in the world I would be content to find people or couples or weddings that I wanted to shoot, and I’d do it for no money just because I loved it. Like I did when I first started doing photography when I was 15 and shooting with my little ol’ fully manual film camera. I don’t think I actually like shooting events like weddings because I don’t like dealing with all the families and bridal parties. But I love shooting couples. I like being with a couple that I want to shoot and not that I HAVE to shoot. So I don’t know what I want out of photography either. I don’t know if I love it or hate or just semi-like it. Sometimes I think I’d be fine if I never booked another client again, but then other times it makes me sad to think about that. Maybe this year will help me decide.
