Life has been kind to me in many ways over the last few years. My business had grown from strength to strength - <a href="http://www.popphotography.ca/">Family Photographer</a> I have met new clients, continued to serve regular clients - it's been fabulous.<br />
<br />
<br />
Through the many years, I've grown as a person, ha, yes, I've put on a bit of weight. This morning was my 1st day back at the gym since September 2016. I really did try to enjoy it, but unfortunately, it wasn't coffee, wine or chips.<br />
Why can't I be one of those fabulous people who loves and dies by the gym? Today I did my arms, biceps/triceps/shoulders, tomorrow I am hoping to be 30lbs smaller - one can only hope.<br />
<br />
Small steps-small steps.<br />
<br />
chips.<br />
<br />
wine.<br />
<br />

Moms with non sleepers don't hate me...I thought that when she awoke this morning that lambs, rainbows and birds would be following down the stairs. THIS did NOT happen...How can you have this much sleep and be so grumpy?<br />
She dressed herself three different times this morning, nothing she wore was good enough. She was looking for the perfect ensemble to represent her true being. The pink shirt with hearts didn't quite cut it.<br />
When I asked what she would like for breakfast, her response was "NO"... Perhaps it was the way I said it, I rephrased the question, her response was "NO" and then a floor tantrum. My thought for today is, where is the wine??!?!<br />

Jobs that have been soul destroying. About 2 years ago my wonderful husband purchased me my 1st DSLR. It was a Canon Rebel T3, it was love at 1st sight.<br />
Chocolate brown in colour with the 18-55 kit lens, I was on top of the world. Taking a million pictures a day.<br />
I then started to go to school to help with my growth as a person who takes pictures... I learned lots of cool stuff, including how to use aperture and shutter speed and ISO. I am on my 3rd class now, the Studio Lighting Class and I am totally pumped to learn new stuff.<br />
I took many pictures of friends and their kids and babies, each better than the last. Hoping that I continue to grow and become an excellent photographer in time.<br />
I am busy as a bee these days taking pictures for people and I hope it never stops.<br />

I should have went back as soon as I realized and paid the money shouldn't I??<br />
This would have been the correct and moral thing to do.... But I didn't...<br />
Husband came to the conclusion that Sobeys are overpriced and that they deserve it...<br />
Case Closed huh?<br />
I still think of it when I roast those potatoes in my oven. The potatoes kind of sound like they're singing - Thief thief thief .<br />
BUT, I must admit feels nice to get something free every once in a while even if I will go to hell for being a terrible person. ;)<br />

How wonderful to even utter those words, to know that Monday-Friday they are learning something new....while I get a break from my oldest 2 children fighting.<br />
It IS the most wonderful time of the year....for parents that is!<br />
<br />
Sean said his 1st day was rubbish and that he would prefer to stay home to look after his little sea monkies.<br />
Nicholas said his 1st day was rubbish.<br />
Gracie loved her 1st day.... she cried as she went into the class, but is so excited every morning for Kindergarten!<br />
<br />
Anyhow................<br />
<br />
some pictures below of my 2 girls.... just because!!!!<br />

I was wowed at how they loved the camera, and were willing to be goofy. I am sure going to try and remember this positive time when they're having meltdowns about me not allowing them a 3rd freezie, or letting them paint their lips with nail polish, or that they HATE home made shepherds pie, because it tastes like worms!<br />

Counting down the months till the time I can wear shorts and sandles. BBQ and wine on the decking, kids playing in the paddling pool. Looking at the blue sky as I enjoy the heat of the soothing sun.<br />
BUT, did I not just utter the ultimately worst words you can after many months of snow and minus 30 conditions???<br />
"It's too hot"!!<br />
Shut your mouth Maggie.......Never repeat those disgusting words again!<br />

<br />
I have very limited cooking skills, and find it difficult to cook something awesome everyday. My speciality is a Sunday roast, which after 16 years of cooking I am quite good at.<br />
Now though, I have found a way to make it even more awesome...... By getting free child labour....My own kids no doubt...<br />

Harlow is the potato selector. She's very efficient and a great quality control person, she takes a bite out of the raw potato and spits it on the floor to make sure they are worth peeling.<br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px;">As you know, I'm a mum of 4 so I have experienced a few toddler tantrums in my time. But, over the last few weeks I have been pushed to the brink of insanity by Harlow, my cute and vivacious 2 year old. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px;">I don't quite remember my other kids being such hard work in their 'toddlerhood' I am sure it was just my own body/minds defence mechanism...</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px;">Tantrum number 1: Popcorn must be served upon waking, </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px;">Tantrum number </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px;">2: a drink of milk should be presented at every possible moment. </span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px;">4. after I take shoes off said feet, I DEMAND that they shall be put on my feet again for them to be taken off again, it's a game I enjoy!! </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px;">5. I WANT to peel carrots with a sharp knife.....I DEMAND it.... I will scream for almost an hour if I cannot use a sharp knife to peel those carrots. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px;">6. my Blankie must be placed upon my torso the correct way, so I don't despise every morsel of your being......</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px;">7. A movie shall be placed into the dvd player of my choosing, I cannot vocalise what dvd this will be, I shall keep screaming and crying until the correct one has been chosen.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px;">8. I am very cute, you shall tell me this frequently whilst feeding me candy.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px;">9. I don't like to have my teeth brushed, I shall close my mouth before you try and clean my teeth. Wrap me in a towel you may, trying to get the better of me whilst making sure I have zero cavities but I shall get you back later with a vengeance by crapping my diaper the moment you place me in bed to sleep.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px;">10. Waking up at sometimes 530am, the television will be put on, popcorn shall be made, milk will be warmed, a yogurt on the side table, in between while I am watching baby tv and looking at my toes I want you to read a book. If you do not live up to this challenge I will still love you, just I will cry whine and behave.....well....like a toddler!!</span><br />

Oh no, I think they needs polishing I think to myself, so I whip out a rag and some rubbing alcohol and begin to buff them up....Yeah, I buff èm up good, they look so shiny now. I am so happy with my work, I crack open a can of coke and tear off the wrapper to the kit kat, looking at the bar of chocolate with lustful eyes, I love 4 fingers of chocolate, so delicious.<br />
After I have finished my snack I go to slip my husbands dirty undies into the washing basket as he has not quite got the hang of throwing them in the laundry hamper...... That`s ok though, after I do the laundry I`ll sit down and watch some t.v. for a couple of hours whilst eating crisps and left over food from the kids plates.<br />
When my husband arrives home, I hungrily look at his package, in anticipation....Yes, he has brought a take out home....No cooking for me tonight....booo yah.....<br />

<br />
I would have to agree, the whole flight with a 13 year old, 8 and 4 and 19 month old was agonising.<br />
8 and a half hours of toddler/pre schooler/brothers fighting--- mayhem....<br />
<br />
Harlow kicking the seat in front, reaching through the seat to pinch the persons arm sitting there. The man sitting in the seat in front getting so angry, gets up and gives us 'the look'.... Sean saying continuously, LOUDLY, upon take off and landing, we're gonna crash, we're gonna crash tee hee.... Then Gracie copying to my shear annoyance....arrrggghhh<br />
<br />
Coming through customs at Manchester Airport, waiting in line for 45 minutes with a tirrreedd toddler, and fighting brothers and a whiny pre schooler, to be told we're in the wrong queue we'll have to join the other queue..... Faking some pathetic crocodile tears to be put to the front of the other queue.....PRICELESS.<br />
<br />
Then coming through to the luggage carousel in Manchester where you have to PAY 1 pound ($1.60 ish) to use their carts for your suitcases.... Pushing a stroller, carrying a backpack, pulling a suitcase while recruiting the kids to help with the rest of the luggage of torture.....NIGHTMARE.....<br />
<br />
Next time I have a bright idea to travel ALONE to the U.K. with 4 kids I will eat a chocolate bar and drink a glass of wine instead.<br />
<br />
Add 2 hours each end onto your international flight and there you have 12 hours or torture. Although an experience, I can honesty say, never again.<br />
<br />
Just thought I would like to get that off my chest.... :)<br />

Then I count myself even luckier when I have 2 children who nap for 3 hours or longer in the day, which allows me a cup of coffee and to get a few jobs done.... haha Jobs as in, watching a bit of T.V. and maybe looking through a magazine.....bliss.<br />
As I type this blog, I have 1 little girl fast a sleep and another well on her way.... I am giddy at being able to drink my coffee in peace.<br />

My response, drinking a glass of wine whilst watching a decent movie then retiring to bed at a reasonable hour. NOW, hooooolllllld on....... When the heck did I become so boring??? I remember wanting nothing more than to drink drink drink, go to a club, drink some more..... puke, dance then get a taxi home somewhere around 2am ahhh those were the days, young and carefree.<br />
I can't even think about doing that these days, I start to yawn if I envision myself staying up longer than 1030. I can just see it, another couple of years I'll be taking regular naps after supper.<br />
<br />
I may be boring, and getting on a bit......... yes, well I guess that wraps that up!!<br />
