Blog Shmog

It's been quite a while and I have a lot of blogging to catch up on, but seriously, who can blog at a time like this? The economy is melting, the election is two weeks from tomorrow, and the last time I looked my 401K was down 34% and that was a couple weeks ago. After that I decided to stop looking for a while, luckily I have another 30+ years before I can retire anyway.

So to catching up, Niall started a new co-op preschool this fall. He goes two mornings a week, and Jude is the preschool parent this year. He goes with Niall one day a week and works in the classroom, and I drop him off on the other day. Last week was the first time I actually left him and he did great! At first when I told him that I would be leaving he decided he didn't even want to go to preschool, but when we got there of course he started having fun and his buddy parent was there to help him. So he kissed me goodbye and off I went for an hour of worrying about how he was doing. I swear this was much more difficult for me than it was for him, which is probably a good thing.

Photography has been keeping me super-busy this fall, and I'll be posting some pictures from a recent session later this week. I've had several sessions in the last two weeks and I'm swamped with post-processing work now, but with so much practice I'm getting much faster so I'm not worried.

I did have to slow down a bit a few weeks ago when I strained my neck. I woke up one day and it was a bit sore, and it stayed sore all day. The next day I woke up and could hardly move. I went straight to the doctor and spent the next week on painkillers, muscle relaxers, and anti-inflamatories. Just when I was starting to think it would never get better, it did. Now I'm back in action and hopefully that will never, ever happen again.

On Saturday night I got together with some of my mommy friends for an evening out. It was so much fun! We used to hang out nearly every weekend, and now with kids and everything else we don't see nearly enough of each other. It was great to spend an evening catcing up with friends and yummy food, and it was extra nice because I'd just been out on Thursday night with some other good friends that I don't see nearly enough of. I think Jude might be the best husband in the world for letting me go out twice in one week! Honey, you're the best and I owe you big time!
