Stuffing...

I bet you are curious as to why I named this particular post Stuffing.  I named it stuffing because my mother made stuffing, turkey, rice, peas, corn, and bread rolls for dinner this evening.  It was DELICIOUS!  My mother makes THE worlds best stuffing.  It is just incredible.

Okay, well here is my random thought of the day.  I was sitting on my computer this evening, working on some photos when out loud I repeated "Damn I am getting good at what I do".  My immediate thought was "Oh my gosh.  God is either going to strike me with lightning, or, take all my photography "skills" away!".  Crazy?  I'm not so sure.  If I get arrogant is he going to take it all so that I fall on my face and flop as a photographer?  Okay.  Guess what just happened.  Not only did lightning strike RIGHT outside our window.  The thunder LITERALLY shook our walls.  Okay that's it, I'm freaked.  No more inner monologues with God tonight.

 Watched a movie with my husband this evening.  It was awful.  We rented it On Demand ($6.99 which is expensive for a movie that disappointed).  We kept watching hoping it would either redeem itself, or give us closure, but let's just say neither worked out.  No closure.  No redeeming qualities.  Just a whole lot of nude scenes that we were frantically forwarding and embarrassed through.  So yes, bummer, bummer, bummer.

My son had an awful day.  He was just hysterical all day long.  I'm confident it was due to my lack of mothering last night, but it is still awful.  I felt so bad.  We were feeding him often, and trying to soothe him but really, he just needs some peace and quiet, and a nice long rest.  He also has a pretty bad cold.  So tie that down with an overtired child, and you've got a really really miserable little human.  I love him so much though. Even when he's hysterical, he is truly the cutest kid I have ever seen.

Here is my beautiful son who is absolutely falling apart.  Poor darling.  But as I stated previously, still absolutely adorable.

Attempted a photo shoot with my whole family.  let's just say it didn't work as well as I'd hoped.  The positive thing, we got some cool photos.  Beautiful ones of my mother and father.  As well as some of my siblings.  Of course my sister who is also a model was feeling very inconvenienced by the whole getting a photo with me.  I just gave up on that one altogether.  If it's just her?  No problem.  The other kids? No problem.  But once I wanted some?  It was all over.  But I got some GREAT photos of my siblings as well.  My two sisters are incredibly beautiful.  So beautiful that it even throws girls off their game.  My parents are of the few couples who can truly say they were the PERFECT genetic match.  They made beautiful beautiful successful children.

My extraordinarily funny and wonderful parents.

Taking photos of my parents was SO fun and SO SO funny!  My dad is absolutely hysterical.  My mom is so fun, and put them together and you've got a whole act.  All they need is the microphone!

Okay so my husband is truly incredible.  He is inspirational in his calm quiet strength.  I entered into interesting conversation with a Christian astrologist around a year ago.  It was on a walk with a friend that she ended up joining.  I happened to be talking about my marriage with my friend when she started asking about my husbands birthday and different things.  She started to tell me profoundly true things about my husband.  About his quiet courage and strength.  He is loyal to a fault.  It is certainly a perk that he is Hollywood handsome!  I got so lucky!  She began telling me about how important it was that I support him in all that he does.  He was born to change this world.  To help others.  And by making him spend to much time or energy on me I am really just doing everyone a disservice.  She also said that he would give and give until he had less than nothing.  She said that it was especially important that he have me to draw on when he needs energy.  That he be able to come to me for comfort, quiet, and peace.  I will always try to do this.  But I have a wicked temper, and a less than quiet attitude.  I happen to be a brat often.  So this is one of those things I will always have to work on.  But that's a little peak at my husbands soul.  Kind, generous, thoughtful, selfless, and helpful in every way.

So all in all, had a successful, full first day of the year.  I feel that I've done a fairly good job with one of my new years resolutions.   That if you recall would be posting every night.  And here is I come to the end of my evening at 12:54am Sunday morning.  Goodnight.  Hope you had as good a day as I did.
