Long car rides

So we are almost home from our 2nd trip to Philly in 3 weeks. I've come to the realization that I don't know how as a child I survived long car trips. First, I think I have an adult onset of ADD. Sitting in the car for 11 hours is dreadful for me. After about hour 2 I feel myself starting to wonder if ill get through the rest of the trip. But thankfully I have my kids to help with that since I have to turn around to start movies, pick up toys, and get food/drinks out. I will say that the boys are GREAT travelers-thank god for their portable DVD player and their 'guys'. :) thankfully we are almost home and we won't be taking another long trip til March...to Philly! :)

Ugh...I'm not a social mom...

Ok so I'm sitting at Mason's gymnastics class and realizing that I'm really not like any of these moms. Granted we are in Centerville which is a little yuppie city (yes I did grow up here) so most of the moms sitting here are loaded. These moms are chatting about how her husband owns this company and then owns that and blah blah blah. Then one mom talked about her house and that it was too big for her one cleaning lady to clean so she has to hire another. Gag. And then there is this weird lady who tries to talk to everyone and makes random comments. Example-she just busted into these two womens' conversation and said "Hey guess where I went yesterday? I went to see Rachael Ray." And then she continued on for about 5 minutes about how her daughter loves Rachael Ray. Ooookkkk....weirdo. So now they are on a Wii conversation and arguing about how much it costs and if you need a yoga mat for the Wii Fit. I dare to interject to tell them they are both wrong since I don't want to be roped into the conversation. Oh boy! And Mason's class is an hour...can't wait to hear more. :)

Dreams

During the holidays, sometimes I get to thinking about the what if's. Like what if I had a million dollars, etc, etc. But one of my major what if's is 'what if I started my own photography studio?'

My HUGE dream for myself is to one day have my own photography studio...I just LOVE taking pictures of children, familes and mainly just people. I would love to just focus on kids b/c I just love capturing their cute little expressions without them knowing it! I've posted some pictures I took of my friends little girls...I had the best time and it was my first experience with a studio like setting (even though I was just in her family room). It went great! I take pictures of my kids all the time and try to snap pictures whenever possible. Whenever there is a family gathering, you will always see me snapping away. It's great and I just LOVE IT!! So why is it so hard to follow your dreams?!
