re: Super Secret Chat

Haha, you and I would probably make horrible partners then. We'd both be fighting for control. LOL.
It was so weird I logged onto gaga earlier and it was really slow. Well I just got back on after lunch and this wasn't on my topic replies anymore. I went to check if you'd replied and it wasn't there. So I had to come find it using the drop down menu. Weird. Hopefully it was just a glitch.
I hope you get your shot situation figured out pretty quick. School will be here before you know it! You don't have to get over vaccinated though.
I better go, I have a staff meeting in 4 minutes! I'll write more in a bit.

Sorry Sue!
I hate leaving you hanging like that all the time lately!

That Gaga photography thing is interesting...but I am just so skeptical about doing any competitions on Gaga...they always turn into popularity contests.
IDK...I wouldnt know which pictures to enter anyway

How was your day? I tried to study alot today.

Its a little late, but we wouldnt fight for control Sue...I am the type of person I would just give it to you...and then try and go behind you and fix your mistakes!...lol I like it when I get a group of people who just let me do all the work!

I still havent talked to my teacher!! She is in Aruba on vaycay.
Gaga is bad for me lately...everytime I try to get on its so slow I just give up!

Are you kidding me Ciara? Popularity contest or not, you'd blow anyone out of the water on this site with your photography. Any of your photos would win. I am so in love with your lastest Clone pictures on flickr. I love it so much. My favorite post is of course "most familiar" and "future." Your ideas are so brilliant. Maybe you shouldn't enter the gaga contest because you'd just embarass all your competition.  
Don't worry about leaving me hanging on gaga. Sometimes it's actually good to stay off this site for a while. It gives me a chance to get some real work done. My goal for the week at work is to get all my crap organized and filed away. So far I'm 80% there. I know I'll have it all nice and pretty by tomorrow.
Well today is orientation for Ryan! We're taking him to meet his teacher and see his classroom at 10 this morning. He's excited and I'm sad.  I know it's only preschool but it's really putting my stomach in knots. I don't want him to grow up! Anyhow, we have that this morning and then this evening at 6 Anthony and I have to go back and have a parent/teacher conference with his teacher. I feel sorry for her because I feel like I'm going to bombard her with questions and concerns. Like one inparticular.. who's going to help Ryan wipe his butt when he goes poo? Stuff like that.. lol
So what are you and your familia up to today? Are you still enjoying Norman's time off? When do you and him plan on going out? Did I miss you guys anniversary? If so Happy Belated! Haha

Cool new Avi!

IDK...I guess I could try it. What two should I put in?
I really love that picture from yesterday....it was fun, Luke got to be in it...lol. I like Fighter and Fiesty!...lol
Today is Tribute day in one of the groups...I already know who I will tribute...and someone tributed me! Awesome!


How was Ryan's orientation? I hope it went well and excited him more! Do you like his teacher?
I am sure you are nervous! I would be too...but it will be okay...they have to grow up, as sad as that is!
Lol @ who's gonna wipe his butt! Thats a good question...you may have to start teaching him how...I guess.

Everyone wanted to get out of the house for a bit, so we went to my SIL to let the boys play and then to my mom's where Gabe through a fit to stay with her...so she is going to meet us at wal-mart here in a little bit.
Tomorrow we are going out for our anniversary, its not actually till the 16th but Norman is working then. So we will have the night all to ourselves...I think we are just going out to dinner and stuff...I really didnt want to stay in a hotel, I am kinda creeped out by them, even though Norman loves them...I just want to sleep all night in my own bed!!

Oh how fun! I'm glad I didn't miss your anniversary. Wow so by next week Norman's 20 days will already be up? In a way those days kinda went by fast huh? I'm sure he's dreading returning to work after the nice break. I know Anthony is, he goes back tomorrow.
Orientation went really well. Ryan's teacher seems like a very sweet lady adn Ryan liked her right away. It was cute because there were about 3 other little kids there as well and he was meeting them all and calling him his friends. They are all so cute. That teacher is going to have her hands full this year!
You know, we've tried teaching Ryan how to wipe his butt but he gets so grossed out by it that he makes himself throw up. So I don't know what we're going to do about that. Eventually he's gonna have to learn. I dunno.
Hmm.. I wish you could post more than 2 pictures in that contest. These ones are all great:
crap it's not letting me copy and paste.. anyway, I'll just label them,
Shoot Ciara I have no idea. I am looking at some of your older pics and I can't decide on just 2. I love them all. I like the lakeside pic of you and the budlight bottle a lot. Hmm.. I dunno!!!
Oh I want to see the pic you were tributed in!

http://flickr.com/photos/cw4/2740975633/ The one I was tributed in...
http://www.flickr.com/photos/hammondsbabies/2664205063//The picture that was tributed.

Yeah they did go by pretty fast! It's crazy.
I'm glad Ryan enjoyed it...thats cute he was calling them his friends!
Thats funny that he gets so grossed out by it! One of my brothers cant change diapers because he will really start gagging and throw up.

The only thing that I am thinking Sue...is that my pictures arent so much photography (in the aspect that a lot of people think of photography) they are edited and played with...I think thats why I like Flickr...it is photography but there are so many artistic people who are open to creating rather than just shooting. (I hope that makes sense without sounding like some snob or something...lol)
I mean I have some photography...sunsets and flowers and such too, (I actually have a dragonfly and a boot one that made explore) but they just dont stand out as much (to me anyway)

I know what you mean. I guess that's why I love your pics so much. They're not just pictures of things there is more emotion in them. Like my favorite pic of yours of all time is that "Love and War" pic. It isn't like a pictures that has all sorts of nice angles, and lighting. But what it means was freaking brilliant. Because you're right, all is NOT fair in love and war. Those bleeding hearts were awesome. I loved it!
I hope the brother of yours that can't change diapers isn't the one that is about to have a baby. If so I feel sorry for his wife! I don't know what I'd do if Anthony wouldn't change diapers. You know when the kids are newborns and you have to change their diaper every hour or so. Anthony was always down for diaper duty.  
Hey isn't Luke's birthday coming up? And do you know when Adam's is?

Yeah...I just dont know how well they would do in a photography contest. Of course I have some pics that I barely edited...or didnt at all...but they still are more meaningful.
Love & War is one of my favorites...Norman wasnt to happy about me painting hearts on the garage wall...which also happens to be his workout room...lol

Actually it is one that is fixing to have a baby...but the older one that already has one, she just does it without him...idk...I wouldnt be happy about it if it was Norman! He is great about changing diapers!
Yeah Luke's is the 28th...Norman's is the 24th, and Adam's is the 13th I believe. Have you heard from her? I hope she is having a great time!

Good morning Ciara! Yay it's finally Friday. I'm so ready for the weekend. This has been a busy week for us but it's going to get even more busy once Ryan starts school next week.
The parent/teacher orientaiton last night went really well. I asked his teacher the important potty question and she told me that as long as we give them permission they do help them in the bathroom.   Yay! That's a big relief to me.
Are you getting excited for your big night out tonight? What do you have planned? Take it for all it's worth, you guys deserve it and you never know when you'll get another opportunity to have time to yourselves again. Who is watching the boys?

Goodmorning....oh...afternoon...lol
I just got home from school.

Things maybe getting busier but that may be nice...like how you will be able to do things during lunch. When Norman goes back to work things will be busier but nice...cause I will be able to get the things done that I need to...you know?

I'm glad you got things worked out with the teacher! Nice to know you wont have to worry!

I am eating a snack (cause I skipped lunch) and then I am going to get ready. We dont really have anything planned except going out to eat and then coming home and getting a good night of sleep without the boys!...lol...isnt that sad that we are most excited about sleeping all night?!....lol

SO I am thinking about making my newest flickr shot my myspace avi...what do you think?...lol

haha, I got a big laugh out of that one. I loved what your SIL commented it on it. Yeah, I'm sure Norman does wish that! It seems like Norman enjoys helping you with your photos just as much as you love taking them. That pic is really cute. Hey when one of your photos gets explored does it automatically get put in your "Bests" folder or do you manually update it? I always like to see which pics get explored. I'm sure this latest one will be.  
No you're not sad for looking most forward to a full nights sleep. I know when we went to TN that was one of the things we were excited most about too. I hope you're able to do that and your body doesn't wake itself up from habit.
So how does it feel being married for 5 years? Do you feel more love, less love, or the same for Norman? 5 years is pretty big milestone. With Anthony and I, I feel like making it to the 5 year mark was really big. It's kinda like, "okay we made it, we're really in it for the long haul." I mean I know when you get married you're supposed to be in it forever but it seems like doomed marriages rarely make it to 5 years. I don't know, I'm probably talking out of my ass right now.
Well you go out and enjoy yourself. Make sure Norman treats you like a queen!

Lol...yeah, he hates sitting still, so it wasnt as good as it should have been. I thought it was cute though. I just told him to deal with it then he can show all his friends....lol.

I manually put them in the explored folder. I think that it gets harder after a while, ever since I hit 25 it seems like they have to have more favorites and comments and stuff. like my Evil pic has 20favorites and 46 comments 150+ veiws, and it never got explored and my Follow the leader didnt get explored till it had 30+favorites...IDK.
It would make sense though...

I dont really think I feel any different. I guess I kinda know what you mean, but my parents made it to 10years...so I guess thats why its not as big for me...IDK...I mean it kinda is....idk....lol
my mind is lost...lol

haha yeah that's true. Ant's parents made it to 15 years and they still ended up divorcing. I was right, I was talking out of my ass. LOL
That sucks about it being more difficult for your pics to be explored now. I was wondering because you've been at 27 pics for a few days now and I was sure some of your real recent stuff would be explored by now. That sucks!
I am all caught up on work so I've been playing yahoo games all day. I'm sick of it already and i want to go home. It's so boring.
Where are you and Norman going to go eat at?

Hey I just wanted to drop in and say hey and I will try to catch up and stuff later...I just having a really frustraing week...
Dont think I'm being a jerk for not posting or anything.
