I am back





 That was rough I feel like I have been  underground for the past few weeks. This working thing has totally thrown me for a loop. However I will say it has been so fun watching my husband scamper around when I get home trying to act like he has been busy all day. In my training class at work the first week it was totally and adjustment. Everyday they fired someone in my training group. Not to mention 30% of the people in my group were just released from some form of a correctional facility.  I didn't think I was going to make it. I called home a few times to see if I could just come back home a start again tomorrow (no luck). I was sure that by day three we would be making shivs or tattooing each other with Indian ink and a needle (I speak from experience). With each day it got better (thank god). Now I am almost 4 weeks in, and I guess, I like it.  I still have to make dinner :( apparently somethings never change, still have to make sure bills get paid. How ever house work is low on my list (to be honest, it kind of always has been, shh don't tell).
      It's been kind of nice getting back in to the working world,  I do miss my afternoon naps. On the whole it has been great for my family ( going back to work) less stress at home. Maybe we will take a vacation together at the end of summer. That's something we have not done for a few years. So I guess what I am saying is it's not too bad.
      Little league is almost over hopefully I can make it through the season with out too much drama. I took these pictures last week and I just thought I would share them. I posted these mainly to remind me that this is what it's all about. Getting back into the game and learning how to play, relax and have fun and maybe you'll win a few, and if not at least you got to play with your friends :)

Going back to work Rant


So tomorrow marks a first for me,  I am going back to work and really not too excited about it. I started working  over 20 ears ago I stopped briefly when my son was born but was back at it with two years. I stopped working again 3 years ago and had become very comfortable being a homemaker. But try as I might this recession has put a stop to my homemaking dreams. I felt that if both parents worked full time who would be the parents full time?  Who's going to make dinner? Who's going make sure we don't run out of band-Aids? Or make sure everyone has clean socks? Who is going to make sure all the bills get paid?  small things I know, However These things used to be my responsibility. I think I will pretend I am my husband for the first two weeks. This is what I am most excited about, here my plan. When I get home I will Let everyone know I have worked very hard  and just need a few minutes of quiet, oh and what's for dinner? then I will plop myself on the couch, flip the TV on a put something so totally not appropriate for a 7 year old on and then wait to be called for dinner and my hot plate of food with all my extra things like a big drink, hot sauce and anything else I can think of just as my husband starts to sit down. I know us women are supposed to be happy about this whole equal roll crap. I don't like it. I enjoy not rushing around for everything all the time. I will be reporting back soon as head into the trenches of my dual roll of professional working mom and wonder woman, because apparently that's what it takes to do both.

First time blogging





 I am just going to say what I am thinking or wondering and hope that someone may find it interesting. There has a lot going on here over the past few days and I am thinking I should share the experience. Over the past few years I have found a new passion for taking pictures of whatever interests me. I have been fortunate enough to have some extreemly talented photographers around me or in my inner circle. I ask them questions about everything that has to do with  the camera. What kind to get which are best. How do you use it once you get it home. What do you like to shoot  or any other tips they may have. I have found a subject that for some reason always seems to be around, My subject is daly life and the little moments that make it special. I will post these moments soon with stories about them and what was going on. This is just the start so wish me luck.
