I guess I was considering giving it up all together. But, I was recently looking back at old entries and I was SO happy to see some of the old photos and quotes that I've posted here. I am happy to still have this place to use as a scrapbook of things I may or may not forget one day.<br />
<br />
I'm about to start my fall photo shoots for my preschool, so I decided to get used to my camera again. I upgraded last year, and I still don't truly understand the powers this thing holds. I am playing around with different AF options and B&W again. My topic of interest for now is our down time.<br />
So, here's my weekend series so far...<br />

Jill and I decided to go to the old, old Wizard of Oz "theme park" in the mountains. It was awesome. A crazy blast from the past and newly exciting all at the same time. Hailey went along, too. She and I were dying to get some cool photos with an old camera and a LensBaby Composer Lens. Fun!<br />

I have thought of a million things I'd like to write about in the last few months. New job, new attitude, new life, new kids....you name it. Much has changed around here. But, each time I think I have my topic chosen, there is NO time to actually do it. SO...today I am making some time.<br>
<br>
I started a new job this year. It has been unbelievably life changing for me. I am working one-on-one with a boy and his service dog. I never in a million years thought I would be an EC "shadow"/ assistant. I didn't think I had the patience, or the stamina, or even the desire. I was wrong! I know what I'm doing and I'm really good at it. (That realization alone has changed my whole attitude about life.) <br>
I am working in a classroom with two other certified teachers. The lead teacher was pregnant early in the year and took her 6 week maternity leave. During that time, the assistant (also certified) took over as lead and we had a substitute who filled in as assistant. Both lead teachers have had struggles in the lead position. Somehow, all of my experience and intuition started to kick in. A burning desire to take over has almost killed me a couple of times. BUT that is a really good thing. Because after years of praying and meditating on what it is that I'm actually supposed to do in this world, I am finally figuring it out. I am supposed to teach. I am supposed to lead. I know what I'm doing and I am good at it. <br>
WTF???<br>
I still can't believe I feel comfortable saying that. But after what seems like a million years of self-doubt, I finally know what I'm doing. All of these little parts of knowledge, spirituality, experience, desire, growth, love, passion and confidence are all falling into place.<br>
After a few conversations with the Director, I find myself teaching and planning more workshops, landing on the strategic planning committee, going to board meetings and planning like crazy to teach 4th grade next year. (I have also been asked to be on an Academic Excellence Committee with just the Director and a Founder. So honored.) <br>
I have worked harder than I have ever worked in my life. I am making less money that I have ever made (working full time) in my life. And even though some days are FILLED with stressful situations I can not control, I love where I am right now. LOVE IT. <br>
<br>
Oddly enough, while work has decreased my hours of availability to my kids, home life has never been better either. Weird. Just weird. Kids are all doing very well right now. All seem happy and relaxed most of the time. Things aren't perfect but the good and happy outweigh the yuck. I was able to do a mini photoshoot yesterday!!!!<br>

I wish I could be Daniel because God made it so the lions didn't hurt him. I wish I could be around any animals I want without getting hurt. That's my best dream.<br />
<br />
2/2/14<br />
S- I know who God sent to the world to protect us. <br />
Me- Who<br />
S- His Son.<br />
<br />
2/3/14<br />
S- I didn't get enough sleep last night because I had a meeting with God and then I prayed.<br />
Me- How did your meeting with God go?<br />
S- Good! I talked about things that I want and things that I need. <br />
Me- Oh yeah?<br />
S- Yeah. I told him that I wished he didn't make college. That kids should just stay in high school. And, that I wished he made every day the weekend. You know, like summer. <br />
<br />
<br />
Stella and God are pret-ty tight these days. <br />

This is kind of how I feel right now. I think I'm getting sick. Anyway, I realize I have a lot of catching up to do. I'm hoping to find some writing time during this holiday season. Maybe. <br />
<br />
I have been playing around with my camera again. Lynn has inspired me to try some new stuff. Only instead of doing the new stuff with film (like she is) I'm choosing the cheaper and more convenient digital route. <br />
<br />
I used saran wrap today. Wrapped it around my fixed 50 and started shooting. There was only one small spot in the center for catching a clear spot. I'm going to have fun with it when someone is in a better mood. I love how it blurs random parts on the sides. But ^ she wasn't having it today. Though she was intrigued for a quick second, she got irritated very quickly and I only got 3 shots. But this was one of them. And I can't help but love it. suzycmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05412270553634903146noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7890346509574554669.post-25275117465833251742013-08-08T14:30:00.001-04:002013-08-08T14:30:02.598-04:00Beautiful GirlI have to sneak photos in whenever I can.

Exactly one month past Hailey's 18th birthday. I feel both sad and ashamed that I didn't do an appropriate birthday post for her. I can only hope to make up for it in the Spring when I do a dedication post in honor of her upcoming graduation. I've already started working on that one...so HOPEFULLY it will be ready in plenty of time.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-NGu_QROyC34/UTDENQlztXI/AAAAAAAABI0/ahdKO2H__Vs/s1600/183679_10152034574340594_1195771240_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-NGu_QROyC34/UTDENQlztXI/AAAAAAAABI0/ahdKO2H__Vs/s320/183679_10152034574340594_1195771240_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
In the meantime, I have to say that this has been the most difficult birthday for me yet! I am really an emotional wreck about it. It's both so exciting and so upsetting all at the same time!! It's not upsetting because I'm old enough to have an 18 year old. I'm actually kinda proud of that...wrinkles and all. And I'm so proud of the fact that I raised one up to reach 18 without going completely crazy or shipping her off to boarding school! <br />
It's the fact that she's driving everywhere and independent and LEAVING HOME SOON. <br />
It's the fact that she doesn't reallllly need me anymore.<br />
<br />
<br />
I really hope I can yoga my way through this one because as of right now, I can't think about it without crying. Seriously. I'm fine when she's around. Fine to talk about it with other people. But if I'm alone and happen to think about it...I lose it. <br />
<br />
And I just can't help but think...This is the one kid that has ALWAYS liked me!!! (ok there's still hope for Stell) Always wanted to be around me. Always trusted what I have to say. (That's not all totally true..haha...she had her tween moments like most kids do.)<br />
She has grown into my little piece of calm in our ocean of stress. She's a rock. She's an achor.<br />
<br />
She's my big ole first born baby.<br />
<br />
I honest to God don't know what I'm gonna do without having her around everyday. <br />
<br />
<br />
On the flip side....She's ready. She's smart, beautiful, independent, confident and READY to fly. <br />
Pretty soon that little bird will flap on out of here. In the meantime, I'm going to pray, meditate, do yoga, cry in the shower...whatever I have to do to help her take off successfully!! OMmmmm<br />
