Almost a month...

Wow it's been almost a month since my last post. No good reason, just too tired to do it in the evenings after getting the kids to bed. It's 2:30 right now so maybe I should try for the afternoon to blog.

My timeline says "Happy Birthday" for Cameron today but it was actually yesterday. I did try to blog yesterday because I thought it would seem like I was a really crappy mom not to even acknowledge my baby's 2nd birthday. But when I sat down to upload photos from the mini birthday we had recently with Grandy and Aunt Cathy...aarrggh!!! There were no photos on my camera. 125 photos were gone...disappeared. I tried not to scream. I convinced myself that I had already uploaded them and just put them in the wrong folder somewhere. NOPE!! Then I remembered that Tim took the kids to the office last week and needed the camera to take some pictures. HE DID IT!!!!! It's always his fault. NOPE! Sorry honey. He said he let Abbie take some pictures so I asked her about it. I was happy that she fessed up and did not try to lie about it at all, which she tends to do these days. She had taken some pictures of Cooper and wanted to erase them and accidently hit erase ALL. I had no idea she even knew how to do that. She's 7 1/2. I wanted to spank her but I don't spank anymore. So I just yelled and I later felt horrible about that too. I heard her in her room saying, "I hate myself!" I went in and we talked some more. I was still just so upset. There were so many pictures on there that I remember really liking. I was also upset with myself. I initially gave them the old digital because I did not want them to use my good camera. But Tim sent Abbie back upstairs for the new camera. I should have said no. I wanted to say no but I just gave it to her because Tim asked for it.

So the point of this is that I don't really have any birthday pictures of Cam to post. There were some really cute ones of the kids playing with the Thomas "train" that Aunt Cathy made from cardboard boxes. They LOVED it. They had the best time playing in the boxes. I'll have to try to round the kids up and see if I can re-create the moment, good luck! I took 2 or 3 pictures last night when we had some birthday cake. Here's the best one.



He was mad because I told him "No" when he reached for the candles. Wow, I know it was 7:00 and almost the end of a long day but I didn't realize his shirt was THAT filthy. Funny what you notice in a photo that you don't normally notice when it's right in front of you all day long. I'll have another chance for pictures when Grammy gets back from her 2 week trip to Key West. She sucks.

Abbie's home. Homework time. Good to be back!!
