A modge podge!

I decided not to leave my giveaway at the top of my blog for several reasons.. but mainly because it was TOO BIG ... so, if you want to learn more.. you can refer to my sidebar! its all there! :D thanks to those who have already "signed up" ....

So, I started working... Just part time... and it stinks... Let me tell you how this all came about, then I will get to why it stinks :D
I have been dabbling into photography for sometime now and my dh and I had discussed me taking classes at a local college for it.. to build my confidence, learn my camera bla bla bla.
Well, all the photographers I talk to say college is "ok" but if you REALLY want to learn, just do it! So, Its Christmas time and we all know what that means CHRISTMAS PICTURES so, Dh and I talked about me applying at a local photography place for the experience and I will get PAID for it... better then paying to go to college right?
Well I know one of the managers at this place and she hired me on the spot.. she had been seeing my work and was impressed so, ok, I start the next day...
I hated leaving my family but kept telling myself its ONLY seasonal and its for EXPERIENCE.. and the bonus was a couple extra bucks which, we can really use right now...
so, I go..... the first few days was basic training stuff , no biggie.. but yesterday I learn that probably where I will be used the most is... in SALES.... HUH? SALES? I DIDNT SIGN UP FOR SALES!!!!! ok, I dont want to work there if sales is all I will be doing. I am not leaving my kids and my husband for 15 or so hours a week to dupe people into buying pictures that they dont need/want/cant afford in the first place.. that isnt my style and certianly not my "thing" . SO, that is why it stinks and I am going to give it a few more days or so so they can see my work and hopefully want to have me take photos... I just honestly dont have it in me to go to work to "sell" everyday.
Thursday was my day off and I was privilaged enough to have lunch with some friends... I had a great time but, the entire time I had my sons Drs appointment in the back of my mind. It was confirmed that he is having siezures and the Dr wanted to "see me" I was a nervous wreck.. only to find out my dred was all for nothing since, well, she is ok with how he is righ tnow, his seizures arent harming him so, we just wait... Even tho I knew he had them, it was still hard to hear..
THEN on thursday the local preschool called and had an opening for him to get in... Gabe is a bright guy... very bright.. but he lacks in the fine motor skills department a smidge... His nurologist wants him to go to Occupational theropy but, Insurance wont pay for it since its something he could get done for free at school.. OY... So, Dh talked it over, prayed about it, went and saught advice and came to the conclusion that, we would rather him be in for Preschool and get this worked out, then to wait till he is older when I am trying to homeschool him and him have issues...
Tho I feel we made the right decision, I am very sad about taking him to school on Monday.. I am hyping it up for him, I dont want him to beleive that he is going to this "bad place" cause, I dont believe that its a bad place... his teacher is a member of my cousins baptist church.. Praise the Lord for that... but, I will miss him.. I am very attatched and watching his little self walk into the classroom for the first time will definatly pull on this mommys heart strings.
Anyways like I said I keep telling myself that its all SO I can homeschool him later.. and even tho my HEAD knows it.. my heart is in denial...
I will post pics of my handsome boys "first day of school" after Monday.. till then you all have a wonderful Lords day!~

Kristy, I can imagine how hard it will be to see him go to school! I'm sure you are wise to have him go, though. I'll be praying for you. Sorry about the photography thing...that's a bummer! I hope it will get better for you. I'd love to see more of your photos! :)
