I have spent nearly 18 straight hours trying to complete back up all of my business files and finish everyone’s images before we head to Chicago. Sadly enough… its just not going to happen. You know I feel bad about this and then I think to myself… I am human. I can only do what I can do! I have more caffeine in my body than any human being ever should and I have not even seen my kids except to kiss them goodbye for nearly 3 days!!!

I swear I am going to turn into Scrooge… Merry Flippin Christmas! LOL

My list of things “to do” keeps growing instead of getting shorter and I feel a panic attack coming. Xanax may not help with sleep but oh well. God help me if I make it through tonight and tomorrow I will be flying! I have not even started to do the laundry so that we can pack. I need to clean the fridge out so that it doesn’t rot while we are gone, and our christmas cards that have been done for two weeks… yeah they are not addressed yet! So if you receive a card that is postmarked in Chicago you will know why!

But here I sit. Jammin to some itune and chugging along my merry way. I have to laugh. It truly funny. When I step back and look at it. I am as busy in my business as I could want to be at this point. I had the most amazing session with this couple the other day and I even managed to enjoy my art and get some good captures of Kyleigh. There is money in the bank accounts, gas in the cars, food on the tables, and the family is getting over the crud which only really lasted for a day or two (thank god!) .

I walked out of my studio last night and it smelled like snow. You know how the air is so crisp and clean smelling before it snows. I closed my eyes for a minute and just stood there in the courtyard taking it all in. WOW… here I am. I am living a dream. Its so surreal I just wish that for a couple of moments each day that I could step outside myself and look in. I wish that I could take mental notes of every little thing. I will look back in years from now and think – how on earth…. I don’t even remember that. I want to remember every moment. I am so privileged and blessed that I cannot be anything but happy in the midst of all this craziness!
