Well my poor camera, was murdered last week :( I was on the phone, and has the camera siting on the desk, putting the pictures onto the computer, and my lil Paige, decided she wanted to take pictures with it, "be like mommy". I'm not sure what happened, but the lens when I took it from her, would not open and close anymore...I was not happy to say the least. So I held onto it and showed it to my husband when he got home, and lets just say it ended up in about ten pieces by the time he was done. So now I am out of a camera. And its very heart-breaking. I loved my camera, and this Halloween is the first time we have carved a pumpkin with the kids, and my first time ever, so I am excited about it, and sad at the same time since I will have no photo memories of it.
I am hopeful that I will be able to somehow come up with the money to replace it. It may not be until tax time in February, and that means a Thanksgiving and Christmas, with no photos...(I may break down and pick up a 35mm disposable...ugh) I have never asked for anything but I will say if you find you have spare change, could you please please donate towards my new camera. Photos are my one way to remember things. You can place donations in the upper left hand corner of the blog. I never beg for money like this because it makes me uncomfortable, but my camera and photos mean that much to me, that I am reaching out for help. Thank you in advance.
Also I finally was able to get my glasses, instead of going back to Target I went down to Lens Crafters, and was able to save $45 dollars, and get them with in the hour instead of a week. I was thrilled with the results, but not so thrilled with the look...haha...I don't recognize myself in the mirror, guess I will adjust to that. I am glad I finally got them, and will be even more glad I'm sure once the adjustment phase is over and the headaches go away..haha...the woman who worked there told me the blurry vision, and nausea may be due to low blood sugar then my eyesight, so I will look into that.
Everyone here, is okay, we went through the flu bug that went around with the kids, thankfully it seemed to skip me and Will this round. The kids are better, cept for a cough that Lark and Rory can't seem to shake. Logan is trying hard to walk, and I told Will no more teaching him to walk until I get my camera replaced..hah...Like I could stop Logan from doing something if he wanted to, that boy is very headstrong. He has my stubbornness...haha..look out world.
You know its hard to understand people. What is peoples aversion to the word marriage, how come people are willing to stay "together" for years on end, but never get married, why is the word marriage looked at so wrong? I understand most marriages end in divorce, but those who do most of them are not the ones so dead set against it, in fact most of them are not oppose to doing it again, which means there was something about it they liked. Some people claim it is just paperwork, that all marriage is...that ridiculous...marriage is more then paper. Its a commitment, and vow, to now matter what make it work and love the other person. Maybe Im not the right person for this discussion. My marriage is far far from perfect, but I will say in spite of all the heartache and crying, and fighting, if something were to happen to the two of us, I would be open to marriage again. It is not the institution of marriage that screws things up, it is the people in it, who will not fight for what they believe in. Marriage fails, when one person stops trying and gives up. Or when both just have nothing left to give, after trying every other way to make it work. I am not bashing anyone who doesn't believe in marriage, as I am one of those who whole heartily do believe in it, I am simply trying to understand, because the comments I have heard on the subject from the other side do not make sense to me. If you have no problem staying with someone for years and years, then why do you have a problem having a beautiful day and sighing a paper...if you really intend to be with the significant other forever like you say then why get pissed when they want marriage, isn't it the same thing? Really, people need to grow up, if your using the marriage/divorce rate, come off it, you might as well use the date/split up ratio then! And avoiding a relationship because you are afraid of getting hurt is being a coward. You will never know how much you are missing if you never try.
I'm not going into why I decided to rant about this right now, but it just bothers me, that people who have never even tried the marriage route, who have never even barely managed to hold down a relationship, have the nerve to judge it so harshly. The problem is not with the word "marriage" its with the close minded people who are so wrapped up in them selves that they can not see past their own little bubble to what awesome things and people are out there.
My marriage may not be the best, but I would not trade our good times for anything in the world. And given the choice I would do it again, because I would not be me today without all he and I have gone through.
None of this may make sense, and I'm sorry if it doesn't but this is my space to rant about life, so if you read and agree then cool, if you read and don't agree then that is your opinion and if you read it and don't understand then I'm sorry , I don't know how to explain myself and my thoughts very well.
