April 26, 2011: a very important day

Why is April 26, 2011 so important? Well, because it's the day I stopped caring. I still care about myself, and my kids... But that's it. I don't care what people think, I don't care about some people that I cared about yesterday. Why? Eventually, you reach a point in your life that you hit that roadblock that just makes you not give a damn anymore. For me, that came today. Mostly because I realized its a dog eat dog world out there, and no one else besides myself really cares about my success or happiness. The people that should care, are way too self absorbed to even take notice of anything else, and while I find it incredibly annoying, I too, am going to do the same. While I'm not exactly sure how I should be feeling right now, I'm pretty sure I shouldn't be feeling as exhilarated as I actually do. And knowing that, I'm sure that I will be making lots more changes in my life in the near future. And the changes I make, won't cater to anyone's happiness, except for mine and my kids.

Laundry day = nudity

No, laundry day doesn't equal nudity because I waited that long to do it, and we're out of clothes... It equals nudity because if everyone in my household goes naked on laundry day, that means for one brief day, IM CAUGHT UP ON LAUNDRY!!!
Why, oh why can't this be legal??
I'm actually not sure why I hate laundry so much... I mean the washer does most all the work. Ok, I know why I hate it... It's the FOLDING and HANGING!! Its so time consuming, and let's face it, most of the time it sits in the laundry basket until the next time it's wanted to be worn, and then it's quickly spritzed with water and thrown in the dryer for a couple mins to release the wrinkles. (and all those wrinkle releaser products lie, they don't actually work). On top of that there's a lot of clothes that I can't put in the dryer because they shrink, so then I have tons of clothes hanging in doorways and on dryer racks in various rooms of the house. So basically, laundry is just a big mess. That I am NOT A FAN of.

Photoshop CS5

My newest venture, Photoshop.  

Unfortunately, I know absolutely nothing about it.  

Fortunately, they have youtube videos for tutorials.

Unfortunately , my internet is slower than molasses and will not allow me to watch said videos. 

Fortunately, they make books to teach you  the same thing. 

I will have to make a point to invest in some of these books, so I can learn to do some photoshopping. 

I am very excited to learn how to do all this, but it seems very overwhelming at the moment.  Hopefully, some good pictures will come out of the adventure. 

I am trying much harder to keep taking pictures, and I am ready to start getting serious about the kids' scrapbooks.  Like I need more on plate?!  The weather is just starting to get nice outside, so the kids want to be outside all the time, which does not leave much time for indoor hobbies.  

But hey, at least the weather is finally start to straighten itself out!
