Beauty is.... & Update

I took this picture (above) last night...... I was working on my business webpage... and I was trying to do something cool for a layout.... (that is actually my Harry Potter book that I STILL haven't finished) ... hopefully I will... I took more pictures like the one above yesterday, and today I took some 15 week Pictures of Nathan... there are some examples below, BUT - there are a ton more in my Moon N Star Moment Photography link to the side (between the two flower pictures) I would love to get some opinions on them :)

I had to include the last picture (above) because he's so sweet. He MADE me buy that monkey! LOL... Dennis says "how can he MAKE you buy anything?" I said "Well, he was crying and crying through Walmart and I grabbed the monkey and put it infront of him and he stopped.... " ... he just looked at me like I grew two heads. Yes I know, I am setting Nathan up to be spoiled... but, come on.... he's so cute! LOL...

I have not been feeling well today - and it's 8pm and I'm sooooooooo tired right now. I put Nathan to bed, but he's still awake and he's fussing .. so I think I might go get him and take him into my room and lay down with him in there.

Anyway - nothing much new going on here at home... it's been a lazy weekend.. I've been busting my behind getting computer stuff done for the business... but... still have so much left to do. Tomorrow I have to clean my house though :( OYE!

Found out a friend of mine is splitting up from her hubby today :( I'm sad for her, but I think - deep down... this is going to be her single most important step in her actually becoming a HAPPY person, because she hasn't been happy for a long time. I wish I could fast forward her to that point - but... I can't. She has to go down that horrible road of trying to figure everything out on who she is, what this means for her, what is most important, how to balance making herself happy being the wonderful person she is... and being Mom. It took time for me to start putting myself .. not above, or below... but on an even level with my kids. Being a single mom is so hard....

And I have to say - for all the single moms out there, or seperating moms.... that joining free dating sites is wonderful... you don't have to go on there for actual dates, but ... it's nice to know when your ex treated you like crap and put you down every chance that they got... that they aren't right and that not everyone shares their opinion. I gained SO MUCH weight while married... and I managed to lose a lot of it before I met Dennis (not mentioning I gained a lot of it back - thanks to Dennis being Italian and loving to cook AND getting and being pregnant with Mr. Nathan)... anyway - I couldn't seem to lose ANY of it until the day that I realized my marriage was over... and suddenly it all dropped off......

Anyway... I'm gonna go to bed... Daddy went and rescued the all important Nathan... who is sucking on his fist like he's STILL hungry... so I might go make him an ounce and see if he doesn't want a little more...

{{{HUGS}}} to all...
