I spent most of the day organizing photos from my hard drive and camera. It was a much larger job than I had anticipated...pretty much all of 2007 needed to be done. My system is to put a group of pictures on a CD and then print a contact sheet with all of those photos on it, then stick the CD and the contact sheet into a 3-ring binder. I've learned my lesson!! Thank you Dad for the fail proof system!! Now that I'm organized to date, I have to get all of the photos printed...that should be a small fortune with as many as I have! Which means I'll need more photo albums also. Since we LOVE our new camera so much, I'm quite sure I could fill a small room with all the pictures we have been taking. Our children will not be able to say their childhood was not well documented.
Brian should be landing at Love Field any minute if he hasn't already. Ash was bummed because she thought she would get to see him before she went to bed. But I promised her he would wake her up in the morning. Though, she's gotten up to go to the bathroom more than she ever has...I'm kind of thinking she's determined to see him tonight!!
I don't have a lot to blog about tonight, and if you're reading this, I'm pretty sure your life is just as boring as mine. But hopefully, happily boring, like mine! I hope you all had a GREAT weekend and I pray that Deena made it home from Ireland okay and that they had a vacation they will never forget. Came across the following today as I was figuring out what was on some CDs...you've probably seen it, but I think all of us Mother's like to read it often because it is so true...Sleep Tight!
Before I was a Mom -
I slept as late as I wanted and never worried about how late I got into bed.
I brushed my hair and my teeth everyday.
Before I was a Mom - I cleaned my house each day. I never tripped over toys or forgot words to a lullaby.
I didn't worry whether or not my plants were poisonous. I never thought about immunizations.
Before I was a Mom - I had never been puked on. Pooped on. Spit on. Chewed on. Peed on.
I had complete control of my mind and my thoughts.
I slept all night.
Before I was a Mom - I never held down a screaming child So that doctors could do tests or give shots.
I never looked into teary eyes and cried.
I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin.
I never sat up late hours at night watching a baby sleep.
Before I was a Mom - I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn't want to put it down.
I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when I couldn't stop the hurt.
I never knew that something so small could affect my life so much.
I never knew that I could love someone so much.
I never knew I would love being a Mom.
Before I was a Mom - I didn't know the feeling of having my heart outside my body.
I didn't know how special it could feel to feed a hungry baby.
I didn't know that bond between a mother and her child.
I didn't know that something so small could make me feel so important and happy.
Before I was a Mom - I had never gotten up in the middle of the night every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay.
I had never known the warmth, the joy, the love, the heartache, the wonderment or the satisfaction of being a Mom.
I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much before I was a Mom.
And before I was a Grandma, I didn't know that all those "Mom" feelings more than doubled when you see that little bundle being held by 'your' baby... 
My Little Princess...
