Snow

Yep it's snowing again and with this latest observation come no anxiety. Now that I have a nice new big snow buster(My Flexy) sitting in the driveway I'm all calm and cool. Just need somewhere to drive now :)

This weekend I got to go out with my Dad and man did I love it.

Isn't he handsome?

We drove around Richmond all day scouting locations for an upcoming wedding we have and it was so much fun. We had coffee, we had some laughs, even a car accident. Ok that wasn't fun but I am glad it wasn't worse than it was. This week has already been crazy busy in between my 2 jobs, my family and then the wedding coming up. I can't see it slowing down anytime soon either. I guess I just need to get some balance with it all and once I achieve that, things should ride a little smoother.

Gorgeous

It's sunny, and the frost is melting like rain. It's a neat sight to see.

Why?

Why is it when you want people to go away so you can move on, they come back? Is it possible they just can't take the hint or must be so dang obvious it makes you look just nasty. I'm not sure of the answer to the above so right now I'm laughing about it inside and just ignoring that certain person and they're completely ridiculous question of " why aren't you my friend on facebook anymore"? Like seriously, Facebook??... if someone deletes you or blocks you you kinda have to just take the freaking hint and piss off... At least I think that way but apparently I might be the only one.

Facebook is so great for so many things but man, it sure is drama filled. It's a love hate for me for sure.

I guess in life you can't really just ignore people to get rid of them and expect them to disappear from your life, but in mine, I can and I will :) Some people are just not worth an explanation.

Oops

Ok so I haven't posted in a wee bit but here I am. Yesterday we finally got notion that Lil dirty pants might be suffering from Aspergers Syndrome. I have yet to get an official diagnosis but I am really hoping that would be it. For a 5 year old boy it's just so much more than him being just hyper and difficult. He has severe issues with social places and things, anxiety, emotions and many other things as well and the more I look into Aspergers, the more confident I am that this is our next challenge in life.

Lil dirty pants life has been a challenge since the day he was born but all that ever did was make him even more lovable. With his challenges come great things within our family unit that we might only be able to see and we love that. We love that this is his comfort zone and this is where he tends to excel at things. It's because he feels safe. To know that makes my heart warm and fuzzy. Mr Shiny pants and I have tried so very hard at everything to try and make some strides with Lil dirty pants but we feel as if we're stuck in ice and we just keep spinning. Yesterday, I felt us move a little and I cannot wait to stop the spin completely.

Other than Lil dirty pants we've been having some super fun times with miss glitter pants in the evening. She is starting to notice some extra attention given to her brother these past few days as we all try to figure this out so we make her some special time now. Usually it involves a lot of laughs and some TV game shows to make us a little smarter. Last night I was laughing so hard and she was laughing right back at me. She then commented I never laugh that hard and she's right. I spend so much time taking care of everyone else that life's not really funny that much, or I'm just to tired to actually engage in something that might be. But I'm really going to try harder to laugh, if it really is the best medicine, then I'll try it. And I guess my miss glitter pants will be a part of it and she can join in too.

Always good times at the Pants house :)

Is it Friday yet?

Ok no, one more day. It seems this week is just crawling by and I want it to be over. I saw the sun briefly yesterday and that in turn made me book my November trip to Hawaii. I need more sun. I need to sit on my deck and just breathe hot air. I guess tanning the ol' legs isn't such a bad idea too. They say we're supposed to have a sunny weekend and that the temps should rise to about +9. Not bad I say but let's get there and we'll chat then. Right now we're sitting pretty at +1 and I don't like it.

All the snow has melted from the HUGEST snow dump of my life and things look plain ass ugly these days. I want pretty, warm things, blooming things, dry things... You know... summer things. Heck I'll even take spring things because I can at least get my garden rolling again.

Ahh the garden, what to do with that this year. Last year we managed to cultivate a small portion of what used to be a massive garden and all that grew were some zucchini, peas and carrots. I also planted corn and cucumbers and pumpkins and none of them grew :( This year I'd like to do some tomatoes, cucumbers (round 2), lettuce, onions and peas again. Can you see where we're going with this, my dream is to have everything for a salad, right at my back door. I guess we'll see.

On Saturday I have a photo shoot.. oh yes that's right, I'm a photographer :) I have a friend coming down from.. I don't even really know where the hell she lives but it's not close, but she's coming down and I'm taking her to my shoot. Nothing says "aww" than doing a maternity shoot for a lady who is minutes away from birthing her first child. And the highlight of it all.... My truck!! I got a new car truck thingy just after New Years and I haven't really been able to drive it far so this is my 1st time where we can chill and enjoy the sweet ass ride.

So until then, please wish warmth upon me and I hope you all can find some too :)

More Info

Well I don't use a gun to shoot people, more of a Nikon :)

These are my sisters who are just gorgeous. It's not often I get to have them in one spot at the same time so I made sure the last time they were here, I got some pics of them. I wish I could see them more but I'm glad I can at least look back on these.
